[Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qlbO0khXYw) a clip from the mildly hilarious premiere broadcast of BBC 2, which went on the air on the very night in 1964 that London had a massive power failure. This forced them to do the evening news from a back-up studio consisting of a makeshift press room, a rather vague young man in a sweater reading one piddling feature item after another, and a ringing telephone that constantly interrupts him. “Well…something has started.” ---

Definitely my favorite of the moment: [Laser Magic!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-XoN1Ts6Wg) And [this](http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1764504) (possibly NSFW ads) seems to be the source of the prairie dog video. If you click back to the videos page, they’ve got some funny parodies of the dramatic one too. ---

There are a significant number of important and historical jazz videos that might warrant a separate thread if the interest is great enough, but I will hold off starting such a thread until there’s another post here to suggest it might have a following. Either that or somebody else will take the plunge. Meanwhile, I’ll suggest some Bill Evans things that can be seen on the sidebar to accompany this first installment of [The Universal Mind of Bill Evans - 1/5](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm6V7bWnVpw&mode=related&search=) which is itself a fine tutorial on jazz musicianship that might appeal to budding jazz people. ---
