Tomorrow's World

[paulcooksley]

Just read this on 'Wikipedia' - now I know that you sometimes have to take what is written on there with a very large dose of salt, but is there any truth or info known about this statement:-

"Virtually all the 1970s and early 1980s episodes only survive in their complete form because a viewer recorded many episodes on an early video recorder (a Philips N1500) and made his tapes available for copying during the early 1990s."

[John Green]

Someone asks the same question on the second page of this thread: missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/7651/bbc-tv-tomorrows-world but they didn't seem to get an answer!

Reply (slightly edited) from the BBC:- ""There are very few complete programmes until the 1980s, before that however we have a very large number of film items (being live, it wasn’t generally recorded except by BBC Wales as they showed it at a different time, and they re-used the tapes). Motion Gallery’s information would just be taken from the main library system. It’s such a long-running programme it would be difficult to give a precise figure for what existis without a lot of research""

So, basically most of the filmed reports survive from the first 15 years, and then complete editions from 1980, with the exception of a few editions (marked with a 'J') that do not exist in any shape or form.

ALL THE INFORMATION IS FROM tvbrain.info.

[Sue Butcher]

Even if we can't see them, it would be nice to have a synopsis of the early programmes. The Radio Times isn't any help apart from some of the themed editions. I'd like to know the date of "population explosion" episode in particular.

[williammcgregor]

I used to love this programme it was such a part of my childhood.....can still recall that stunning theme tune. I'll have a look through newspapers at the library.

[Peter Stirling]

I think the theme was by John Dankworth?

We use to watch complete editions on the school 16mm projector but cannot remember what they were now.

I wonder if they still have them after all these years probably binned. On the subject of watching films at school we had a similar thing but I think it was mostly public information films i often wonder what happened to all the films etc that schools use to show years ago there may well have been some gems amongst some of them.

[Mark Tinkler]

Alot of them may have been from the old 16mm film libraries like Harris Films and Glenbuck who have long since gone - though believe Harris which became Glenbuck was then taken over by the BFI...

But I daresay even Local Education Authorities may have had films like this to loan...

Just in case you haven't heard, David Filkin, who was Editor of TW for many years, sadly passed away last weekend. David was head of Science and Features, and you may also have seen his name on many programmes, including QED and Bodymatters.

It's interesting to note the concerted effort to keep TW co-incided with the move to 1" VT.

I'm sure that was the catalyst for many other programmes too, and news of course.

Presumably its smaller footprint, in terms of tape spools AND VTRs meant it became viable to store more AND viable to have more machines (ie before then, with say, 2x2" VTRs in use for a live show to play inserts, it would be considered too extravagant in equipment, tape and labour to use a third to record the final output).

[Paul Vanezis]

There is quite a bit more material surviving from Tomorrow's World.

But the reason for later material surviving and earlier material not is more related to how the programmes were made and then broadcast. The earlier shows were mostly broadcast live with film inserts and VT inserts for the more complex studio items.

Not every live show was recorded by the BBC.

There are quite a few film recordings of complete shows, although not all are in the BBC archive so they won't appear on lostshows.

[Sue Butcher]

Was Tomorrow's World sold overseas as complete programmes? I don't remember it being shown in Australia, though we did get Tomorrow Today, and the locally made imitation Towards 2000.

[garygraham]

Does everything exist from the beginning on 1990 onwards? I'm amazed so much of this has survived really.
