This clip is great. One gets the feeling that working on the Pops was a heap of fun.

Did you work for the Beeb at that time? How did you get your hands on the footage?

[hmullan]

Really excellent video! Thanks for posting. It is great to be able to hear the director going through the queues for the TD. This was probably grabbed by someone rolling tape at the time. What type of tape would this have been on? Would it have been 1 inch?

@hmullan - two inch Quadruplex in those days.

It's not really an out-take. Out-takes are edited out of the footage of the recording. This is someone taping the technical rehearsal of the show, keeping the tape in the attic and then years later putting onto You Tube for us to enjoy.

how do these 'out-takes' get into the public domain.It's a mystery to me but good to see.Thanks for posting
