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.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3585041.stm

(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.)

There still seem to be gremlins! I've tried to watch it twice: OK, I
expected silence for the first two and a half minutes, but (using VLC),
at about 2'30" I get garbled sound, followed by a freeze-up at about
2'37" (about half way through, judging from the slider).

I thought they'd stopped using RealVideo (in favour of Flash, which has
its own problems). Though I now see the above page is dated 2004-4-20,
so probably has a link to an old-format clip. I'm assuming it's the
"WATCH AND LISTEN" link near top right, that links to
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/video/40...19_bbc2_vi.ram that
links to rtsp something; the "Lights Out" link below it to
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...io/3585041.stm
doesn't seem to work for me either (no error message, just nothing
happens).
