Re: New BVWS DVD
I have just spent an absolutely splendid hour or so on Friday evening - thank you, Jon and everyone else - a brilliant effort!
I, too, was wondering how they were going to put the dag inside the bowl without getting it on the screen! Low-tech solutions often work.

Re: New BVWS DVD
Thats the great things about these sort of films - they are educational. I always wondered how they coated the front of the screen. The GEC film was interesting too, was that a Scammell Scarab (A three wheel truck) delivering GEC TV's - if so it must have been a shop local to the factory !

If you join for this year you should get a copy (you could put a note on the form asking for one just to make sure). You will probably get some of the previous DVDs and CDs too, depending on which ones we still have copies of. Last edited by Paul Stenning; 25th Feb 2006 at 11:07 am. |

Re: New BVWS DVD
Just for Info, and response to Andi,
The DVD is a BVWS members benefit, and I'm sorry, it is not for sale. The Society make this point very clear to the original copyright holder and I am sure that this helps us when asking permission to use the material. If you decide to join the Society, you will get all of the CD's and DVD's that we have produced, sent to you at time of joining. We would be happy to gift the DVD to anyone who wishes to make a donation to a related registered charity, such as the "wireless for the blind fund", "The British Vintage Wireless and Television Museum", "HMS Collingwood Museum" etc. Mike...

Re: New BVWS DVD
I just watched my DVD and I found it fascinating. Jon did a great job sorting it out too. I wonder what people doing the Manufacturing lecture-options would make of it though!

Re: New BVWS DVD
Just a cheeky thought - could the BVWS make these available in 405 line format?
Cheers Sean

Re: New BVWS DVD
And here's an even cheekier thought. If we can get some sort of 405-line British heritage television service established on the internet in the near future, maybe a deal can be done with the BVWS to make such material available that way too...
