Talk:Our World (1967 TV program)

message: 38.118.43.2 I have no first-hand knowledge of this broadcast, as I was only born in 1969.  However, was this program really a Beatles project, or was this a BBC project with Beatles input?  On the wiki page for the single "All you need is love" it states the BBC commissioned a song for OUR WORLD, which implies the BBC drove the project (probably in connection with other European/world broacasters) specifically to demonstrate the new technology. 38.118.43.2
:It wasn't a Beatle project, certainly. I'm not sure if it was an international project to which the BBC contributed, or if the project was theirs. --kingboyk 07:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It was a European Broadcast Union project, originating from an idea by a BBC producer.  The Beatles contributed a new song that appeared near the end of the two and half hour broadcast.  I wouldn't state that it was a Beatles project, because they were not involved in the planning, and were merely guests on the show.--Abebenjoe 00:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Um... the external link to the CBC's coverage actually links to an A(ustralian)BC page that is not what is described. Can someone in the know fix this? --RealGrouchy 01:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Not wanting to by AYNIL about it, but the header includes the line "[the Beatles performed]...'All You Need Is Love', composed especially for the occasion.".  However All You Need Is Love indicates that this may well not be the case and that some sources claim that the song had already been written.  Some consistency needed here! --HappyDog (talk) 16:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Wasn't the live broadcast of JFK's funeral transmitted directly to many non-US countries. at least in Western Europe, by satellite? William Manchester seems to imply in The Death of a President that the live coverage was shared in real time far outside North America. He doesn't explicitly mention a satellite link, but it might have been hard to achieve that kind of on-the-spot live coverage across the Atlantic except by satellite.Strausszek (talk) 06:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the Telstar and Syncom articles, it seems that it was possible to have low-quality one-off broadcasts between two points from about 1960, if the satellite was in the right place. 'Our World' was marking the arrival of routine round-the-world broadcast-quality links. Could the JFK funeral coverage have been by underwater lines? Matt's talk 19:25, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thoughts, Mr Manchester probably means radio. Matt's talk 19:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll check Manchester and other sources on this - I don't own DOAP myself, read it some years ago and noticed what he said about the impact of the new medium in connection with the funeral - but I know I've read in some other place that even Soviet tv showed a much condensed summary of the funeral, including some bits from the actual mass at St.Patrick's (which would be quite amazing for '60s USSR). And if that was what the Soviet Union did, it seems reasonable that at least some Western European countries might have secured a feed of fully live tv. This is quite interesting since the death of JFK and the following few days were one of the first big "tv news events" where television actively shaped people's awareness of what was happening, and bound the community together. As somebody put it, news television matured in those few days and showed a potential that very few had credited it with previously. Strausszek (talk) 22:09, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

text: The article does not claim to be the first satellite broadcast, but rather the first live-worldwide TV broadcast. Other live TV broadcasts did not have a global reach, as a minimum of three geosynchronous satellites are needed to provide such coverage, which didn't happen until 1967. The first trans-Atlantic satellite TV broadcast was with Telstar in 1962 (John Logie Baird achieved the first-ever trans-Atlantic "broadcast" using both telephone lines and shortwave radio, using his low-defination mechanical-scan equipment in the late 1920s and early 1930s). JFK's funeral, in 1963, was televised by the first-ever geosynchronous satellite, Syncom 2 to Europe.--Abebenjoe (talk) 16:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

message: When was this footage colorized? It can't have been as late as the Anthology, point in case being Eric Idle's parody The Rutles from 1978 which went to great lengths to resemble the authentic look of original footage throughout the whole film, also because the feature was frequently intercutting staged material with original footage, for instance clips from the purported A Hard Day's Rut film were shown in b/w, whereas the footage of The Rutles at Shea Stadium has a strong red color cast, just as the original 1965 audience footage that is thrown in there. Love life, the song played during the Our World parody in the film, has the same artificial colors as does the original. And remember, The Rutles was made in 1978!
So, when was the broadcast of Our World actually colored? In any case, it can't have been any later than 1978! --79.193.53.160 (talk) 11:40, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
