If there had been another edit, it would be an ED/ED. Would the ED/ED have been known as a 72 edit after 1978 when the new system of programme numbers was introduced? So the single /ED sufix at the end of the recording number on the electronic version of the VT Clock was the first edit of the programme? Although studio clocks were still used as VT ID's on transmission tapes in 1974, there was a longish transition to a more. Would there be a reason that a studio clock would be used as VT Id's for a transmission tape over the electronic version? This electronic version of the VT clock was introduced in 1972. The earliest I have seen the electronic version is from programmes recorded in 1972.

So the single /ED sufix at the end of the recording number on the electronic version of the VT Clock was the first edit of the programme? Correct. But in 1978, not after. The changeover to core numbers and version definitions was long overdue. The system was unwieldy. You would have a ridiculous situation where it would be hard to write the full recording number on the clock because there wasn't room. So in the case of Death to the Daleks lots of information had to be fitted onto the screen. Firstly the project number. This is a costing number. Then the recording number. The full number for this serial is VTC/6HT/89269/ED. Most programmes made in this way were /ED's. But if you went round again, it would be VTC/6HT/89269/ED/ED and so on. If a protection dub was made for TX it would be VTC/6HT/89269/ED/ED/D. As you can see with this clock, the editing assistant shortened the information on the clock to C/6HT/89269/ED to make it easier to write without cramming it. For those that don't know, VTC means colour videotape. 6HT means 625 high band tape recording. 90% of recordings in 1974 were 625 high band recordings so for the majority of programmes this was superfluous information. Would there be a reason that a studio clock would be used as VT Id's for a transmission tape over the electronic version? Sometimes it would depend entirely on whether some other editor was using the clock in the VT area, paperwork and spool numbers being king. The earliest I have seen the electronic version is from programmes recorded in 1972. I shouldn't have really called it an 'electronic' clock. It is actually a real clock with a camera pointing at it, but timed to the VT area. It could be selected as a source in the VT area. I suggest if you want to continue to discuss VT clocks and programme idents, you start a new thread on the forum. This has gone a little off-topic from 'The Georgian House. Entirely my fault of course.

Entirely my fault of course. No I am happy to leave it at that point, you have clarified on the main difference between edits and the information used by VT on the different slates/clocks and why. Thank you 👍
