NBC 50th anniversary

On Sunday 21st November 1976, US TV station NBC ran their 50th anniversary special, hosted by Orson Welles. It included a large number of clips of NBC programmes, including one of Martin Landau (although neither of his main TV series were on NBC; Mission Impossible was CBS and Space: 1999 was syndication). NBC had to secure Landau's permission for the clip, and Landau would have confirmed it with ITC. The clip appears towards the end of the programme, in a compilation of cop shows.

The Pinewood postcode (zip code) is wrong- it should be SL0 ONH (there should be no dots between the characters).
