I am trying to locate an episode of Parkinson, Series 3, Episode 14,
with Phil Silvers and Oscar Peterson. I can't find it on You-Tube, even
though there are many others, and one site directed me to Disney+. I
could not find it in their list of shows, and I had a very
unsatisfactory Online Chat discussion with somebody (something?) called
Zoi, who had a vague grasp of English and kept on telling me to use
social media, however many times I said I don't use it. I could not get
a straight 'Yes' or 'No' answer, and eventually I called by 'phone, and
was told that they do not have Parkinson interviews. At least I got an
answer, even if the muzak that came on when I went to the queue nearly
deafened me.
So how do I find this episode?
Any pointers most welcome.

Does it actually exist? I'm pretty certain the Oscar Peterson one does as
that was when Oscar was actually allowed to sing and sounded like a quiet
version of Nat King Cole in fact, though he was, shall we say quite a large
chap. I don't recall Phil Silvers, when did he pass away, it was a very long
time ago, before Oscar Peterson as I recall.
Brian, what you might have seen is one of the compilations that the BBC
used to air of famous interviews like the Emu one.

Is this of any help?

Looks like it was the 8 December 1973 episode of Parkinson.
Unfortunately, IMDB doesn't appear to have any more info:
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0669893/characters/nm0799014?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t6>

I guess that it might be one of the "lost recordings".

SIMKL
says it aired on Dec. 09. but what's a day? Does this Parkinson mean
that there are several episodes that have disappeared for ever? Darn!!!

I think 8 December was the "Release date":
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0669893/releaseinfo?ref_=ttfc_ql_2>

Wasn't video tape still pretty expensive in 1973 and likely to be
reused? Or was Parkinson filmed rather than taped?

> S03E14 : Oscar Peterson, Orsted Pedersen, Phil Silvers Season 3, Episode

Was Phil Silvers interviewed again by Parkinson in 1974?

It is the specific episode with both Phil Silvers and Oscar Peterson
that I want, though.
Thanks anyway.

I did a hunt and found a mention of the episode on the BBC Archive bit
of twitter.

There was a comment that this episode is omitted from the box set
because of copyright issues. That might explain why it isn't on youtube
either.

IMDB's cast list for that episode has Phil Silvers but not Oscar
Peterson. Is it possible they played a video of Oscar on the show?

I've just found SIMKL's website:
https://simkl.com/tv/5715/parkinson/season-3/episode-14/
It says the episode includes both Phil and Oscar and is on Disney+,
but you have to pay for that.

Disney+ say they have no Parkinson episodes.

The best part of the show was when Phil Silvers sat down next to Oscar
Peterson at the piano, and played with him. He looked skyward, and
exclaimed "Mama! I'm playing piano with Oscar Peterson!"

That makes some sense. I wonder how I could find a copy, then, even via
a legitimate process? Ask the BBC?

If you are able to receive binary newsgroups, you could put a request on
alt.binaries.sounds.radio.bbc

Give the details (Series 3 Episode 14 and the date broadcast: 8 December
1973), and somebody might have it.

Can't help with the recordings but there are some Oscar Peterson
programmes in the BBC Programme Index that seem to have a number of
Canadian artists so it might be worth looking at Archives Canada to see
if they hold sound recordings.

BBC Written Archives have just announced some more catalogue information
being put online.

I can't find that news-group listed on Eternal-September. And this is a
TV programme, not a radio programme, which '.sounds' implies.
But thanks for the suggestion.

Eternal September is a text-only service. That is why you won't find
any newsgroups with "binaries" in their name.

I know the group I suggested is not really a TV newsgroup, but it is the
only one that restricts itself to BBC broadcasts and they do
occasionally include TV as well as radio. Provided it remains
predominately radio, they are tolerant of occasional excursions.

Unfortunately, now that Virginmedia have discontinued their newsgroups
service I no longer see binaries either (I am another Eternal-September
convert) so I can't do it for you, but I do remember what it looked like
when I was subscribed to it.

Actually, there is a section of E-S devoted to alt.binaries.*, but I
haven't looked into any of them. The one you mention is not there.
I used to subscribe to binaries via a private server in Kansas, but the
owner has disappeared, probably into a hospital, and won't respond to
any form of contact. I sent the cops round once before, from here
in the UK, maybe I need to do so again.

As it was a BBC program, I'd definitely start there myself.
