1975 - BBC Training Film - Lenses

Here's a real curiosity, a BBC Television Training Production from 1975 which is an in-house film put together to help budding cameramen understand the way in which camera lenses are utilised in television production. This turned up on a Betamax tape and, according to the label, this was copied over from an earlier Philips N1501 tape.

Surprising basic error at 12' 38" "Different lens angle giving perspective distortion". Perspective distortion is down to viewpoint only, nothing to do with lens angle.

Is Carol in this video the girl from the famous test card - I believe she was the daughter of a BBC engineer?
