Triggered by MHP-Chat, I've developed a sudden curiousity for graphics/images/sound clips from BBC World Service Television or (even better), BBC Europe TV from the eighties. I would be most interested in any material anyone has/can point me in the direction to. Anyone?

Sorry, should add what I've already come across:
- Content from TV World
- Intertel - The Sound clip from Isonstine TV
If anyone has a CRV laser disk player (that's the Sony Professional disk player, now defunct), they can have the original 'wavey flag' World material, both the News & Presentation
When World first started, there used to be 2 distinct channels - BBC Europe & BBC Asia, both taking the BBC World News.
BBC Europe became BBC Prime, and BBC Asia became BBC World.
I don't know when exactly they changed, but at least 4 years ago

That was in January 1995.
