The reason for the wiping of tapes at the time was that the old 2" tapes were incredibly expensive. We're used to cheap VHSs or DVDs now, but a 2" tape had to be used again and again.

Best "Saturday Banana" moment was when a little girl, reading a cue card, mis-pronounced "Grand Prix" as "grand pricks". When Bill gently corrected her, she said, "No, it says here: grand PRICKS!" to great guffaws.
