Space Forum / SETI / July 2008Where can I find BBC Liver Birds episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ???
Where can I find BBC "Liver Birds" episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ??? I somehow expect that decimalization must have made its way into the scripts somehow. Interesting prices noted for 1975: Front Loader Clothes Washer @ 100 UKP !!! Oooutch that's dear! Liver Birds notes -- The whole series should be available via .torrent files, but it isn't. -- Hulu.com has no agreement to run BBC Classic Material (when the BBC TV produced most of its content, 1945-1980s). -- All Liver Birds episodes are in Colour (to the best of my knowledge) as it was a Flagship programme at the time. Applicable links -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=cB6Gz0laPes -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=rbwjSjKDH9g -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ult-jO3vEuE (Nerys 'The Liver Birds' Hughes advertises Sutherlands' paste in 1991) -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=rx1EwdbmrR4 (Informative English ad from 1971 letting people know about the new decimal currency that was introduced on 15th February 1971) -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=T4wr93OpmbU repeat of above advert? -- http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=TZVEEs-RJpw The Australians and Kiwis had it much harder, in 1966 and 1967. Colour TV was introduced around the same time as BBC TV. Note the Deep Space Network @ Home link hinted at in the vids, but you really must go to -- http://hireme.geek.nz/dsn-at-home.html > Where can I find BBC "Liver Birds" episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION > (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ???

Oooutch that's dear! Many things were relatively expensive in days gone by: - late 1930's - small black and white TV ~£1,000 late 1960's - colour TV ~£1,000 now - high resolution widescreen TV <£1,000 early 1970's - B&O stereo Amp - ~£300 mid 1990's - Prologic AV receiver - ~£300 now - DTT AV system ~£300 all inc taxes. 1986 - first hand portable mobile phone or fully loaded 80386 PC ~£2,000 1993 - early GSM mobile or Pentium PC ~£700 now - SIM free Nokia N95 or decent Dell PC - ~£300 (basic mobile ~£50) (all plus VAT) ||| Where can I find BBC "Liver Birds" episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION ||| (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ??? [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] || || late 1960's - colour TV ~£1,000 I think your memory must be playing tricks on you there Mark, looking at some of the original price details [which I can produce if you like].. In 1967 (the world's first large screen fully solid state colour TV) the dual standard BRC 2000 sold with a recommended price of 284 guineas.. And in 1969 the 25 inch (single standard) Ekco CT105 sold with a recommended price of £292. doubtless taking the 'recommended' price out of the equation and looking for bargains, it's possible they could have been purchased for even less. || now - high resolution widescreen TV <£1,000 || [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] || || (all plus VAT) > ||| Where can I find BBC "Liver Birds" episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION > ||| (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ???

Ooher - remembered some article giving present day prices :-( nevertheless you can still buy a TV for less than they cost seventy years ago! ||| R.

However I suppose that compared to present day prices in real terms it would work out at 'well over' £1000 now, when you consider that my brand new house back in 1967 costs under £4000, and the last time I bothered to check, about a year ago, it was worth over £200,000 it certainly makes one think, although the way things have been rapidly panning out over the last few months I suspect that before long will soon be back down to £4000 pounds again! > ||| R.

Might as well, a used house *is* a used house. They don't last forever.  Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |
