This may be from 1981; The music here 0:33 was also used in an advert for Andrex in '81 and was written by Jeff Lynne, I believe. From what Peter Lewis says that would tally. And, Cheryl Campbell 7:54 was in an LWT series called "Seven Dials Mystery" that was shown March 8th, 1981.
Fascinating video, as these old training tapes always are. Those Marconi Mk9s always seemed to have a very subtle blue cast, or something not quite in balance to their pictures. It was the same with those at TVAM and the replacements at Granada.
David Vorhaus - Sea of Tranquility from 1980 KPM, and Robert Powell did the Andrex voiceover. I thought the best video effects from LWT were done by a device called Harry during 1987 etc.
@@dareks8000 yep, I know why they did it, but it's still the funniest thing I've ever seen ... just think what that lot would be like today with computers making all the cuts ...
I still miss the clunk generator - it was great. Meant you didn't have to constantly check return looking for a shot change, just wait until you hear the clunk then check.
@@jahno7154 If you’re thinking of TISWAS, that was ATV. I don’t think either Saturday Scene or Our Show (both of LWT’s 70s Saturday morning efforts) had custard pies. LWT didn’t bother making Saturday morning kids shows in the 80s.
@@stickytapenrust6869 I'm not gonna argue with someone who is well informed as you brilliant. I should've known Tiswas was a from the Midlands I must admit
London Weekend Television is currently re-equiping it's production studios with new cameras and vision mixers. The old EMI 2001Cameras are being replaced with Marconi Mark 9 Cameras. And the existing Central Dynamics Vision Mixers are being replaced by Grass Valley Series 300 Production Switches. It must be said that both the old cameras and vision mixers have served the company well in the 12 years since LWT produced it's first colour programme in 1969.
@@dareks8000 where these the original 2001’s transferred from Wembley or later replacements? I ask as there is an episode on YT of Supersonic 1975 where Alvin ‘Santa’ Stardust asks the gallery crew what presents they got and one replied ‘new cameras’. Fascinating video though.
@@yellowbelly06They were from Wembley. The 2001 was no longer for sale when South Bank opened in 1972, having been superseded by the 2005 in 1970. No broadcaster would dispose of those early colour cameras at just 3 years old, given the huge expense they had in buying them and having them installed.
