I suspect that when they were made, they were deemed worthy enough to be retained (at relatively little cost), but the crucial thing that Chris mentions is that in 1993, they weren't deemed worthy enough to go to the expense of transferring them. Let's face it, the object of the exercise was to phase out 2" tape as an active format, so presumably it was a choice between keep (ie transfer to digital tape) or not keep (ie chuck in the skip) - retaining on 2" wasn't really one of the options. Feel free to correct me on any of the above. Didn't all the 2" tapes end up being donated to the NFA? |

As I said, it appeared that the NFA was offered them but rejected them.
Puzzle Trail (1980-84) exists complete.

Puzzle Trail with Davy Jones of Monkees fame was made on 1" tape. I remember transferring one of them onto D3 & Digi-Beta tape as part of the 1" archiving project at TV Centre.

Well, the later editions of Puzzle Trail would have been made on 1". The earlier series would still have been on 2".
