Answer 2

I can't believe that time has moved on so much that people have never heard of "The Tube", possibly the best C4 show ever...

I must be so old that now I can admit to owning a Betamax video recorder, still have some tapes of "A passion For Angling"(1985 or so??) and once owned a Phillips V2000 video recorder.

Oh, and when I was a kid I used to love "The Old Grey Whistle Test" on BBC2 when I could get away with watching it.

Answer 3

No, you have me beaten there! That is some collection. I've been clearing out my VHS collection. Some of the films I have I'll never watch again, others I've bought on DVD or copied onto disk. The rest I've converted over. I realised when going through the tapes that a lot of what I once wanted is no longer to my taste.

Answer 4

Don't worry guys, I'm old enough to remember the Tube *and* the old Grey Whistle Test :) I've got episodes of Star Trek Next Generation taped off the TV from about 15 years ago!

Answer 5

I have a huge collection also.
They are all out there in the garage.
I have boxes full.
I have recorded episodes of:
Solid Gold Dancers
Greatest American Hero
Phil Donahue Show
MTV back in 1987 with Boy George, Madonna and Duran Duran

Answer 6

Sadly I lost about half my VHS collection, but I've still got every episode of M*A*S*H (started taping it before the series ended), amongst other things.

Answer 7

that's funny, Ive got loads of tapes behind our sofa! most are films, we've just bought our first dvd/video recorder! but i still end up recording onto vhs! i suppose old habits die hard lol.

Answer 8

I still have lots of videos. The tube when was that? I still have my sons He Man videos from around 1980 ish.

Answer 9

You think Bin Laden sent tapes to the CIA? lol

Answer 10

lol sorry but VCRs arent compatible with my TV made in the 21st century haha
