Ampex VPR2 one-inch videotape recorders in the background. Easily identifiable as they were the only model where the reels span in opposite directions.
2-2 .. United came back from 0-2 down. Stapleton’s dry spell finished in this match with both United goals. United won the later return at Maine Road and City were relegated on the final day. United finished 3rd.
Love this piece of broom cupboard retro, have you found any footage of 80's kids TV show: Erasmus Microman with Ken Campbell?? I last saw it on TV when Nick Pickard was on that programme: You Saw Them Here First in 2014! My friend did record it for me as had SKY TV and w as then ging to put it on a blank DVD for me but his dad deleted it by mistake 🙄 Can find some of other episodes on RU-vid but not all of them....
I quite liked Galloping Galaxies, (by Bob Block, following on from Rentaghost). I vaguely remembered enjoying Odysseus - told by Tony Robinson. Thanks for this clip.
This came out exactly when I was two-as it is on my birthday-I have obviously seen this before and repeats on TV documentaries etc My first memories is when I was onwards so June of 1984 onwards! I remember when I saw David Essex in the hit musical Mutiny in late in 1986-and remember begging my dad to take me when I saw the TV adverts for it + for the soundtrack + pics in Mags/reviews about it in papers, Teletext etc The 80's were such a great time-I don't suppos you have come across 80's kids TV series: Erasmus Microman with Ken Campbell-loved that!
This interview aired three months before the sad death of Lennard Pearce who played Grandad. Preparations were being made at this time for a new series of Only Fools and Horses which would air in early 1985.
Central would still opt out around 4am for Job finder and Asian programmes, This could be the first or second day they started taking NT feed from Carlton.
An interesting upload, thank you. Lovely to see Barbara Edwards forecasting the weather before the introduction of the more familiar weather symbols (August 1975, I believe).
Network announcers: Colin Ward-Lewis, Michael Stirrup and the recently departed Keith Martin. (RIP Keith, a cheerful and friendly announcer who was seen and heard across the television landscape for many years).
The music on the promo at 2:42 is Superstar by Keith Mansfield. YTV used this again a few years later with different promo graphics. The 'Turn to Yorkshire' campaign was accompanied by badges and window stickers which I picked up from one of their local offices!
I should mention that this was a DVD with chapter transitions at ridiculous places. Not saying that was one of them, but I couldn't rule out that being why it looks disjointed.
This is brilliant. It had everything! I was nine. And I remember the desiccated saga as if it were yesterday. If only people in Britain today could pay attention to spelling and grammar.
Left and right are out by a millisecond. That doesn't sound a lot but that puts a 500hz wave out of phase. In Audaucity split left and right to mono, normalise them and then find a spikey bit of waveform and line them up. Also, there is no point preserving stereo from a recording that wasn't stereo in the first place. Can't you get your VCR to pickup and output just basic mono, and maybe that will stop the crackling that is evident on other videos?
Bank Holidays on BBC - good memories 😊 When even the shortest holidays - May Day - had imaginative programming! Anyone remember those music compilation shows that were fronted by Noel Edmonds, then Mike Read? 🎶
