Please consider giving a donation today to support our HD AUDIO / IMAGE Restoration Program.
The main objective of enhancing historical image and sound recordings by digital signal processing is to improve the overall quality of recordings degraded by several distortions. Whether true signal restoration or merely signal enhancement can be achieved depends heavily on the quality of the historical image and sound material.
Image and audio restoration is an extremely time-consuming process that requires skilled audio and image engineers with specific experience in motion pictures, sound and music recording techniques as well as high-end hardware and software.

My theatre. A fascinating watch, wonderful to see many heroes, colleagues, and friends.

Wonderful to see this! I loved Tommy Steele’s story of accepting a job at the Old Vic because he knew it was a place in which he could learn.

Authentic theatrical scenario worth watching 🎉Thankyou very much😊

Our pleasure! Cheers!

Splendid stuff. It was worth it just to hear Dame Sybil giving that rousing speech at the end. Ralph Richardson doing his default position of never actually answering a direct question, but going off on one of his rambling tangents.😉

[@katyalacrua6793]

Sir John and Sir Laurence, or more specifically Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier OM .

First time I've heard Tyrone Guthrie speak.

Sybil Thorndike is a hoot!

Of course, this transition to The National Theatre brought in Olivier's choice of "play chooser" and right-hand man, Kenneth Tynan, who was controversial in his vision, but, I'd argue, just what the theatre needed for the new generation of actor and audience.
