Like most things from is era instead or having them on a shelf they were wiped to save on film many TV classics suffered from this.
Good Evening I'm Jonathan King was interesting to watch many great faces shame this was one of them caught up in the destruction.

I shall be glued to the fourth and final Alan Whicker show tonight at 9pm on BBC2 - why not more shows? It's surely worth 13. Rather like Stephen Fry in America which should have been 50 shows - 1 per state.
By the way Andrew, my 60s series was called Good Evening I'm Jonathan King but there's only one hour of excerpts left - the hour I bought from ITV when the 26 week run ended in 1967... and much of that is up on You Tube. The rest was destroyed (why?).

I wonder just how many hit records of the 80s owe it to you JK . Not just "Entertainment USA" and "No Limits" but also your brief spots on "Top Of The Pops" when you could turn a record dropping down the charts into a huge hit e.g. "Say Say Say"

you must ALWAYS voice your complaint when you see idiotic actions or believe you know a better answer to some castophe being perpetuated by a government body.
I always do in writing and I guarantee public servants everywhere roll their eys and say "Angry Of Kings Cross/Clapham Common" is moaning again.
I love eventually pointing out that I was correct and they should have taken my advice.
No doubt I have a large some file somewhere..probably on a "no fly " list.

Never ever saw this before my time but be great for night viewing like the repeats of Old Grey Whistle Test.
What was the other show JK did in the 60's that be good for repeats ?
