This is great stuff, I got a copy in my tape trading days back in the '90s, and it was really exciting seeing continuity of this vintage. Not sure why the BBC decided to preserve the continuity of the first evening on BBC 1 in colour, and then only in b&w (not set up with colour film for such things I suppose), but I'm glad that they did.
The only let down of this tape is that it didn't contain footage of the first night of colour TV as written on the label, but the seller did say they hadn't checked. That would have been a very satisfying find.
@@80sandretrogubbins25 Ah yes, I can see why that would be disappointing...I can't recall now how it was described to me when I got a copy, but it wasn't like that . Good work with your ebay finds, I've never really looked on there for this kind of thing!
@@appropriatedsubdiffusion9260 This was from the seller's final tape, though I have got in contact with someone else who might have some interesting stuff. By the way, I've noticed some of the stuff I've been getting can be seen on the intriguing channel called The EJHearn archive.
