Solved

Can't seem to get an image approved for the Russell Harty show?

I've been updating all the cast lists, etc., as it's worth doing. For each one I've also added a screenshot.

But for Episode 1.30 I can't get one approved: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13269474/reference/?ref_=ttep_ep_30

Just for background, then this episode was broadcast from the US to UK TV as a special tie-in. The broadcast of NTSC signals on PAL TV at this stage was really bad, so the screenshot looks poor quality compared to the others I've added...but that IS what it looked like.

It's technically a poor shot that looks low res, but this is an ACCURATE representation of what was shown on BBC2 in 1981. I even added a trivia point to cover this.

Here's the others I've uploaded so far: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0313123/episodes/?ref_=ttrv_ov_ep_epl

Hello MovieCat

Can you help us posting the 18-digits submission reference number for the contributions? to take a look for you!

You can find the submission number in your Contribution History BETA page.

@Fran​ Thank you Fran. It turns out I'd submitted it more than once (assuming I hadn't submitted it when it didn't appear.)

The last time was under 

#260820-202007-037519

One of the submissions had the highly legitimate reason of rejection as "poor quality". (Although I've seen plenty worse on here, sadly.)

However, like I said, this is legitimate, as the broadcast WAS in poor quality.

Just as proof, I've uploaded a clip, where you can see the instant transition between the BBC2 continuity announcement and the cut to the US broadcast (which was also via satellite, which was primitive in the early 1980s):
