Hello everyone,

I am new here, and I'm sorry in advance if my english is not perfect (I'm french).

Showcase was an Australian talent quest show that has been aired between 1965 and (I think) 1978. It was a Crawford production, and I've been looking for years for an episode of Showcase '74 that has been aired on 25th June 1974 where my dad performed a song with his friend. My father is named Rainier Derhbecourt and his friend is called Gail Lane. The song is called "Le départ" (The depart) which is sung half in english half in French.

Clues

Papers and clues from the show

I have two letters from the show with details on it.

Broadcast date and videotaping date of the letter my dad received from the show

The first one is about the application to the show. And the second one is more interesting because it's from the production of the show. We have more details on this one. We can see the airing date, the name of the producers and some others things.


Audio witness of the lost episode


When the show aired, my dad recorded it with an audio cassette in front of the TV. This is the only witness to the song my dad performed with his friend on that show. We can hear the host introducing my father and his friend, and then the song itself. The end of the audio is the audience applauding. Unfortunately I can't upload it here because the file is to heavy.
