Robin halfway down the stairs

Hi all

This is my first post to this forum I was hoping that someone could tell me which dvd Robins classic "halfway down the stairs" clip is on please? I am in the UK and really keen to get a copy of this!

Which version is on the DVD, the blue background or the yellow background? Hoping for yellow, I never liked the blue.

Jerry also performs it at the funeral. Robin's not there, it's just him, though.

Yes it's the yellow, The blue was used for "Top of the Pops"...i think.

I've just watched it again, the lighting is a combination of purple, blue and pale yellow. Is this the TOTP version? Did the yellow version precede it?

Any help?
Thanks!

They did two versions for the show, one was mostly blue and purple (as seen on Nickelodeon), the other yellow and black (as seen on "Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets"). The live version on TOTP had a red background.

I've always preferred the yellow and black, myself- it has a warmer look and feel to it, a glow.

...the other yellow and black (as seen on "Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets").

And also in the original broadcast version of the show. I don't know when it was re-edited to use the blue version - or why - but it probably occurred some time after 1983, as I have an original copy of the ep dated '83 which definitely uses the yellow version.

Strangely enough, it only seems to have been a video edit - if you lay the picture from one version of the ep against the sound from the other, everything lines up perfectly...
