[Tech1] BGT

[Graeme Wall]

Thinking about it, the last time I can recall BP being used was on Z-Cars! CSO took over for quite while, including on Dr Who, a drama-doco on Crystal Palace and an epic version of Candide.

>> Hi Pat,
>> These are very unlikely to be BP these days they waste far too much space with throw lengths and would need to be very bright.  LED walls are the norm. These come in sections which bolt together along with metal work to stabilise and keep them upright. Usually a group of labour's arrive to carry it all in and assembled it.(And the reverse for the strike) LED walls have gradually become better resolutions you can get 4mm fairly easily although a big one like this is likely 8mm to avoid the money man having a hart attack. I do not think I have seen a big BP since the early 2000s
