Welcome to The TV Shelter.

We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible.

However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique.

And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums.

And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried.

We hope you enjoy your visit.

Intresting :) though I still have my copy about, though on an increasily decaying VHS tape. One day I'll put it through a PC so I can get a high quality copy of it onto hard drive.

How can you possibly get a high quality copy off an increasing decaying tape?

Mine is from 1982 but don't have any clues as to what might be on there.

all the good stuff you seem to find at the end of the tape!
So true about stuff appearing at the end of VHS tapes.

I recently discovered an episode of Danger Man recorded from the Original Bravo channel in the 90s, complete with continuity and closedown
of which can be seen here.

which lead into showing Birmingham Cable Radio

also found three videos recorded from MTV from 1995.
(The Shamen - Destination Eschatron, Deuce - On The Bible, Suggs - I'm Only Sleeping).

and somewhere i have a Good Morning Britain start-up on one tape with films recorded
in the late 80s.

I've since found an even older recording from 1988 with 25 years of top of the pops.
