BBC drama: THE HOUR
 

Gudday all,

Just finished watching The Hour and have to say I was very impressed with the representation of period broadcast equipment. :banana:

Anyone on here care to comment of the source of the Pye cameras, pedestals, and other 'starring' equipment?

Anyone care to put make/model numbers to same?

Being a nitpicker when it comes to historical dramas using the wrong props, the only queries I have are:

[A] the selection of prime lenses on the turret cameras looked too long and thin [i.e. small-iris telephoto?] for studio use,

[B] the boardroom TV was very small compared with lounge room sets in middle-class people's houses.

Other opinions? I enjoyed the series.

Compliments of the season to all :yippy:

equipment supplied by none other than golden age tv in the UK

I only saw the end of the program but thought it was well done

We watched the entire series. Very well done!
