Lost 1960s TV and Radio - Invidious

Lost 1960s TV and Radio

The 1960s - Full of fun, fashion, pop and wonderful TV and radio.

If only the BBC and ITV had kept more of their programmes in the archive!

Sadly, 1960s television shows were regarded as disposable and of no long-term interest at the time.
Besides, many shows were broadcast live and, for those that were recorded, studio-quality videotape was extremely expensive for cash-strapped broadcasters. Hence they were wiped!

Domestic video tape recorders became available in 1965 but only the very rich could afford them and the tapes were not intended as keepsakes.

Fortunately some shows were recorded on audio tape by viewers.

I've found a few programmes in my collection of reel-to-reel audio tapes. Some were recorded by my father and some by my great-grandfather. Some are of a reasonable quality, some are not.

Regardless I'll post some of them here for you to listen to.

Come with me now on a trip into the past and enjoy the 1960s (and early 1970s) once again.
