Notice the 'rushes' are still in the negative format. These had to be processed onto another film to get the positive copy for transmission. Double the work......rush, rush, rush to get the still wet positive flying through the gate of the project! THEN some bright electronics "genius" realised if the electronics equipment had one extra valve amplifier it would turn the NEGATIVE signal into the POSITIVE signal ready for broadcasting. In a stroke, the original raw film could be used for transmission immediately. No need for a separate positive film to be made. Bingo! Film prosessing time reduced by 50%, costs reduced by 50% and oodles of cash save. Clever eh!
@@lukemitchell1975 Naa. As much as I despise them, I must also be fair, and history doesn't lie. The fact remains that from its beginnings nearly 100 years ago, BBC News was the source of comfort during the war years, not just to Britain, but round the world and that is how it picked up its respect worldwide in being the leading broadcaster of news next to PA. To be on the BBC was an amazing achievement and they strictly stuck to being informer and not judger. As a kid, CBBC was a thing as opposed today. I can name you a load of shows I watched on CBBC. Not to mention when they made efforts on shows rather than sneaking in diversity to make them look good as opposed to people getting parts based on their merit, how good are they at the job, examples would be when my family would watch Casualty, EastEnders (which should've ended years ago) and my favourite Noel's House Party. I know I digressed from news, but it must be a comparison. On several occasions through its history, have made gaffes in terms of impartiality (ask Greg Dyke what he felt like going through the machine for it being the Director General at the time) and they were publicly dealt with, with all the above being said where I defend the bastards, there was a time, not so long ago, in the last decade the BBC had become openly what we see today. It was a slow build from 2010 onwards and then Brexit happened and that blew the lid off. There are several people I would cut from BBC News starting with Naga Munchetty (waits for the racist chant) she is just so rude and an arrogance and either she is a good actor or Carol Kirkwood clearly won't be inviting her to dinner. This isn't a new thing. When I used to watch BBC News, especially BBC Breakfast, Munchetty would make sarcastic remarks before going to the weather or will start telling people the weather or making some quirk about how she personally got it wrong. Next would be what is sat next to her, he is so wooden and how anyone thought it would be a clever idea to be someone that helps you get up is also beyond me. INFACT, sack the lot. Sorry for my long rant but had to get it out.
