I wonder if this method of filming was attempted by others around that era, or did innovation move along so rapidly that it was out of date in a blink of an eye. Regardless, the story you’ve unearthed is very interesting.
That's a good question...it was a labor-intensive process, that's for sure. And yes, it's a really interesting story - and given we've just learned they filmed a second pilot? It will continued to get even more so. Thanks for reading!
Do any copies survive? Certainly - it's where I got the photos of David, Jim, Ruth and Andy at the bottom of the article (the ones with their names on the screen with them - David's says, "Tyler.")
Available to view? Nope, sorry - I'm afraid not. All of the material is copyrighted by the BBC (even the original pilot shouldn't be out there!), and these are copies from Jim's personal collection he's been very kind to share with us.
Testing
It's working!

OK so my burning question is where is that documentary? Do any copies survive that would be available to view?
