Again it is good of the BBC to show these rare clips and to even show material without sound. How do the two get disjointed? If a programme was shot on 16mm film, the soundtrack would be recorded separately and then edited alongside the picture on a separate magnetic film To eliminate confusion, I should add that this was not necessarily the case. There were two ways of recording sound on 16mm: the double-system, which you have described, and the single-system which recorded sound 'live' onto the film as it was being shot. The latter was used particularly heavily in newsgathering and situations where filmmakers wanted to minimise their processing costs.

IIRC some of the existing Quatermass telerecordings only have the sound on film, as the seperate sound elements have been lost over the years.
Is this also true for some Dr Who episodes.
