BBC2 Breakdown 1982

Just when today's Saturday Cinema has us on the edge of our seats, the film disappears! The Temporary Fault caption is soon on screen and David Allan apologises for the break. There's no quick fix - the film needs to be transferred to another projector. As visuals switch to the programme slide, two familiar tunes keep us entertained

the Temporary Fault caption is scary

[northernanorak]

They say the BBC dumbing down is a recent thing - calling a telecine machine a "projector"!

The temporary fault slide would have been fixed to a number of different slides what's known as the NODDY system where a camerea with coloured lens could point to a number of screens on a wooden frame and use it, the BBC revolving globe would have been another!

Look it up it exists!!!!

Somebody didn't hilariously check the reel at all!!!!

I would think that the telecine machine is just a fancier projector..

My Chemical Romance does a nice job covering it on their first album.

The following piece, "Windmills Of Your Mind" was actually used on the Baby, I'm A Want You tape which was still in use at the time.

The song is  "Romance Anonimo"
