Any chance of a brief update? I realise whatever's going on will be reported in full in the fullness of time but it would be nice to have even a vague progress report.
I seem to recall someone saying that some black and white Joe 90 prints had been found, for example.
Best of luck whatever you can/can't say...

Hi Anthony, yes the Joe 90 prints (a few of anyway) were all that was left from the 1960's in Zambia. There is some two inch VT of Thames wrestling, but apart from that there is very little other than more recent existing stuff. We are still collating material in Zambia and we should have a full report by the end of the year. Kenya is another location where we have exhausted all possibilities regarding archive TV material although we are still making a catalogue of the surviving recent material for FIAT.
The only other country we can now cross off the list is Mauritius; via the Mauritius High Commissioner I've had direct contact with their archivist and I now know the fate of all of their archive TV material. Again, once everything has been collated I'll put together a detailed document. I'm sorry I can't say more.
Regards,
Paul
