Re: Wearite tape recorder?
I didn't see this episode (I'll probably watch it this evening on BBC3) but I've certainly heard of Wearite tape recorders. I agree they wouldn't have been around in 1940 though - there were wire recorders at that time, but most recording used disc recorders (as used by BBC reporters for many 'live' wartime reports).
I must admit to getting a bit annoyed about lazy unnecessary anachronisms like this, especially in a series watched by many children. It's much worse than, say, showing a DAC90 in a wartime scene.
Best regards, Paul
