a recording of UK Food switches to the same episode an hour later on UK Food +1
unfortunately not seamlessly but still a vaguely interesting find

i'm so proud of this lol
and yea it's captured from an actual tape. ive never seen an easily accessible vhs filter that looks particularly convincing

i should do more stuff like this for LCF and otherwise. i really wanna put some episodes of Andor on tape so that will def be a future project
LCF-TV wants to hear from viewers like you!

found a charity shop using vhs tapes to stop books being pushed too far back on the shelves
took a lot of digging and probably some weird looks but i did pull out a couple of recorded blanks. i bought them

this one was a bit of a disaster
cleaned up nicely eventually but not before spewing a blizzard of ground up mold powder all over its own innards and my cleaning vcr 🤢
also put the spools in a new case and disposed of the old one

cleaning the mold off some tapes i got last year
these had been stored in a goat milking barn. not great for preservation!
