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 audio only.

James Burke: 6 November 1973
Просмотров 3287 месяцев назад
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.
Paul Eddington: 1983
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 года назад
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.

Diana Rigg - May 1978
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.3 года назад
In May 1978 Diana Rigg (1938-2020) opened the Imperial College Summer Fete. And afterwards she chatted briefly about her career. I've left in the small amount of preamble just before the interview actually started. It's sheer luck that this interview survives and I found a copy, tucked away on a compilation tape. The quality is poor (with lots of tape drop-outs) and of course in black and white...

Coinciding with the arrival of colour television on BBC1, ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ made its début on Television on October 5, 1969. To celebrate that fact, here is the final interview I have with a Python member, Terry Gilliam. And I thought it fit to release it today. In 1985, the film Brazil had just been released and Terry Gilliam came to the TV Studio to chat about that and many other...

    God how I *hated* Legs & Co. Absolutely hated it when they came on. Can't get the group/singer? Legs & Co! No music video available? Legs & Co! The cop-out solution to fill three or four minutes. I'm sure the girls were lovely, but the dance routines always seemed super-naff, the costumes were awful...just BAD all round. If I were straight, maybe I'd have enjoyed "ogling the girls", and I guess if it had been a bunch of hot guys I might've enjoyed it at least a little bit. It's nice to hear how well-spoken everyone was back then. England certainly went downhill since those days. Thanks for uploading - even though I never enjoyed them at the time, I love seeing this stuff now.

    I remember the day I got a call whilst working at a garage in Wimbledon. The voice on the other end of the phone asked about getting his car booked in for a service. I thought for maybe two seconds, and asked if it was David Essex. It was indeed. He came in the following day. Of course I already knew him, and was a great fan. I was into racing bikes at the time too, so we had a great chat. He was indeed a very nice laid back bloke to be with. That was one of many interactions I had with David. A laid back genuine bloke. Nothing like a lot of the so called stars ✨ of nowadays. Thank you so much for sharing this video. 👍

    Rather frightening animation at the beginning - Proteus meets Bozo the Clown. And why is the precocious one insisting that Terry-Thomas is "typecast"? He may have been, but why does Clever Youth twist his arm over it? "Do you wish you'd been able to play different characters?" Why not give Terry-Thomas an opening to speak extemporaneously, instead of micromanaging the interview? - Well, too late now.

    Chrisopher Stauli who played Alan in the spin off of Rising Damp said that his lowest point was when he was working with Leonard on the film. He believed Leanard resented him and that his sadness and frustration of Alan's passing was directed at him and so making it difficult during the filming. Irrespective of whether fellows actors had a pretty tough time with him, I always enjoyed watching Leonards performances.
