The Mausoleum Club Forum

I had hoped to go to be in the audience when Angela was presenting (as I was for her "You can't take it with you" series) but, as you say, the present conditions prevented that.

I have a feeling I read that the digital TV system used here, though it could have supported it, unfortunately due to the way it has been implemented it now can't.

If I remember correctly (having watched these at the time of transmission) they seemed too much unlike Hugh & I and we wanted more of those, not what we were given, which didn't seem as funny. I also have a slight memory of seeing them both in Summer season at the Pier Theatre in Southsea, which was...

Very similar to what we were trained to do at the computer centre I worked at in the late '70s to early '90's, only our 1/2" tape (3M not Ampex) was in rigid plastic circular boxes.

At least with Fawlty Towers it was a case of stop when the ideas the writers were passionate about ran out and not prolonging it with new episodes just written to keep it going and people saying "it's not as good as it used to be".

I have also seen these on the top left of the picture when a film insert is coming up. Both are carry overs from the cues dots at the end of film reels in the days before platters and towers to show the whole film in one, to cue cinema projectionists to change over to the next reel on another projec...

Well the BBC have said that Eastenders was restarting "Filming" so they don't seem to mind. Of course they used the term "Telerecording" for both film and VT.

Watching the Cybernauts trilogy Blu Ray in her memory I was pleased that in the advert break in the New Avengers story Diana appeared in a British Airways advert.

As there are no off air sound recordings the audio over jumps can't be fixed as with spliced Dr Who prints and the missing frames interpolated, unfortunately.

The jumps were at the start and just before an advert break. I would suspect damage when the collector was projecting (bad threading of the projector at the start snapping the film and cement splices which lose at least one frame).

In theory magnetic tape would have a better frequency response and signal to noise ratio to optical film sound which would account for some difference. On the other hand I can tell the difference between location video sound and location film sound on film telerecordings so there must be more to it ...

Thanks for this, very interesting and good to know that ATV archive recovery is in progress. Kal guise doesn’t Even list a strand called A Play for Sunday, but you’re quite right, The Crib was an early evening number. Fellow poster Billy Smart usually knows what the BFI is up to and he brought to t...

With that first talk on the recovered body it could almost have been an episode of "Quincy ME".

I'd buy it!

"All the Web", as well, that got taken over by Yahoo, but I still have it bookmarked.

I agree about the sound a bit like the pressure pad keeping the tape on the sound head wasn't making good contact at times. At the end, at least it looked as id the picture was less than full screen height, but that could have been my TV being on "Full frame" not 16:9.

And me. What is interesting about Schweitzer is that Cartier went to the trouble of editing the telerecording to replace the telerecorded film sequences with the original film itself, which obviously greatly enhanced the picture quality (though made the difference in picture quality between studio ...

More likely the digital master made for the DVD than the actual DVD. I may have been easier to send that than a broadcast master, or maybe as usual it was send whatever was at hand at the time.

Luckily Rassilon didn't come back changed in a way we didn't have to say where did "She" come from. :-)

Perhaps they based the Panopticon on what they had monitored from BBC TV as it seemed to be a ceremonial only area. :-)

I was born in 1980 and my teenage years were 1993-99. The whole thing isn't helped by some acting as if the seventies and eighties are "recent" or "just yesterday". Who said that? A few years ago, there was surprise on these boards when someone on a quiz show hadn't heard of Sid James. To readily k...

AT present only 1990 is thirty years ago the rest of the 90's are less. 1999 is only 21 years ago! (And we still haven't lost the moon Space 1999 style).

Either Hartnell wasn't the first Doctor or the Master lied. I know which I find more probable!

Seems to be Create and Craft (Xtra?) TV at this time of day (9am) a shopping channel.

Two points. The "Gender Identity" idea would apply to a human, I know, but would it apply to a non-human race? We can't say. If living 900+ years it would be a very good idea to not carry on exactly the same after a regeneration as it would give a new enthusiasm for life to change and be coded into ...

Well Smokescreen is on one of the Renown Films Crime Collections sets, perhaps they are encouraging you to buy that.

I see they avoid saying "homo" for House of Multiple Occupation in Homes Under the Hammer, just HMO. I wonder if there are any out-takes where someone slipped up? :-)

I always thought in Casablanca it was "You played it for her you can play it for me. Play it" - with no name mentioned.

I wonder if anyone with non-Dr Who missing material is worried about a flurry of "You Don't have any Dr Who?", "If you have that you MUST have some" pestering from the psychotic part of fandom.

Also some have been treated badly in the past (no thanks and courier fees not reimbursed), or know others who have, so won't return on principle.
