In 1986 I was in Australia to see Halley's Comet.
Patrick Moore was on the trip and I recorded him being interviewed by Australian TV at the Parkes Observatory.
I have the recording I made at the time and wondered if this was remotely of interest to anyone. This shows him being interviewed and is not what the TV crew recorded.

This is all news -- do you know for what channel/program/if this was broadcast?

Sorry I don't know the channel or programme name. My assumption is that this was just a news broadcast and therefore probably a local news station.

Glenn - I would hazard a guess that many here would find your recording of interest! Have you digitised it? - the National Archives of Australia might wish to have an archival copy of something like this.

Hugh; yes, I have digitised it. It is part of a 53GB 4 hour long video. The relevant section as an MP4 file is 111Mb in size but if it was any use and someone wanted the original file to do something better with that would be fine too.

You might want to PM Paul Vanezis here as he knew and worked with Patrick Moore -> see 6th post down in this thread: missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/8105/patrick-moore-ripIf you wanted to share the 'relevant' section somehow, I for one would have a look at it. Also, after rereading your first post, I realise that you were visiting Australia, so if you are in the UK perhaps the National Archives or British Library would be a better archival site. |
