The first half inch reel to reel machine looks like one of the Philips LDL 1000 series,and the other looks very similar to the Sony CV2100ace which was widely used in London schools in the '70s except that it is mounted in a larger case with the monitor at one end. This was one of the few machines which could record 405 line material. While at college I actually did this from an old dual standard receiver/monitor.

Television was invented by a ''guy '' called John Logie Baird .......

I meant V2000 - no-one has ever heard of it.
Betamax was incredibly popular here (only an elite few here in britain know about V2000). I presume you mean on mainland Europe that Betamax wasn't very popular.
-
Betamax never was popular in Europe.
In Europe we had V2000 which was quite popular here, but the particular model shown here had a desasterous flaw. A cheap plastic connector tended to break, sending the machine into a "self destruct" mode. Otherwise tape manufacturers just weren't up to providing propper tape.

Pity they didn't show Betamax in more detail Betamax and got their facts wrong re: the V2000 formats - virtually no-one even today has heard of it!!!

Do you mean the small toy projection television set?

When will we see the rest of the programme?
It would have been nice to see more of the Philips N1500 video recorder (the one with the wood base on the left).
I purchased one of these in 1974 for £400. One could only record 1 hour max - so feature films had to be split between two or three cassettes - at £22 a throw! Big money in '74!
I donated my N1500 to the Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford, UK, some five years later.

Sadly, this is all the video I have of this Blue Peter episode. It was sent to my for inclusion in the APTS Archive, by an engineer who provided the Bush TV22 and the Baird Televisor you see in the programme.
