Tonight's Tomorrow's World episode - old chod, the new C5 and failing autonomous vehicles

[forddeliveryboy]

As title

 

Plenty of old chod in clips from the past, 'driverless' 505 and S-class, 70s Fiats and more. Classic 60s/70s/80s telly brought up to date with failing links cutting to an empty BBC studio, crazy ideas and more. Supposedly live - is it 1st April already? BBC4, 9-10.30.

 

There's even a pic of an early 80s Celica on the studio wall.

Yeah I've been enjoying this, very entertaining.

 

Jet suit just now at the end, looks like mega fun

Loved seeing again the bit when Peter Snow had to rescue the (probably incredibly expensive) self-driving Mercedes from driving itself into a house as the thing wasn't going to make the bend on its own!! 

 

The cut at about 2110 stunned me as well (given my background of live TV), I too thought 'Is this just a clever stunt to prove how "Live" we are? aren't we edgy?' but quickly realised it was more a case of the director pushing the wrong button (or leaning on the V/M) on the vision mixer and it taking tem seconds or so (shit, shit, shit, we're live, shit) to sort out which feed should be going to air!!!

I turned on just as that bit was live , sat looking at an empty studio for 20 seconds

 

did you notice that merc jumped the light as well , I have to say I was pretty impressed with Judith Hann's legs, googled her and she's 76
