Saturday night television is really riveting nowadays, talent contests, reality trash, lottery games, You've Been Framed. Give me that schedule from 1974 anyday.

How was this video recorded? was it on VHS or another format such as VS2000, Phillips. Am fascinated.

Such was entertainment in those days, although is it any worse than the X Factor? Yes there was some almighty tripe around but this era produced some fantastic sitcoms, ITV wasn't Chav TV and we still had far higher standards of presentation.

ILR only really existed in the big cities and Luxembourg's reception was always terrible. Until ILR expanded again in the eighties, the BBC had a monopoly on the radio in two thirds of the country. I can still remember after 7pm when Radio 1 and BBC local radio closed down, only having three radio stations.

VCRs were around from about 73/74 I think - Umatic and Philips N1500 machines. Prior to that, you had reel to reel machines like the Sony CV2000 which were available in the late 60s.

Why does the screen go blank at 2.21 and 2.23 on the BBC News clip? Did somebody walk in front of the camera?

No, it's because it's at the end of my tape and the quality of the tape gets poor towards the end, so the picture rolls. The capture won't accept this kind of problem, so it just greys out the video whilst keeping the audio.

This video is quite rare! I presume it was originally recorded on U-matic tape. I know Keith Hamer (BBC Test Card Club) has a fairly extensive collection of 1970s BBC TV videos.

I've no idea what the original source would be, but a U-matic is as likely as any other format used in those days.
