>Not holding my breath on that one either. They've both been sucked into a black hole.
Well...there is hope. They are not totally lost, as is the case with many British wetlook scenes I know of where they are listed as "lost/wiped" tapes due to the BBC and ITV wiping many old recordings. We may never find the long lost Bo Derek wetlook pool scene interview she did on the BBC Show "Pebble Mill at One", because the Pebble Mill Studios in Birmingham have since been demolished, and when they were tearing down the building they literally threw hundreds of old videotape masters into a construction skip, and some people scrambled and rescued a few tapes of the old Pebble Mill Show literally by dumpster diving. That is how some old tapes from that show have now ended up on Youtube -- but so far the Bo Derek wetlook episode is missing. There are dozens of UK wetlook scenes from the 60's and 70's I saw on tv that have never been found...e.g. the "Tomorrow World" science show episode where they were measuring how the heart rate increases when you pour buckets of cold water over people, and a young lady from the audience in a nice dress volunteerd to get a soaking. I saw that in the late 60's and I can tell you it was not just the girl whose heart rate increased....mine did too....ha ha.
Old American TV shows are far better preserved than old British shows. Even if an old American show is has never been re-aired or released on dvd.....many of those shows can be found on Ebay on 16mm film reels....as is the case with that Paul Lynde Show pool wedding scene, I have a faded film reel copy of it from 16mm film. Same thing with that Larry Hagman/Donna Mills series....one episode is on Youtube already (from a 16mm film transfer) and there is a collector who has 5 of the 13 episodes from 16mm film transfers as well.
Many American tv series have litterally been destroyed by studio fires....e.g. the series BJ and the Bear and Sheriff Lobo will never be aired agaiin because thousands of mastertapes including those 2 series were destroyed in the fire at Universal Studios in the 1990 and 1998 fires.

...so today the only known copies of those series are ropey old home made vhs copies in low quality.
But I check Ebay and the iOffer sites every so otten to see what private collectors have to offer.

The C&T scene took place in an October 1976 episode of their show during one of the music videos. They were cavorting in a field and suddenly fall into a small pond or something, then splash around for a while. It was a pretty good scene so we'll probably never find it. Same with the Hagman/Mills scene, she was wearing heels and a black maid outfit. Not holding my breath on that one either. They've both been sucked into a black hole. |

As far as The Captain and Tenille Show goes, cable tv might be a better option than the so-called official DVD boxed set, because they released "The Captain & Tennille Show: Ultimate Collection" on an official boxed set 10 years ago, which I bought because they used the word "Ultimate Collection"....so I assumed it was a complete set with all 20 episodes ever made. However, I soon found out that the official boxed set was a rip off because it only contained 11 of the 20 episodes and 9 episodes were missing....and thats not what I call an "Ultimate Collection" ....that is what I call a "partial collection". I am not sure which wet scene you are looking for with Toni Tenille, because they did release her wetlook carwash scene on the boxed set - was there another wet scene in the missing 9 episodes. The only scene I know of that has never been found so far is a pie scene where Charo was pied (the pie fans are still looking for that episode). So -- we might see some of those 9 missing episodes on ME-TV someday.
There are numerous wetlook scenes from lost sitcoms made in the early 70's that have never been repeated or released on DVD and still have not shown up on ME TV or other Retro cable stations.....e.g. the 1971 Sitcom called "The Good Life" where Larry Hagman played a butler and Donna Mills played a maid....and both of them went in the pool fully clothed.....still cannot find this old tv series....

"So it seems RTV are missing the most vital episode 8 because they are not showing it."
Yeah, that's why I don't get excited over stuff like that, the very scene I'm after is never there. Just like the 1976 wet scene from "The Captain and Tennille Show" that never seems to show up anywhere. Even the "Laugh-In" reruns I've seen tend to be heavily edited. |

Nice pic.....reminds me of the great wet dress pics of Elizabeth Montgomery with Jill St John and Carol Burnett after they exited the pool from the "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed" movie scene. These kinds of pics are rather frustrating because the best money shots are not in the actual movie and only exist in still photos. Suzanne was also in wet dress scenes in the Steve Mcqueen film "Nevada Smith"...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060748/mediaviewer/rm3894522112 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687189/mediaviewer/rm3418916608 and if you think it is crazy to spend $44 for that Ebay photo.....get this....this wet dress pic of Suzanne from Nevada Smith is only a pic of her wet bum, and they are asking $499 for that !! - go figure
BTW.....have you noticed that RTV Antenna Channel are now re-running the old "Paul Lynde Show" every weekend. This is the first time it has been seen in 45 years and contains the best wed wedding in the pool scene ever seen in a sitcom. I was looking forward to capturing that lost episode (episode 8) because I only have a faded 16mm film transfer copy of that episode that has washed out colors, and want to get a fresh copy of that scene. I think it was you that sent me that awesoome wet wedding pool scene. So I set my DVR to record all 26 episodes of that series....but guess what.....they only aired episodes 1 to 7 and episodes 10 to 26.....with episodes 8 and 9 missing. So it seems RTV are missing the most vital episode 8 because they are not showing it. Perhaps the mastertape is missing for that episode.....so maybe that 16mm film copy of episode is the only version that exists....so if we have the missing episode on 16mm film and they don't have it, perhaps that is worth $499 to buy it from us ....ha ha -- here is a pic from that missing episode... |

Can't direct link but this link will send you in the right direction. Suzanne Pleshette emerges from a fountain in a red dress after a scene from "If it's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium". She was wearing red heels when she went in and is likely still wearing them in the picture. The 'after" shot is not in the movie. Nice, but I doubt he'll get 44 bucks for it. She had an earlier wet scene in the Ugly Dachshund". |
