This part features the half-time discussion about the first half leading up to handing back over to John Motson.
----------------- Source Material Information -----------------
As far as I'm aware this has only ever been broadcast once, on the day itself, and was a live program as was typical at the time.
Old videotapes were, in today's terms, 352x288 in size. I recorded the program on a 3-hour video TDK tape set to long-play mode, doubling the length I could record on the tape, which lowered the quality even more.
The tape hasn't been played since the day it was recorded and has mostly been stored in a cool dark place, the basement of my apartment building.
I captured the video on a Sony VCR, the last model they ever produced, into a digital video camera then compressed with Sony Vegas 18 and an NVIDIA codec.
Naturally, if you put sh*t in you're gonna get sh*t out as you can't polish a t*rd. It is what it is and I put this here for posterity.
When time permits I will try applying some filters to improve the colours, sharpen the picture and so on.
Just remember, this video will look at its best on a standard definition TV rather than being upscaled to HD or full HD let alone to 4K.
It is what it is. :-)
