Unfortunately, this clip has not been preserved perfectly! Even on an SVHS VCR with timebase corrector, this is the best result I could get! The original VCR that recorded this back in 1995 will have lost synchronisation among all the motors in its mechanism when the BBC1 transmitter at Crystal Palace shut down the previous night as there would have been no signal (including sync pulses) transmitted when the transmitter was off air. When it started up again, the VCR recording this back in 1995 was supposed to lock on to the new sync pulses from the transmitter, but clearly... it didn't!
I've done the best I can with this in my Panasonic VCR. My JVC could play it but with an even shakier picture, the Sanyo kept playing it but with tracking bars going up the screen every half a second and the Sharp just played it with a solid blue screen.
