Default Re: BBC website obsolete technology that's not.

According to Wikipedia, VHS was developed in the early 1970s, released in Japan 09-09-1976 and USA 23-08-1977. No mention of UK.

It would appear from the same article that manufacturing did end in 2016 - so Mike's VCR clock was spookily prescient in its date limit!
