One instance was the employee who filmed Bowie doing Jean Genie on TOTP as he'd invented/perfected the special fx used. At the time the footage reemerged he said he'd got, I think, up to two hundred - I'm sure it was over a hundred - other clips. What's happened to them, I wonder. Perhaps the beeb's tried to or succeeded in snaffling them...and I wonder which avts were involved. So, yes, there's always hope. Personally, what I'd love to see again mostest of the TOTP footage is The Groundhogs doing stuff off Split from '71 (yup, I'm old). B+w, sfx - praps by the same guy as Bowie a year later, therefore maybe kept by him? - wild playing, totally fab. There was a few months when bands came on TOTP and did up to three numbers live...praps this was a tryout for the OGWT, which iirc started later that year. I watched TOTP religiously back then - I'm pretty certain I saw the Moody Blues, Faces and Golden Earring in the same format, will headscratch as to who else.
