A friend wanted me to upload this for all you TV geeks out there. It has nothing to do with me! Filmed in January 2000 in BBC Television Centre, Shepherds Bush, London.
These folks found out about the closed captions for a "Meet the Ancestors" episode (the episode was entitled "The Tomb That Time..." on January 3, 2000. Here, those were missing, but they're all found just several minutes later.
I just found out that DB does not only stand for Digital Betacam. It does also stand for Digital Broadcast. The clip of a "Tots' Time" episode entitled "Making Up", originally aired January 3, 2000 on BBC Knowledge is what's seen on here. Same said for the videotape clock slate for an episode of "DynaMo", also aired on BBC Knowledge on the same day.
@@northernplacecorporation I was wondering was this the same with other programmes as well so one was on the DB1 monitor and the next one was on the DB2 monitor?
@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq Well, the "Making Up" episode is on the DB1 (Digital Broadcast #1) monitor. The slate from "DynaMo" is on the DB2 (Digital Broadcast #2) monitor. The former is what's on air back on January 3, 2000. The latter wasn't.
However, the Digital Betacam cassette seen here is for episode 16 of "The Kit", originally aired on August 3, 1999, on the network that aired it, BBC Knowledge. It was re-aired on January 3, 2000, on the same network. The master tape of it (that being a Sony 32 minute Digital Betacam videocassette) is seen for several seconds. Same said for the Sony DVW-A510P player and its' accompanying DVW-A500P recorder.

Thank you so much for uploading this to UA-cam Tots Time looks like a fantastic programme for pre-school kids which was shown on BBC Knowledge by the way according to my research I can confirm that the episode Making Up was shown on Monday 3rd January 2000 Making Up 3 January 2000 However that Tweenies episode was originally broadcast on Tuesday 16th November 1999 at 10:30 on BBC Two.

Yes, we remember and we're still here
I think they would be using Windows NT 3.51 (1995) or maybe Windows NT 4.0 (1996)
Thanks so much for uploading this to UA-cam this is absolutely fascinating!

@@northernplacecorporation Oh okay so I wonder where about at BBC Television Centre BBC Knowledge was?
@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq The BBC Television Center the BBC Knowledge TV channel is transmitted from is one in London, at Sheperds Bush.
Wo there! How young! It must be about 10 years ago. Anybody out there remember this?
No afraid not I was wondering do you know which Tweenies episode was being shown at the start of this recording?
They're using Digital Betacam at the time, hence the Sony DVW-A500P Digital Betacam recorder shown here.
They're using light bulbs in their offices at the time, hence the light coming out of the bulbs here.
@@joenest2122 Oh. I see.

@@northernplacecorporation Yeah but if you look very carefully at the start you will see Tweenies
@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq Wait... Really?
I miss PICS.
Just 5 months before major power cut...
Lol, computers using Windows 3.11
Seems a fun job to me. Where can I apply?
What the system is called?
EDIT: It was OmniBus playout system.
The automation was Compass, the server was called Mapp
Im afraid not, this is all I have.
Does anybody know what episode of Tweenies was being shown at 00:32 00:33 as I don't recognise it myself
Yes! The episode is "Making Up".
@@TweeniesMad Thank you that took some working out
@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq not really! When you’ve watched the episodes over and over, you just know! 😉
@@TweeniesMad Yeah that episode is brilliant isn't it
@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq it is!
We're these guys responsible for playout of stuff from the servers at all or just copying programmes to it?
00:32 00:33
I can see The Tweenies
S+V satis for TX ?- in my day a cassette was NEVER satis for TX !
