Interesting considering The Quiet Man probably does more to stereotype the Irish than any other film. Wasn't Jenkinson the Radio Times film reviewer back in the 1970s?

Yes he was the RT reviewer.He did some very good shows at the NFT.In the days before video his shows were about the only way of seeing big musical numbers eg Lullaby of Broadway ,By a Waterfall,Forgotten Man on tv.

I simply emailed the BFI with the full name and broadcast date of the programmes I was interested in and asked if they could confirm whether or not they had them. The answer was yes for one and that the BBC had the other and they could arrange for it to be made available for viewing.

The cost isn't as great as ITV but one can only view the material - no copying.

All the best

Eric Idle did a great impersonation of Philip Jenkinson in a 1972 edition of Python.

look for these types of video recorders........

PHILIPS EL3400 / PETO-SCOTT 3400 (1963-68) this is a big, HEAVY 1" reel to reel video tape recorder, a hybrid valve/transistor 405 line machine,and was the first domestic vtr.............3,000 were produced and sold in the UK; I have one,and know of one in Norfolk and one taken to the States.They were made until 1968........

TELCAN (1964-6)used normal reel to reel audio tape, and ran at high speed. Only sold in small numbers, and I know of one only. No recordings found.

PHILIPS LDL range,( 1968 ) , 1/2 " SKIP-FIELD recorder, used reel to reel tapes,replaced the 3400 range-- 625 line transistorised--come up quite often on ebay etc.

SONY 1/2" SKIP-FIELD reel to reel recorder range (1968) similar to above

SHIBADEN was introduced in 1968, and many are known to be in good order

Missing episodes might be found on tapes for the above --keep a watch on ebay etc.

1970 brought the U-Matic from Sony................. several types were available, but 1/2 of the types recorded in B/W only.............

Thanks 'Fellwanderer'......interesting that it might be possible to 'view' the programme....trouble is we're so spoilt now, I think I'd find it too frustrating not to be able to keep it!
