Post production seemed to have a problem digitizing the tape too, or maybe they prefer oval dartboards. ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif.pagespeed.ce._hfWAz_QHO.gif)
The dartboards at the BBC used to deform under the effect of all the BBC tea fumes from the canteen*.
*I used to have a friend who worked as a secretary at the BBC. If we were planning an evening out I'd meet her at the BBC and we'd eat in the canteen before going out. I can't comment on the infamous BBC tea as I never drank any, but the food was good for canteen food, and there was a self-service ice cream counter freezer like you'd find in a Baskin-Robins about 12 feet long.
Yes, the BBC staff were well catered for (pun intended), I've had many a lunch in the TV centre at Wood Lane with the engineers there and met a few celebrities as well.
Similar at ITV on the South Bank as well, I was there once with my boss to look at some problems they were having with lighting controls in a few offices not performing correctly. We were in a lift and who should step in, but Jim Rosenthal and he immediately called my name and started chatting to me like long a last brother. When we got out the building, my boss said to me who was that and how did he know you, I told him who he was, (he was clearly a bit jelly), but I never told him that I also knew his brother, and we used to work together and I also knew his mum.
Funny, but the boss never came out with me anymore after that event, so that was a real winner
