Fairlight CVI (Computer Video Instrument) BBC 1985

i don't know what's more impressive, the special effects or her hair cut! ;o)

why does she keep referring to herself in the 3rd person! Classic though!

...just remembered the hammer bit as well on TW.

Mel Smith and Griff Jones took that bit off on one of their shows..."these new CD's are amazing - you can hit them with hammers, stamp on them, throw them across the room and you still can't get them out of the the case."

I remember that one (although I thought the bloke spread honey on it and then wiped it off). I remember thinking "how can that CD play with honey in the grooves?"

WOW! that was 1985... project natal 24 years earlier... looks awesome! shouldnt these be about 5 quid from a carboot by now?

heh, your a funny man .,... they dont cost as much as they did when they came out (dont know the price of this but the CMI did cost 100,000 australian dollars ) but you wont find it cheap ....say around 5000-> 10000 dollars depending on who owned it :) its still modern technology for 2010 and it was made in the 80's .

haha ye i was kind of praying that they would be £5 from a car boot. If i found one for that price or at all i'd probably cry. I bet there hard to program aswell.

Btw: the CVI was priced US$ 5400 in 1985. Rather cheap for a video effect box!

Maggie Philbin I think.....

Wow! Thats awesome! Still looks more futuristic than the stuff today :)
