    Fawlty Towers was on 16mm film, I believe. They credit a film cameraman.

     

    Anyway, I doubt it will be possible to use any of the equipment anymore. You MIGHT be able to find a camera and you MIGHT be able to find the support equipment but video has changed so much that there may be no way for you to do anything the footage.

     

    that's something to go on. thanks for your help, really appreciated.

    Hello,

     

    My first post here. Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

     

    I'm looking to find details on what video cameras were used during the late 70s early 80s, for TV shows such as The Good Life, Fawlty Towers etc (BBC shows from the late 70s-early 80s.

     

    I don't know anything about TV production or video cameras, was just curious to see how easy/cheap it was to lay my hands on old equipment, for a bit of experimenting.

     

    Many thanks!

    chris
