Default Yet more BBC Archive goodies

Sorry to keep banging on about this channel, but they do keep uploading excellent archive clips which will be of interest to the likes of us.

First a lovely piece from a 1972 edition of Nationwide with Michael Barratt chatting to John Snagge about early types of BBC microphone (can you imagine anything like this being broadcast today?)

Also a 1958 extract from Panorama with Richard Dimbleby introducing the experimental VERA video tape recorder. This has been shown many times before, but I have never seen this much longer version:

Good stuff!
