We not only preserve old TV programmes like this one for your enjoyment and education, but make some of our own as well. Please support the work of independent movie makers by reading more about our production: Please support the work of independent film makers: Back in 1993 this doc was shown on BBC2 about three times and never since. The interview with Frank Zappa was one of his last and I first saw it in early '93 when I taped it on VHS. In those days TV was not the horrible medium it is today, there were some decent Arts programmes and not Kirsty Wark showing how ignorant she is by hosting a cretinous book club or the X Factor. Hope you like this clip. I had to wind & rewind the tape about 15 times before it would play without a shower of static all over the screen, not bad for an 18 year old tape. VHS players never had an auto-function to counter tracking issues and a deterioration in the RF that you can see at the bottom of the frame, aside from re-tracking as best as possible.
