He did. No idea what they sound like. Interesting! Calling Mark Ayres.... I think that would only happen if there was a proposal for animation or a telesnap reconstruction. My view is that it’d be one of the first things to be done.

Agreed! I'm sure if John did do a tape of Marco Polo, Mark either knows of its existence or more likely has a copy of it safely in his audio archive. The audio of the 'Fury From The Deep' animation is partly patched with material recorded by John, so we know that the standard he achieved was good. After years of listening to the BBC CD version, it would be interesting to hear if John's version was superior.

Barry Hill created the Old-Radio Collectors Association because he only had an interest in radio, but he wasn't typical. He was unusual, from our point of view -- I mean, from the point of view of people who were kids when Dr Who was running in the Sixties. Barry was a good deal older than us. That meant he had grown up in a world where there was no tv. Before ITV was invented in 1955, the tv service didn't exist. What tv there was before that was mainly limited to London. So he developed his teenage interests with only radio to be interested in. I grew up in the Sixties, and there was a lot of tv about, and so I recorded a lot of it. Nothing worth mentioning: a lot of sci fi shows, all of which survived because they were on ITV (Thunderbirds, etc), or because they were American shows (Lost In Space, Star Trek, etc). I ended up with a lot of audio recordings of Bewitched, The Munsters, MASH. It isn't possible to make generalisations. Graham Strong was older than me, so he was recording tv in the mid Sixties. I had school friends who also recorded Dr Who, but no one ever was interested in audio tapes of Pertwee serials in the early Seventies. No one knew that tv of the Sixties would be lost forever, but that Seventies tv would survive. Lots of people taped tv soundtracks because VHS hadn't been invented. If Seventies tv had gone down the same black hole that swallowed Sixties tv, there would have been a lot of surviving tapes, but that never happened. But let's not have a rumour start up that no one was taping tv, just because those tapes turned out to be not needed and so got thrown away, instead of becoming collectable. Worth remembering that BBC TV started in 1936, though there was a break for WWII. My family had a combination TV/radio, which would have made it even easier to switch recordings!

Yep, it wouldn’t surprise me if Mark had copies of all the off-air recordings, digital storage is dirt cheap nowadays.

The safest hands is when it's in circulation and the most copies exist.
