With the naming cd video for laserdisc content, they made to confusion about disco vision, laser vision and laser disc even worse. But great presentation, thanks for sharing.

Actually, your timeline is a bit off. In terms of optical discs, Laserdisc (then sold under the name Disco-Vision - not kidding), an analogue format based on composite video and FM audio, was launched on December 11, 1978. It was later, in 1980, when Pioneer purchased the majority stake in the format, renamed LaserVision (format name) and LaserDisc (brand name). In 1982, the digital audio-only format Compact Disc (CD) came to be, developed by Sony and Philips. It applied may of the same principles as LaserDisc. The digital PCM audio format used for CD later was later incorporated into the LaserDisc format. In PAL territory, where the LaserDisc format was struggling, a new stab at relaunching the format was attempted. This time Philips tried to relaunch the format circa 1986 by renaming the format CD Video (not to be confused with the later fully digital MPEG1-coded VideoCD). The strategy was to sell CD-sized discs, containing 4 audio tracks and a single music video , hoping to lure in new young users, while also selling 12" discs containing music videos and/or concerts. Other than the addition of digital audio and the discs being gold colored, it was still the same LaserDisc format. The relaunch failed. However, as the 90s arrived and film enthusiasts were discovering the format, that offered both picture and audio quality near broadcast quality and a load of extra material and prices were getting somewhat affordable, the Laserdisc format was starting to QUITE slowly seep into the mainstream. Philips DID try to lauch a digital format known as VideoCD around 1991-1992 to rival both VHS and LaserDisc, but with quality being somewhat on par with VHS and you still had to change disc halfway through the movie, consumers didn't go for it, despite a rather large marketing campaign. It quickly faded into obscurity. Fast forward to 1996. DVD had been introduced the world in Japan that year. Thanks to the newly developed MPEG2 codec and improvements to the laser, now able to read even smaller pits on the disc and even able to work in layers, it was now possible to contain a full movie as well as bonus material on one side... and even offer several languages in both spoken and written form. Just some 4 to 5 years later, the format was so popular, that LaserDisc sales meanwhile had dropped rapidly. The final movie on LaserDisc came out in 2001 DVD got the success, that LaserDisc/CD Video/VideoCD never got. And is has managed to stay with us up until present time.

Surprisingly no comments about the apple vision pro. Interestingly, the vr headsets and concepts they have one this episode don't seem to far off from what we have. Pretty fascinating. Most likely what we have today is based off early tech and designs like this I would imagine. Of course the ui, presentation, and maybe the fact that hey had cameras to use as pass through technology to see in front of you is probably a lot different than they imagined back then.

Frankie Howerd was a great performer with his own individual style. This was shown perfectly in the original 'Up Pompeii' series from the 1969/70 era. There episodes were outstanding because of Frankie, the directors close-ups, and the excellent writing of Tolbot Rothwell. This follow-up is a poor imitation of the original. Only a few embers remain.

That glasses-free 3D TV works on a similar principle to the 3DS right? Albeit that came out 20 years later. I think there was a smartphone that worked on similar lines too but nobody ever sold a consumer TV that worked the same way, perhaps because the need to sit still in one position for it to work was more suited to handheld devices.

1993 was the year Rory Bremner started properly at Channel 4 and where he would remain for another 17 years. So it was a good choice for Channel 4 to get him to deliver their alternative Christmas message. One year later, this was banished to the Channel 4 archives for obvious reasons.

A billion calculations per second is equivalent to 1 gigaflop (GFLOPS). The term FLOPS stands for Floating Point Operations Per Second and is a measure of computer performance, The Apple M2 chip, found in the late 2022 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13, offers a peak performance of 3.6 TFLOPs. The Apple M3 chip, which is used in some of Apple’s laptops, has a peak performance of 4.1 TFLOPs, There’s also an Apple M3 Max chip, which has a higher peak performance of 16.4 TFLOPs2. This chip is used in more powerful devices and can perform 16.4 trillion floating-point operations per second.

I’ve been looking for this for decades! It really influenced my intellectual pursuits. I was a teenager when it was on and I went out and bought the book, which opened up a world of literature I would never have found in my family or school. My parents were horrified. 🤣 They should have tried Chaucer, it would have set their eyebrows on fire.
