Since AP was the home of BBC News, why should this have happened. Much
more likely is that someone made "an Entertainment Tape" as a "spoof".

You can see it for yourself here. If it's a spoof then the BBC has
presented it in a rather misleading manner.

(The video - in nasty "RealVideo" format - purports to be a recording
exactly as broadcast, although I don't think they had work experience
juniors blindly cropping things to 14:9 back in 1964 so that
particular aspect of the presentation must be discounted.)

Yes, that's the recording. The DVD is in 4:3 so yes, that particular aspect
of the presentation can be discounted.

If it is a spoof then its a particularly elaborate one and I, for one, think
it far more likely that its a genuine recording of the opening night of
BBC2.
