Before the explosion of commercially sold VHS tapes and now DVDs, TV stations rarely archived all of their shows. Amazingly some material has survived the years. I have been attempting to catalogue Gilbert's television appearance for quite awhile now. Unfortunately, I have volumes of material from various countries but key information is missing (year, show title, song title and air dates). I have seen some of these performances, thanks to other GOS collectors. However, many are just show titles pulled from various TV guides, fan club newsletters and other references. This is an ongoing effort with constant revisions and verifications. Can you lend a hand? All submissions are welcomed!
