NZ Film at rubbish tips - a clip

[Jon Preddle]

I have found an online archived clip from 1969 from New Zealand TV in the old NZBC days showing old TV film prints being discarded at the rubbish tip.

Go to this site (presumably it will work outside of NZ):

www.nzonscreen.com/title/25-years-of-television-1985/overview

On the Clips Selection, choose 'clip 2' (the index picture actually shows the reporter standing in the tip!), and after it has loaded, go to 8m35s, and for the next min or so you'll see (partly staged) footage of films junked.

There's a lot to get through before we get to that brief clip of Ian Johnstone, Jon...

Do we have any volunteers to go to NZ and dig them up?

You can 'fast forward' through it, you know! ;-)

Yes, I know, but I didn't know what was in it or where it was so I watched all of it so as not to miss it...
