This short clip has recently emerged on youtube unfortunately, it seems the whole episode was wiped. Apparently, the whole routine lasted about two minutes and included an interview with JMJ.

Thanks for that Phil. I was led to believe that the BBC didn't show the last two TOTP's because of the controversy surrounding the host Jimmy Saville ....

As far as I can see they only missed one episode and that is the one that was wiped. Incidently, this was hosted by 'Kid' Jensen and not Jimmy Saville. Given that video recorders were pretty rare in the 70's it's possible but unlikely that there's a copy of the whole showing hiding in someones attic.

Tonight's programme used Oxygene Part 4 as the chart run down music at the beginning. The DJ (Ed Stewart) pronounced it "Oxy - Gene" ... of course he did. Then again so did Simon Bates during Docklands :-)
