Mr Hoover, thanks for the info. I'll need to take a look. I know about the slow scan. Conversion to fast scan was optical. Camera pointed at monitor stuff. The first colour footage fom the moon was (I think) Apollo 12. The camera used a single tube and colour wheel. Like the short lived 1948 CBS system. A compact 3 tube camera just wasn't possible back then.
Alan, some of the material looked very good on the Imax screen.Some of it didn't. That's inevitable. Just good that we've got this footage at all.
I managed to bag a couple of (free) tickets for this event with James Burke.

It's possible that Ruth might not be able to come with me so if anyone is interested and available on the day please let me know by PM. Not making any promises. Getting in to these BBC events is a bit of a faff. The ticket doesn't guarantee admission. You have to turn up fairly early, wait in the queue and get processed. Never yet failed for me at things like the News Quiz recordings but did get turned away last year from BBC Maida Vale where they'd overbooked heavily.
