You're far more value for money than the Christmas radio times...

 

[Lovemore]

Remember when this was the height of Christmas viewing. Sure it made the cover of the radio times Christmas edition. Amazing times to have a five pack of 120 min vhs tapes.
Or maybe they were 180 min?

Only happens when you write the label first before you stick it on the cassette.

I think they were 180 tapes…. Removing the little black tag so it couldn’t get wiped.

Carefully programming the VCR to catch a late film, then playing back to discover the late news had overrun and the recording stopped right at the important end bit of film….

In the early 1980s I think most of my recordings were to catch the Friday night episodes of Airwolf and/or A-Team

If you put in the Video Plus code didn't it adjust for you?

 

[Drifter]

Rebranded as “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Poor. Great film spoiled by some terrible editing.

 

[Al Bundy]

Class film, broke the mould.
Watching it later on, got it taped on Betamax

Unfortunately our first couple of VCR’s didn’t have that feature, I don’t think Videoplus was introduced until the late 1980s?

In fact I remember our first VCR being a bit of a huge beast! The Philips VR2022

One of few early machines that had tapes which could be recorded on both sides, great use of 180min tapes recording six hours total!

But this model lost the battle in the VCR war and it was very difficult getting films for that particular machine.

Betamax was the better system but lost out to VHS when they signed a deal with all the major film distributors to put films on their tapes.

It's amazing to think it's over 40 years old
