None of this footage even looks remotely familiar, but then it was recorded before I was born. Usually, you at least see footage used here and there on clips with other television shows. I've not seen any from this one that I can recall.
This is one of those videos that you need to watch closely to the background players that eventually became frontmen themselves. There is a commentary available on the DVD that you can listen to that will tell a few of those.
