IBA Transmitters Visit January 1973
On the 31st January 1973 a group of students from Imperial College London visited the transmitter sites of the IBA. The students were all members of STOIC, the Student TV service from the college. At that time London still had the original 405 line black and white TV service as well as the relatively new (1969) colour 625 line service. Croydon was the 405 line transmitter and Crystal Palace was the 625 line transmitter, both of which were toured. You will hear some 'vision buzz' on audio.

This video is part of the interview with James Burke recorded at Imperial College London. Until now, the interview was only held on the Master (inaccessible) Ampex Type A format videotape. However, during a recent digitising of U-matic videotapes, I discovered the last section of the interview that had, at some point, been copied over to a U-matic videotape. So here it is (well, part of it anyw...
Legs & Co: June 1980

On 10 June 1980 we all went along to the BBC rehearsal studios in London to have a chat with Legs & Co. At the time they were dancing on the BBC's flagship music programme Top of the Pops, every Thursday evening. This is the footage, (un-cut) as shot by me on the day. David Ghani was asking the questions. This was recorded on Low Band U-Matic format tape.

In 1983 Ian Cameron interviewed actor Paul Eddington (1927-1995). Sadly, for some reason, this interview was never edited. I've found this short extract from the interview and this is all that now remains, with the original master-tape now missing! This was another recording that I've struggled with to correct the colour.

In May 1978 Diana Rigg (1938-2020) opened the Imperial College Summer Fete. And afterwards she chatted briefly about her career.

The quality is poor (with lots of tape drop-outs) and of course in black and white...

    How'd you know he was going to die in 2020 in 2016??? Wow! This channel is witchcraft... But I do really like Geoffrey very much. He has (present being on film always) a grace and underestimated sense of comedy. Reminds me of older men when I was very young in my life - like my uncle. Educated men with wit and wisdom. Quiet and quick.

It is amazing that all over the world, everybody agrees how beautiful she is, or was. I for one will never forget going to the movies in 1976 as a 15 year old and being just blown away by her and this was the era of farrah fawcett who was the goddess of boys right? farrah was in this movie but she did not compare to Jenny, not even close. Also loved her in the eye of the needle

    I was in the Service when this movie came out. Didn't watch it until many years later. The acting is very good, especially Prochnow. He gave his character quite a bit of depth. You could feel the sense of disappointment or elation coming from the Skipper. Funnily enough, I was in Submarine School when this movie was in the Cinema. This movie is right up there with any of the Submarine flicks.
