I am so thrilled at the thought of seeing Marc Bolan and TRex again. Marc was my first teenage crush. Never expierenced that crush feeling before as a very young teenager. I am utterly thrilled at the prospect of seeing and hearing it all again. The day Marc was killed, it took my anguished Mother, hours to work up the courage to tell me. How sad. will never forget that day. We had just emigrated to Australia, I was so homesick, terribly lonely, missing my family, friends and UK lifestyle. The music in Australia at that mid to late 70’s was ‘different’ to what I was used to and added to my grief of leaving England. I used to play my TRex records so often that they are almost worn out. Still have them. Loving the glimpses shown so far. Keep up the good work! How will we be able to see and watch them after this labourious effort?? Thank you so very much!
Is there any chance that missing TOTP editions will see the light of day again on say BBC4? Clearly any recovered material needs to be seen by the public via the most accessible medium rather than being seen by only a limited audience or sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
I guess a lot of us here are hoping that some Patrick Troughton Doctor Who will be among this impressive haul. Probably too much to hope for! Anything from The Shadows or Marvin, Welch and Farrar would be welcome.
What a find! Credit to you guys for keeping up and knowing that there would be some gold in there. Reminds me of artists that paint over their work and then years later a masterwork is discovered
If you record them at a slower speed and then play them back digitally faster you may be able to squeeze some quality out... Have you tried the old tracking technique?
Excellent video. Looking forward to the results of this project. Well done! It's very difficult to even get playback of old open reel VT systems, nice to see the current results.
No, those are films made from a colour video signal to a black and white tv. Basically the people at the beeb were lazy and made copies with ugly noise on the image (that they could have filtered out but didn't) that luckily can be restored to colour.
Fantastic! I don’t actually think you should clean the recordings up too much though. The odd bit of line dropout, actually shows that the original source material was video tape and that it’s old! I’m not sure what digital format is future proof. 16mm filmed off a TV screen is the safest bet but far too costly. Happy new Year!
I was actually thinking the opposite. The output needs stabilising; DNVR & drop outs removed. The audio needs to be cleaned up as well. Upscaling maybe to improve their look as well. Anything to improve them as much as possible.
Lack of vert def. Looks like a Snell hacked to accept 405 with ext source maby Ctrl track pulse for lock hence 2/3 image and stretched in fcp.. Hmm rough to say the least..
I'm interested. How would you do it? Getting good quality video off these tapes is desirable isn't it? I don't know a enough about the techical aspects except that I believe CV2000 tapes aren't easy to play at all.
Bloody hell - find of a lifetime I would imagine. I'd love to see Lift Off.

Point is - will we ever actually get to see any of this?
First The Beatles 1966, now this ... what a fabulous find. Well done you guys x
Fabulous haul of classic tv - many thanks Kaleidoscope!

Not gonna lie I am ecstatic at this discovery
This is excellent! Well done to everyone at Kaleidoscope for your patience in converting and restoring these tapes! :-)
Superb work, love seeing the restoration processes. Looking forward to seeing the updates.

Excellent find Kal. Thank you to all involved
Wonderful! Fingers crossed for some Lift Off Bowie ;)
this is brilliant, great news! hoping for some Roy Wood, The Move or a rumored appearance of The Idle Race on Lift Off.
I heard about this find a couple of months back. Very exciting. Keep up the good work, Chris.
VERY exciting. Any 'SIXTIES Top Of The Pops, I wonder?
Great work. I'd like to see a more detailed techie presentation.

Loved to have come up to Birmingham university day of classic archive all day seminars but busy here Damn it 😡📺🎥🎬
Shame this wasn't figured out when that 1968 BBC Benny Hill Show still survived other than a camera to tv screen transfer.
fantastic !!
FANTASTIC!
Hoping for some Harry Worth :D
Incredible!!!!!
A veritable treasure trove.
Ive got some classic music stuff i bet on vhs store in loads of boxes
Any Thank your lucky stars in there?
Are all the tapes entirely monochrome? Even if that's the case is there any possibility of restoring colour, as with the Dad's Army episode?
No, those are films made from a colour video signal to a black and white tv. Basically the people at the beeb were lazy and made copies with ugly noise on the image (that they could have filtered out but didn't) that luckily can be restored to colour.

@@martinhughes2549 I'm not sure why they should be upscaled to 625, though, if they were recorded at 405.
I wonder if lost dad’s army episodes were there?
Wonderful stuff! Particularly curious about The Hollies.
Yes it could be an interesting clip with their European lead singer they had a short period.
Any missing BeeGees performances / solo appearances? I 'm hoping the performance of Railroad on Totp is found one day...

Were there any clips of Laura Nyro?
Have you found any missing Doctor Who?
Any doctor who
