The IBA never allowed the use of Beta or U-Matic formats for anything
other than news. It was only around 1988 that the use of BetaSP was
relaxed for promos and other non news applications. ISTR the Beeb
adopted a similar approach ?

Thames adopted MII rather before that. Seems it made the IBA spec whereas
BetaSP didn't.

Yes, I remember that. Anglia also adopted MII, I can't remember exactly when
the IBA mandated its use for non news applications ?

The Eastenders live edition back in February consumed over 30

after particular scenes. I'd imagine Granada adopted a very similar
operation
(perhaps hired the same crews etc ?) for Coronation St ?

And to think the industry used to churn out live drama every day with
4 or 5
cameras...

True, but it probably didn't feature multiple scenes interwoven as a
modern production does, and it may have used film inserts for some of
the outdoor scenes. Come to think of it, was there any live drama in
the past that used live production (ie video cameras) for outdoor scenes?

people have delusions we must apparently call them a religious group, and
respect their delusionary state.

Scratch that - I misread the question . FaW used a mobile VT, for the
Ainsdale beach stuff (or so I was told in the 80's)

Family at War wasn't live, was it ?

ISTR the location scenes were film anyway ?

A corporation cannot own the name of a city and province.

It can own the name for other uses.

Yes it comes down to whether or not it is registered as a trade mark or
service mark, and whether it is being used in the context of a company
name, but a name which has existed for hundreds of years prior to a
corporation using it, and not invented by that corporation is still
just a name.

As for take away food establishments using the name McDonalds --

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Ian Jackson
saying something like:

What about Vauxhall?

Lovely place; village by the sea, isn't it?

Hah. Ford would beg to differ.
I seem to recall there was a court case. Presumably Granada TV lost.

Station"
