Colour Me Pop was a British music TV programme broadcast on BBC2 from 1968-1969. It was a spin-off from the BBC 2 arts magazine show Late Night Line-Up. Designed to celebrate the new introduction of colour to British television,[1] it was directed by Steve Turner, and showcased half-hour sets by pop and rock groups of the period. The programme was a pioneering precursor to the better remembered BBC music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test (1971–87). Unlike its successor, most of the editions of Colour Me Pop are lost.[2]

Surviving material from the show
Currently only the editions featuring The Small Faces, The Moody Blues, The Move and Trapeze are held in the BBC archive, as well as the episode featuring The Chambers Brothers that was never broadcast. In addition, three songs from the Bonzo Dog Band edition survive (one in unbroadcastable quality), plus film inserts from the Clodagh Rodgers/Honeybus edition, and the trailer for the Salena Jones show.[4][5]
Other material that is known to exist outside the BBC is as follows: A black and white copy of the Nice edition is known to be at large on the collectors circuit. There exists a b/w French TV-shot promo film for The Hollies "Listen to Me" that was filmed during their Colour Me Pop recording. Off-monitor screenshots from the Giles Giles and Fripp, Timebox and Toast editions survive in private hands (though in 2009 Timebox drummer John Halsey cast doubt on the Timebox screenshots, stating they were from another show).[2] The soundtracks to the Giles Giles and Fripp, Hollies, Caravan, Fleetwood Mac, Barry Noble, Ten Years After, Family, Bonzo Dog Band, Kinks and David Ackles editions are also known to survive.[6]
Videos identified as being taken from the programme can be seen on the YouTube website, including recordings of Bonzo Dog Band, Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, The Nice, The Moody Blues, The Move, and The Small Faces.[7]
