I hope what survives is in good shape. Did artists perform live? All footage must be in black and white, which will probably limit its appeal. And mono of course. Not for me. Bring it on!

I wonder what made Dave Clark finally sell them? Perhaps he needs the money.

I wouldn't have thought so..he hasn't so far as I am aware any children, but he is in his 70's now so maybe just wants to sell off some of his assets.
Hope we see all available footage released, including The Stones footage, of which there is quite a lot, I believe (if not amongst the wiped ones).

In the UK:
On BBC4 20 March 2020
9pm The Story of Ready Steady Go
10pm The Best of Ready Steady Go
No doubt the usual Stones clips, but maybe worth a watch.
Both listed as 'New' so perhaps not shown before.
Followed by a Roy Orbison documentary!

Just been watching a clip of PIB. I can remember watching these live programmes,probably my real introduction to RS
A great picture further up the thread too. Back then, I was about 14, everyone told me I looked like Cathy McGowan, I had long dark hair , way down over my eyes, just like in that picture.
Last year, I was prompted by a sister's funeral, to hunt out some family photos. I took one of me (aged around 14) out of an album, and flipped it over, hoping there would be a date on the back. There wasn't, but someone had written 'Cathy McGowan on a good day'! I don't remember who wrote it, don't recognise the writing, the photo had been in the album well over 50 years. It's unlikely I'll ever solve that mystery!
Well I sure don't look like that any more, but then nor does she I guess. Now it's the grandchildren who grump at me for letting my hair cover my eyes, not my mum.
Have to go, Mick's on again. A bit of welcome relief from the world atm
Keep well and stay safe my friends x

I think Dave Clark has selfishly held onto the RSG archive as well as his own band's output for way too long. Kids today don't care about this stuff and his audience (meaning customers) are aging. About time. Hope he does it right (slim chance) and releases episodes in their entirety. Watching Allen Klein and ABKCO miss every opportunity on archival releases has soured me on these guys. Hope he surprises me!

Those were the days when The Stones were happy to appear on the small screen, albeit to plug their latest product.
Shame that unlike a lot of their contempories (except perhaps Dylan and Led Zepp, for different reasons) they pretty much abandoned the format post 1967. Occasional visits to the Old Grey Whistle Test studios but that was pretty much it, in the UK.

Don't forget the David Frost show. HTW, SFTD, YCAWGWYW!

OK.....Let's say post 1969, then!
But there were /are some good programmes...Jools Holland of course, still running ...and The Tube and The Word, for example.
