1982............
When I rented my first video recorder from Granada (It's great service you get when you rent your colour set from...), I had the choice of a video of the film M*A*S*H or Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. I forget which one I opted for. Certainly the first video I purchased was A Horse Called Nijinsky at a tad over £20, which was the going rate for pre-recorded videos at that time. Even blank tapes were around a tenner.
Yes, early video was hellish expensive. Those "bricks" of complicated cassettes for the Philips N1500, in the early 70s were about £25, which was a LOT of money!!
