[MOCK] Widescreen ATV Today 1976 Titles (for Roddy Buxton) v2

[bbctim123]

Hi Jeff, Wonderful as this is, I think you may have overlooked something. I remember the white bars rolling down the screen as pictures, not white bars - think they were there for overlay purposes...the last bars faded into the live studio.

But I just love what you do - truly awesome, so creative. Long may you continue!! Tim

@bbctim123 Lovely to hear from you - I love your channel! I knew about the white bars (Roddy Buxton had told me what they were for), but there were two reasons I didn't do anything with them. First my aim was simply to recreate Roddy's film transfer in widescreen. Secondly, I have never seen a recording of things keyed onto the white bars so I would really want to see an example before I did that. If you have a recording of stuff being keyed where the white bars do I'd love to see it.

@bbctim123 Good to hear from you too Dave!

Sadly, I have no such recording, just ever weakening memories...from what I

gather the VT archive of ATV today is quite pitiful but at least we have

the film insert...

Equally, I've drawn a blank on finding VT of the BBC Midlands revolving 'm'

on the drum, but I have found others who remember it, which is re-assuring!

I saw the thing in presentation at Pebble Mill as a teenager, stunned by

it's naffness, and how good it looked on screen!
