Note
There is some debate over if this is the recording of Lena Zavaroni as broadcast or if it is a camera rehearsal recording made prior to the live broadcast until the BBC use the footage in a Top Of The Pops retrospective and confirm one way or the other we will each have to decided for ourselves what we are seeing in the clip.
Either way this is believed to be the earliest surviving clip of Lena performing (for a broadcaster).
Note: I added "for a broadcaster" because we don't know if her family have any super 8 film recordings of Lena Zavaroni prior to Opportunity Knocks.
