Are those copies of The Ice Warriors known about? It would be good to know for certain if they were junked.

As Toby has mentioned immediately above your post, these copies were then recorded over - probably, as he says, within days of his watching them. |

Hi Toby,what was the quality of the playback like back in 1967?Was it a fuzzy mess or was it reasonably sharp?Intrigued to know what it was like back in those early days!

Such a shame they were taped over ! An incredible near miss and a rare example of an important off-air recording made in the '60's.Can you imagine how much revenue your recording would have generated over the years-video,DVD,missing soundtracks...?

Someone will be along soon who'll suggest peeling back VT layers to get at the original signal that went onto the tape. Even if we find out later that the reels have long been disposed of...

I love the way that a domestic recording wiped nearly 45 years ago is being described as a near miss..! |

Sorry,what I really meant is that years before Ian Levine approached the BBC and decade before the commercial release of Doctor Who on video,a member of the public managed to watch an entire story outside of its normal terrestrial transmission!But I suppose a near miss means that the BBC erased it,a miss would mean that it still existed!

Is this considered the earliest known example of recording an episode (or in this case story) off-air? |

Yesterday at 8:05am, jazcheema139 wrote `An incredible near miss '  ?? Erm.... the tapes were recorded over when the BBC still had their copies and The Ice Warriors was shown overseas later than this -so nothing incredible or near about it I'm afraid. Interesting to hear Tobys own recolections though as yes there have been murmurings about this for years. Certainly seems there was no intention of keeping the recording long term and it went the way of most off-air recordings of the time. I'm sure there were tapes of Cup Finals etc, made regularly then recorded over in due course. |
