BBC Mirror Ball Globe Model
Broadcast
1974
This recording shows the 1974 BBC 1 globe symbol model working parts. As you can see from the CD jewel cases the model is sat on it was remarkably small in size.
Incidentially Murray Andrew’s initial idea for the globe was a solid black rubber ball with the landmasses as raised white mouldings, the idea was to light it externally, but it didn’t work as well as he’d hoped, which is why Murray decided to make the globe hollow and light it internally.
