Was saying on the other board-this should be fascinating! I’ve seen one clip of the BBs being chased around in a car by comedian Dave Allenby while in a car. And yes it was very much a Monkees TV show vibe (or Benny Hill perhaps) but allegedly contains some great and never seen concert footage from Queensland. Would love to see it
