Recorder: new documentary about 35 year TV preservationist Marion Stokes

Author

I caught a news piece about this documentary and in turn, the life of Stokes on the BBC recently and I was absolutely spellbound. She recorded TV broadcasts 24 hours a day for 35 years. Imagine if she had been a member of this community! 😮

Has anyone else on here heard of her, or this film? There are no release dates so far for the UK but I can’t wait to see it.

You’re welcome J! 😃

Yeah, I picked up the October 2019 film guide and there’s a lot of interesting stuff in there. It won’t be feasible for me to catch everything that I’d like to see, so I’ll get them on DVD/Blu-ray.
