There are tons of filmed Interviews and TV Stuff of Queen circulating from the 80s on, but given that they were very popular in the 70s they (probably) did a lot television shows even back then, or am I mistaken?
This is what I'm aware of ( # - means I did not see it, but read about it)

Back in the day home video wasn't readily available and many shows were never taped, so I wanted to know what else might be out there or what may have existed at one point in time.

Nicely compiled ! I'm sure this will be an ever-growing list.
I don't think I recall seeing these - are they out there for the taking?

Also, I have 11-28-74 (instead of 11-21-74) and 6-16-77 (instead of 6-14-77) as TOTP dates.
6-16-77 is almost a sure bet, since TOTP always aired on Thursdays.
Open to discussion, of course !
One worth mentioning is Pop Quest. It was a music quiz during kids TV programs at about 5pm mid week.
During a program in 1977, I think It was, they had BM as a special guest taking about his guitar and demoing how he put the Brighton Rock solo together

1) Supersonic Saturday Scene - not in circulation but both Roger and the host Sally James mention him being on the show previously "before Bohemian Rhapsody came out" during the 1976 Interview. (it's on YouTube)
2) from Queenpedia.com "Promoting their sixth album, 'A Day At The Races' in December of 1976, Brian guested on The Old Grey Whistle Test as an interviewee rather than a performer (unlike many of their contemparies Queen never performed a 'session' for the tv show), and John turned up on Saturday morning kids show Multi Coloured Swap Shop a few days later."
from Queenonline Forum "i remember john deacon made an appearance on multi coloured swap shop to promote a day at the races. It was outdoors and keith chegwin interviewed him, he hung around with the kids a while..i remember it really well."
3) This has been recently discovered. Freddie interviewed by Molly Meldrum. A few bits have been used in "The Nation's Favorite Queen Song" TV program if i'm not mistaken. link

Thanks for that. Though in some instances i'm not quite sure if the dates refer to the day of taping or the day of airing.
A friend assures me that Brian made an appearance on Magpie (70s kids show) where he spoke a little about his guitar and rig...I've not seen in but would love to if anyone has it.
Never knew Brian was on Magpie... I think the Sally james fronted show was just called Saturday Scene. I remember Roger being on that a couple of times. Really would love to see the footage of Brian interviewed on Whistle Test - missed that one, and once you'd missed something back then, that was that.

Brian was interviewed via the phone on OGWT the morning after the Jazz launch and a video of Dead on Time was played (the visuals were later used erroneously for KYA on Magic Years) - Fuller pinched my low res share.
Brian was also on a London Weekend TV show in 1974 - I think I shred an article about it on here a few months back.

You think you can post that article again, that would be terrrrrrific.
I recorded the sound for the Magpie interview on my cassette recorder at the time. I probably still have the tape of it somewhere...shall try and dig it out!
