Matt Monro's Appearing in "This is Your Life"

[Jumong Singson]

Hello I Would Like To Ask If This is Your Life
Video Existing Because I Found A Photos In The Web And Also Why The Official Channel Of Matt Monro Didn't Uploading Clips Now.

God Bless You All

[ROBERT M.]

While Richard answers you Jumong I'm sure Matts This Is Your Life did come out on one of Matts DVD releases a few years ago ......but maybe clips from the programme are not available anywhere else because of legal reasons ......but Richard will have to clarify

[Rmoore]

Hi, Yes, it's all down to legal reasons.

The shows are full of clips licenced for other people which do not belong directly to Thames TV/Fremantle who own the rights to the show. On top of that, you have to get permission from the people or their estates of everyone who appears on-screen - Which is a nightmare - and why This is Your Life shows in general are not repeated or released on DVD or online.

Richard or other MM members was the Matt This Is Your Life released on a Matt DVD a few years back or am I dreaming it

[john]

It was shown at one of the fan club meets Robert, I think it was the last one in 2011 but it isn't on dvd.

[ROBERT M.]

Cheers John.....I did actually see clips of the show not that long ago, maybe on Youtube or any clips of it on DVD releases. I remember Sammy Davis saying to Matt that Matt is the better singer but Sammy said that he is the tallest of the two then Matt tried standing up higher to make himself look taller than Sammy

[Rmoore]

The estate own a copy (and of course have the Red Book and Vinyl record of the soundtrack presented to the 'subject') and John is correct, we showed it at a fan convention back in 2011.

No DVD release. Some of it was briefly on YouTube. The master copy is still present and correct in the Thames TV archive

[ROBERT M.]

I must have seen it when it was briefly on Youtube............I did watch the show when it was on tv originally ................if the estate own a copy, is there a chance it may appear on Matt's Youtube channel one day ?

[Rmoore]

We do have a copy, but unlike the millions who just post what they want, we are tied to what right holders will allow as we have to do it all legally.

Hello Richard, Why Matt's Brother Got Heart Attack After The Show?

[Rmoore]

Just one of those things brought on my excitement, I expect. After a short stay in Hospital he was released and lived many more years.
