name='Merton Park']I find it utterly incomprehensible that the BBC in their wisdom, wiped the Beatles on Juke Box Jury edition!!
Does anyone know who was responsible for the cannibalistic behaviour at the BBC of wiping so many bits of history. I had heard that in the late 1970's it was a cost cutting measure and the cost of storage and price of Video Tapes was the main reason .
I assume some Accountant pen pusher told them it was cheaper to re use tapes than purchase new ones, without realising the intrinsic value of what was on them, together with the real cash value of the content. Because they couldn't actually put a number on them they probably called them worthless. Idiots!
Somebody must have been making the decisions and it was probably over some considerable time. Is anyone aware of what actually happened.
