Re the h/f whine, I suspect that the veritable density sound track they were using could not handle it so the proberbly ran the original recording a half speed.

Interesting that it was 7 years from becoming redundant to demolition. Even allowing for some time spent trying to find a use for it (as described), I fear these days there would be far more pressure to shorten the interval. There's strong desire to remove links to the engineering past (and other elements of the past) - I think they make some people uneasy. More than just the maintenance costs.

Fascinating that (8:43) the lightbulbs survived; I appreciate they probably used rough-duty bulbs, but still … And brilliant choice of music.

I'd like if this footage was upscaled and colourised.

Hadn't quite realised the scale of things at Droitwich! Good to see this video 👍

It's crazy to think that the BBC could demolish the site after 90 odd years, especially considering the blood and sweat of the many workers who constructed the buildings, mast and all the RF equipment, these should be preserved as natural treasures especially considering the countless millions that would have tuned in, not to mention the taxpayers' money that has gone into it.

Didnt realise they were potentially demolishing it. Used to see it on the way to Bromsgrove, to see my grandma, when I was a kid (70's / 80's).

A few years ago I had to deliver some equipment by road from Luton to Madrid and I had BBC Radio 4 all the way! On one day in the journey, a Saturday afternoon I think, there was a very good radio play about a man coming back as a ghost to annoy his widow and I became so engrossed in it that suddenly I found myself in a town in France that was not on my route! That would not happen with MW, or VHF(FM)...

I wonder if its still the same radio mast from 90 years ago ?

Visited the site some years ago and the cooling ponds were well stocked with goldfish! Knew staff who worked there back in 1960-1980.

Among others I remember Droitwich written on the frequency scales of older radio sets.

15 years later I would love to see an HD transfer of this film. Where did it come from?

Yeah that would be great, it''s amazingly well made

They should have run the audio through a DSP and equalizer to clean up the muddy sound. Even me and my smaller mix board and PC could do a better job on the audio. I have transferred many old recordings to MP3 and did better than this.
