I have just bought a copy of The Muppet Show which is in its original ITC can.
The can has a sticker on it:- "This print has been made for Telecine transmission".
Why should it say this, surely all the Muppet shows would have been made for showing on TV?

It all boiled down to the method of programme delivery Maurice. You will find no end of Muppet Shows on 16mm film and a good example how TV programming was delivered to networks world wide over video tape recordings during the 70’s. The film print you have will be a film transfer from a video recording which used to be known as a ‘Telerecording’ and simple to circulate world wide.

I believe they had a camera set up filming off a monitor for back up purposes not sure what they use today but allot of shows that were videotaped used this process.
