Tim Curry and Annie Potts in a February 1988 TV interview promoting their new movie "Pass the Ammo," as both Dom Deluise and Wil Shriner pepper them with questions. Several minutes long, tho it looks like the last half minute or so got cut off. The BetaGems channel also has "Tim Curry Rock on the Block 2-19-89 TV performance," "Richard O'Brien Nov. 1995 late night TV performance & Intvw," "Rocky Horror 10th Anniversary late night TV special 1985," and "Annie Potts 1992 Pop Secret TV ad."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, old TV news segments, made-for-TV movies and documentaries, religious programming, variety shows, talk show interviews, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on RU-vid or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
