Some Very Rare, Very Vintage (and Very Short) TJ Footage From 1966

81249909Tomorrow, a 1996 BBC documentary about Tom and another performer that should make us so happy that the internet brings is friends and TJ fans from around the world!

This is from January 1966 and is an interview with Tom done in Belfast Northern Ireland on INT

I found it onITNsource and it is, as noted in the description below, of very poor quality in both picture and sound that I couldn’t improve. But it’s kind of quaint. This clip lasts 1:45. The full interview is available for sale for £146. (I chose to pass.) The photo, obviously, isn’t from the interview but it is from 1966.

Here’s the description of the clip:

- Touring Australia and New Zealand / Appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show in the USA
- Affect of marriage on his career is negligible as plays to older audiences / Thinks if your audience is young you should be single
