"Death Line" 1972 (Film)
In message , Graeme Wall
writes It certainly went out live in the very early years, most BBC programmes did. According to ... http://www.relativedimensions.co.uk/newman.html it was recorded on videotape (which was indeed unusual in the UK back then). Almost certainly they would have used Ampex Quad machines, which the beeb were just starting to employ, following the failure of their own "VERA" video-taping system. I can't be certain if that URL is right, but it seems very likely - the quality of the early episodes matches the very poor reproduction of early Quads (nowhere near as good as film), and they would already have been committed to using recording for the title sequence and for the trailers (it was one of the very few programmes to have had trailers back in them days). -- Paul Terry |
