  • Recovering Historical Film Footage by Processing Microtomographic Images
    Recovering Historical Film Footage by Processing Microtomographic Images Chang Liu1;2, Paul L. Rosin2, Yu-Kun Lai2, Graham R. Davis3, David Mills3, and Charles Norton4 1 School of Astronautics, Beihang University, China 2 School of Computer Science & Informatics, Cardiff University, UK 3 Institute of Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, UK 4 BBC Archive Development, UK Abstract. 1960s film was typically printed on tri-acetate film base. If not preserved properly, such material breaks down at a chemical level, which is a non-stoppable process that permanently fuses the film so that it essentially becomes a lump of solid plastic. Recently, some precious films, such as the only known copy of the earliest surviving episode of `The Morecambe and Wise Show' have been discovered, but they are in poor condition. They will eventually turn into a pool of sticky liquid and be gone forever. In this paper, as proof of concept, we use X-ray microtomography to provide 3D imaging of a test film of similar vintage, and propose an automatic method to extract footage from it. Keywords: tri-acetate film, X-ray microtomography, 3D imaging 1 Introduction In 1968, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise came to London to make a new light entertainment series for BBC 2, which would come to dominate the UK light entertainment landscape for the next 15 years. Sadly, the BBC never formally archived that very first season of `The Morecambe and Wise Show'. Before the advent of commercial video exploitation (DVDs, iplayer etc.), bodies like the BBC saw little purpose in maintaining a large and expensive collection of pro- gramming.

  • Lord Michael Grade Media CEO and Chairman Media Masters – January 2, 2019 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Lord Michael Grade Media CEO and Chairman Media Masters – January 2, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by media executive Lord Michael Grade. Starting his broadcast career at LWT, his roots in variety theatre helped him to bring comedy greats like Bruce Forsyth and Morecambe and Wise to British screens. After three years in Hollywood as president of Embassy Television, he took “the biggest pay cut in history”, returning to the UK in 1984 as controller of BBC1. This “golden period” saw the launch of EastEnders, the purchase of shows including Neighbours and Dynasty, as well as the end of beauty pageants and Doctor Who. In 1985, he worked closely with Sir Bob Geldof on the broadcast of Live Aid, providing a 24-hour live global feed and hundreds of phone lines to accept donations. He spent nine years as chief executive of Channel 4, followed by a portfolio career, before being tempted back to broadcasting by the BBC in 2004 – this time as its chairman – where he was tasked with rescuing their reputation in the aftermath of the Hutton Report. After three years in post, he shocked the media establishment by moving to ITV as its executive chairman. He was awarded a CBE for services to broadcasting in 1988, and was made a life peer by then Prime Minister David Cameron in 2011. Michael, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Well, Michael, in writing that introduction, we had a really difficult time, actually, because we had to cut out hundreds of things that you’ve done to get the introduction into under 20 minutes.

  • The Intelligence Men in 1965
    Despite their initial concern about television, it didn't take the big US studios long to embrace the new medium. As explained in Casablanca - from Big Screen to Small, Warner Brothers were one of the first studios to enter television production in 1955, by lending from one of their biggest movie hits of all time. It was the beginning of a relationship that still thrives today. In this issue of TVM, we take a look at some of the successful, and not so successful examples of popular television shows being turned into big production features- and vice versa. There's also a look at a series of 'b' movies that now appear to be, but were not, made for television.

The subsequent chapters were intended to demonstrate the possibility of getting to grips with the substance of comic instances directly, that is, without the need for a guiding hypothesis. What I offered for each of the dozen or so sketches discussed in this book was a description of concrete details, and an articulation of how I understood these details, their implications and effects, to be working comedically, in synthesis with one another. These accounts are unlikely to persuade anyone who is inclined to find one of these sketches unfunny that it is, in fact, funny.
