    Besides being a great announcer, Peter Bolgar is also a thoroughly decent chap. I remember in the early 80s writing to him at the Television Centre asking him if he would mind sending me his autograph along with a couple of the other announcers. Weeks went by and nothing happened and I assumed he had forgotten about me. Then, one afternoon as I returned home from school, I found a thick envelope had arrived containing the signatures of the entire BBC tv announcing team, along with a letter apologising for the delay caused by the complicated rota system they had in place. A lovely man and still going strong I believe, though long-since retired.

    • @bdavebaldwin
      @bdavebaldwin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The difference with Grandstand was that someone was behind the camera moving from caption to caption. The noddy camera was motorised and responded to the announcers switches. The captions needed a light whereas the globe was Internally lit and this was included in the operation. If you see the BBC 1980s clock confusion video you can see an example.

    This is great video and does show how the studios camera was filming the mechanical globe (The Globe known i believe as the "Noddy Symbol" symbol, always wondered why, does anybody know). The BBC always use to use caption boards if there was a problem with the programme being broadcast and interrupt the transmission and show the captions instead with music and it was damed annoying at times especially if you liked a favourite programme or film, everybody use to moan and groan about it. Now-a-days the BBC very rarely breakdown during transmissions as everything is digital. The BBC had a certain class all of there own back then, not anymore sadly. The Mechanical Globes, Christmas or otherwise were a work of art i reckon. I've often wondered what company made them for the Beeb, it's a pity that no film was made showing how the Globes wee produced that would be very interesting to see.

    • @johnr6168
      @johnr6168 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Noddy (generally called Nodd by staff) was the name given to single pan and tilt camera arrangement, not the globe machine. The ability to tilt down (or up) looked a bit like someone nodding. The various captions were cleverly angled so that the alignment of camera and viewed caption didn't cause image distortion.

    If you lived in the 70s it was often looked at as a huge change from the post-war years. Yet this marvellous window into early 1971 shows how orderly society was back then,
    TV close down, at midnight: pubs closed at 11pm. three shifts for many workers, with pay differentials. And was the UK a healthy and happier place than it is today ?

    Looking at the clock, British television went to bed very early back then at 12.05am. In the states, ABC, CBS and NBC were all on air until at least 1am. Each had their own late night talk show - NBC had Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, CBS had Merv Griffin and ABC had Dick Cavett each on air until 1am.

It's just a cheap dumping ground for gambling teleshopping all night news etc and I don't see the point of it, if people want anything through the night, why don't they get it through an on-demand or streaming service, or record something on a PVR unit for later viewing?

      @@bdavebaldwin The BBC didn't cover world events on it's national terrestrial TV channels as it does today, amalgamating BBC World and BBC News together overnight to share resources and save on costs, opting out at 5.55am to split the feeds so BBC World doesn't carry BBC Breakfast from the UK, which overseas viewers outside the UK who don't pay the BBC licence fee aren't officially entitled to receive due to broadcast copyright issues, except with an historic agreement to carry BBC programming on cable to subscribers in the Benelux countries close to the UK, which have been carrying BBC 1 (London) and BBC-2 (National) for years, and they still do today.
      Some viewers of a very restricted area to North West Europe, from the Astra 2 satellites via 28.2 degrees East on the heavily restricted UK only spotbeam, can, with a suitable sized dish and FTA satellite receiver, pick up UK TV services, which unofficially, they aren't entitled to receive.
      As you go further across the continent, away from North West Europe, the UK TV channels delivered via Astra 2 @ 28.2 degrees East through the UK spotbeam rapidly disappear.
      This prevents broadcast rights having to be paid for the whole of Europe, which is what would happen, if the BBC used Astra 2 European beam capacity, to illicitly transmit it's UK only programmes to the whole of Europe.
      Programme makers, movie studios, and film catalogue / archive programme back catalogue owners make money from international film and programme sales / distribution and wouldn't be happy for their output to be broadcast to Europe unrestricted, but I think this is sour grapes, because Talking Pictures TV, That's TV UK and the defunct Forces TV did just that, and the former two still on air, still do this along with Challenge TV (old gameshows).
      Older re-run programming apparently, doesn't attract as higher royalty fees, as much more modern programming and films demand, or do require.

      It made more sense before digital TV, as well. ITV were criticised for having different stations operating at the weekends, back when they did that. The alternatives are 24h operation or leaving radio spectrum simply unused some of the time, which would be rather wasteful. Besides, no PVRs back when 24h was being established as the norm (and VCRs were not as simple to use). Streaming might even kill rerun farms eventually, though.

      It was filmed in early February 1971 for a programme shown on Wednesday 18 August 1971 at 16:55. That day was a baking hot day in the UK and knowing sensible children would be outside at this time the BBC shovelled out as many repeats and cheap programmes they could find.

      @@bdavebaldwin They may have used the faster anthem for better sound and tonsave time. The slow version may have been considered sombre, and may have been used for royal deaths. I remember coming across a closedown recorded on the day of Walis the Dutchess of Windsor's death in 1986; they used the slow anthem that day.
