Hi,
a friend of mine (oddly also called Stephen Rogers - but probably not the MSR here) is looking for a copy of a film/TV series called Professor Popper’s Problem. It was made by the Children’s Film Foundation in 1973/74. It started Charlie Drake, and had other luminaries such as Todd Carty in it.

The reason I ask is that this was filmed at my primary school - we had film crews and cameras in the school, and the school, pupils and readers were in the background. So it’s likely that I’, in there too. My friend knows his sister is visible in a few places, which is why he wants a copy. He says he’s tried a few places, but with no luck, so I thought I’d help him with my search and ask in a few places. Any suggestions will be forwarded on to him.

There are a few small sequences on YouTube. Opening sequence and a few minutes here. I was there, off camera, watching that outdoors bit being shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQimrx7ugSo

Have you tried contacting the CFF or Mersey Film Productions directly?

Have you tried contacting Vic's Rare Films and others alike?

Thanks - I think he’s tries the obvious sources. I’ll pass on the Vic Pine site to him. He says he *may* have found someone with a copy, which is good news. He’ll let me know if he has.
