Hi,
I've just uploaded an article on WIPED about the sorry state of the BSB archives and the work being done to recover lost shows.
Here's the blurb, with the link to the feature beneath:
FOR A BRIEF but brilliant moment at the dawn of the 1990s, a new broadcaster emerged with the promise of high quality, high brow and high fidelity programming beamed down direct from the skies.
BSB offered UK viewers original content across five homegrown channels, providing an important TV platform for future household names such as Alistair MacGowan, Chris Morris, Armando Iannucci, Steve Coogan and Chris Evans.
Sadly, as TV historian Ian Greaves has discovered, precious little remains of the BSB archives. Together with the assistance of classic TV research organisation Kaleidoscope, Ian is slowly piecing together the fate of BSB material, seeking to recover as much of it as possible.
WIPED recently caught up with Ian to talk about his project. You can read the feature here: wipednews.com/features/the-happening-recovering-the-lost-bsb-archives/
If you have any recordings of BSB material then Ian would like to hear from you. You can email him at: bsb@kaleidoscopepublishing.co.uk
