2008 and Birmingham based classic TV organisation Kaleidoscope produce a series for ITV called Raiders of the lost Archive. Kaleidoscope find and restore missing UK TV footage from Top of the Pops, Lift Off With Ayshea and many more long lost TV Shows.
In the days when video tape was expensive the TV companies wiped many thousands of hours of our TV heritage.
Luckily people had invested in early domestic video recorders and recorded shows & music performances that no longer exist in the official TV archives.
Nod was contacted by Kaliedoscope to appear on the show, Camilla Wheeler up at ITV Leeds was the researcher in charge.
Obviously I had a hand in this edition (which, despite being recorded in 2008, wasn't broadcast until 2009, due to certain contractual conditions)
There was a sneek preview of the series shown at Stourbridge Town Hall at a Kaleidoscope screening event.
