The last video tape

So we've all got some relic of an abandoned format gathering dust in some corner of the loft. A laser disc, a mix C90 tape from a forgotten love or even good old video tape (maybe even Betamax?) Bet someone's got some Super8.

Never got round to converting it to CD or what ever people record on these days.

So what's on it? What voices from a forgotten past?

Has

1 TV Hell, an ancient all nighter from BBC2. Back before the days of it all being Stewart F**king Marconie. This one's presented by Paul Merton and Angus Deaton in their prime.

2 Edge of Darkness. Quality cold war nuclear chiller.

3 The protect and survive informercials on how to survive a nuclear war.

4 The banned single of Ruby Tuesday by Carter USM

Same here. Well, just VHS.
I found some quite good comedy stuff from the early '90s, but I doubt I'll ever get around to putting it on something else and chucking them.

What you got, zoooship?

Mainly standup. But some other stuff like old Vic and Bob. And the Boosh before they were the Boosh.

Ooo. I shall have to have a look.

Is there a video player in your possession?

Only problem being, I have literally hundreds of VHS tapes and never labelled them properly...

Video tombola is fun!

Hehe!

Although with mine you're quite likely to end up with Color Me Badd on TOTP singing I Wanna Sex You Up.

thats a win in my book

Nooo. I don't think?

I mean it's weird becauuuse they are together.

Hundreds of VHS tapes, a few Betamax ones and a fair few cassette tapes. Should just chuck them all out really.
