unfortunately I only remember The Making of the Empire Strikes Back that broadcast on a Friday evening which made me want to leave my Nan's house early.

But, the wallpaper behind Fisher:

I had the same in my bedroom! What nostalgia to see that again! Anybody know of any clean image of that wallpaper? Could make good computer desktop wallpaper ...

Edit:
Here's some other pics of the bedroom wallpaper. Am I easily pleased or is this pretty cool?!

My parents told me that when they moved into the house where I would grow up, there was Star Wars wallpaper on the walls. I had never seen such wallpaper before now. So ... neat.

It certainly does sound like the PARBOT stuff, doesn't it!!

Perhaps the guy who bought it might be able to do a trade with you of some kind. Have you contacted him via ebay?

Just to let you all know that I contacted the guy selling this 16mm Making of ESB. Luckily he had another print, which I purchased from him.

Sadly it's only SPFX but a great find nonetheless.

The search continues. Though, the more I look, the more I think this was never broadcast.

I'd forgotten about your post Mark, sorry! Remind me, where do you live? What channel was it likely to have been broadcast on? Any details which may lead us to it.

The search continues with a renewed haste!

Toronto Canada. I dont remember the channel but I'm assuming one of the big networks (NBC, CBS, ABC)

American network near Toronto?

If you're talking the Big Three, you'd probably mean the ones here in the Buffalo area - WGRZ2 (NBC), WIVB4 (CBS) and WKBW7 (ABC)?

Sent another, did you recieve them? I hope I did it correctly.

Reference:

"There’s a TV special showing a behind-the-scenes look at the battle scene on Hoth, the painstaking art of stop-motion animation. I hear something about a new character being performed by Frank Oz."

Rok, regarding that Hamill clip in TeleBingo (Mies Bouwman) , I wonder if this friend of yours is willing to give you a good VHS recording and afterwards an upload from you ; that should be wonderful ; I think this will bring back fond memories from back all those years ago (seems a lifetime) ; I live in Belgium and remember some of the guest appearances from then on Belgian and Dutch TV (but who has these gems on VHS ; surely no VHS tape has survived this long!!) ; I will keep an eye out for any of these clips/docus ; cheers, P
PS thx for the uploads Rok ; you rule !!!!
No, there is no potential end to your collection ....
