[i]For much of these recordings all that exists are incoming feeds from the US via satellite. From memory, there is the launch of Apollo 8, the BBC2 transmission. The rest of the coverage that exists is black and white FR (Film Record.) There is some satellite feed footage of Apollo 9. Apollo 10 doesn't entirely survive, but there are lots of PasB's (Programmes as Broadcast) on black & white FR. For Apollo 11 there is not a great deal. Film inserts and satellite feeds. For Apollo 12, a round up show on colour VT presented by Cliff Michelmore. That's the mission where one of the astronauts pointed the camera at the Sun soon after landing and destroyed the camera tube. Apollo 13 there is a real mixture of PasB's on VT and b&w FR. For Apollos 14-16 mostly satellite feeds. For Apollo 17, there is a package programme presented by James Burke from Houston. Dave Scott is one of the contributors. It's an NTSC conversion. It was played out as a highlights show just prior to splashdown and would then have cut to Burke et al live. Sadly, only the edited package survives. I don't think there ever was a PasB of the whole show.[/i]
