Many thanks for the tape details, but I’m afraid what I was after specifically was a log which was held by a member of the TCC which said which tape was played on which day rather than month, sorry if I sound a bit picky

No problem.  I'm not sure during those years that it was broken down by day unlike what they did for the later Ceefax broadcasts where they listed what time the broadcast started and ended and what what tape was used.  I'll dig out what other files I have that were downloaded from the TCC.  John_Fred may have further info on this but hopefully we can nail what you are looking for.

As far as I know, there are no known records of the, 'play lists', of tapes, (or parts thereof), as they were broadcast, prior to 2004.  I'm rather surprised someone took the trouble to document the ones that are available, to be honest, considering the time of day some of these tapes were played.  That's dedication for you!  If you give us a clue what it is you're looking for, specifically, we may be able to help.

I think whoever logged it probably recorded the transmittions, I certainly couldn’t live with that body clock lol. But basically, when I was looking through the archive emails of the TCC Yahoo group, I came across an email by a gentleman named John Flannery which had a log for the Time Kode airings 8/11/92 and 24/2/94, so therefore I assumed he would have logged the transmutations regularly if he did those two dates, if anyone could get in touch with him please, I’d be very grateful, thank you

I don't know about Flannery, but I know a certain someone by the name of Paul Sawtell may be able to help you out - he's on youtube, comment anywhere and he should be able to help you with some PasBs - maybe not from the 90s and 2000s, but definitely before then - he's a solid source of information from the start of music on tapes through to the mid-80s. And I should know, I got the PasRs for the 1959-1963 sequence from him.

I have complete logs of Ceefax Music played, times, dates, etc from 10th October 1988 on BBC-1 and from 20th November 1989 on BBC-2. So if the dates the Original Poster are still required then please let me know.
