80th Anniversary of BBC TV preview

[ppppenguin]

This is a preview of the programme that I helped to make. Don't know if I'll be seen on screen.

The actual broadcast is on 2nd November on BBC4

Tcikets sold out first day they were put on sale (Tuesday 4/10). I 've been told that more may be made available tomorrow or in a few days. I suspect they'll move it from the small screen 3 to the larger screen 1.

Managed to get a complimentary ticket in the end.

All in all a good programme. Perahps a few points that could be disputed by the experts but the story is generally well told and adequately accurate.

I'm seen and heard on screen for about 10 seconds in total.

Transmission date still not fixed. Some are saying 2nd November, other 4th November.

There's a Royal Television Society meeting about the 80th anniversary on 9th November. It's open to all, not just members:

There will also be a talk at Ally Pally on the afternoon of Wednesday 15th November given by Norman Green. Again on the 80th anniversary. Don't know the ticketing arrangements for this but if you're interested I'll find out.

AFAIK it's BBC4, 2nd November 8pm. But I could be wrong.

I doubt that I'll be going to this event at Ally Pally on the evening of 2nd November:

Presumably set up at Cambridge University. Looks like it's had a coat of paint since the programme was made. The 60 line pictures don't look anthing like as good as I remember.

Arrgh. Why has the BBC website so many videos rather than "Cap" and time friendly web pages with text and photos?
Mostly I can't watch web video due to cap, but also I find videos often too time consuming vs the actual content, unless I want entertainment, in which case I use DVD or Broadcast.
