Lance,
It looked to me like the standard color version (with the intermittent rainbows and color loss) that has been floating around for years - but I only looked at a small section...
Also - this person is violating BBC copyrights by posting it ...

Oh the horror of someone violating BBCs copyright, the most careful archivists known to man.

I did not think posting video clips on youtube was infringing against copyright ? If so, that is not good at all. However, it is neat to get to see what the material looks like in full. As there were clips shown on the reconstruction feature at the end of the BBC Ambassadors VHS release. If the footage disappears, at least we got to see it.
Did anyone check out those other BBC shows and ITV shows the chap posted ? They are way neat, I like the 1961 edition of Palladium, that looks like it would of been a fun career, and show. At any rate, I hope everyone enjoyed this footage.
Lance.

I did not think posting video clips on youtube was infringing against copyright ? As well as prohibiting such material to be sold, copied, hired etc. there is also a prohibition on broadcasting/public showing of material released on Video/DVD etc. This includes (by definition) posting said material on the net.

GH: What you say is irrelevant. It's their property. They can do whatever they want with it. Posting it on YouTube is a violation of copyright - full stop.
It's almost like saying that it's o.k. to walk into a store and steal some sneakers because they use slave labor in China. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

Sounds like that copyright is indeed a very prominent issue. Infringing on copyright is not ok. However I was under the impression that videos on youtube were added in a public domian. However, I can see where that is ok, and when rights are truely being infringed on. I guess I am wrong on that Richard. I was just under that mis information that I was given, my mistake. However if you re read the rest of my posting :
I did not think posting video clips on youtube was infringing against copyright ? If so, that is not good at all.
As you can see, I stated that it is not ok, or good at all to infringe on legal bounds. Please read all I have to say before making conclusions.
Lance.

The fact was that until yesterday you didn't appreciate that posting BBC material on the internet without obtaining permission is breaking their copyright is what surprises me. The fact that you agree with it *after* you've been told about it is neither here nor there! Richard

Some of us here make (or attempt to make) our living by creating films, television programmes, TVCs, promotional videos etc. Such material is *our* intellectual property and NOT public domain. (Intellectual property only enters public domain when copyright expires without being renewed - as happened in the case of 1950s US series "One Step Beyond")
When others take it into their heads that it is okay to steal (that is - take, use or distribute) said material it takes our earnings away from us. We have families to feed too...
...And before anyone gets mentions Hollywood paychecks - that is the exception rather than the rule. Most of us have a tough enough job fighting to compete for our paychecks. Not many make squillions in this industry - we're like any other small businessperson; passionate, hardworking and broke.

Definitely agree Bevan. I did not know about One Step Beyond though, interesting. Anyway, I hope we can all move along to a lighter tone of this subject. For example, might the chances of missing Dr.Who material being posted on ebay or you-tube good or bad ?

For example, might the chances of missing Dr.Who material being posted on ebay or you-tube good or bad ? Lance Highly unlikely, I'd say. As I understand it, missing 'Who' offered on eBay has always turned out to be a hoax. And I can't see anyone posting missing material on youtube, where it can be viewed for free. If they knew it was rare footage, they would probably either contact the BBC or try to make some money from it. If they didn't know it was missing, why bother putting it on the internet? To be honest, I think people are expecting too much from the internet when it comes to missing 'Who'.

Have you tried to contact the poster, Boise Boy? Might be worth it if this stuff isn't in the archives(is it) )

Wright:
Have not tried yet to contact the poster. Also, this material looks like the known color domestic Betamax recordings. There were other vintage and rare UK TV clips on his video log. Wonder what other rare material he might posses?
Lance.
