Everything You Ever Wanted (or didn't want) To Know About "Intertel VTR Services" (and quite a bit more...)

[Lord Reith]

Intertel made all the Beatles promo films from 1965 to 1968, and yet I had never seen any information anywhere about them. It was like they had never existed. Until now!

I stumbled across this web page which gives more information about them than even the biggest tv nerd could ask for. How they began, where they operated, who they made programmes for, and even details of what equipment they used!

I was interested to learn that an episode of Journey To The Unknown called "The Girl In The Crowd" shows Intertel's actual studios and, by coincidence, this is one of only two episodes I have of this show. And since it also features Jane Asher in the 1960s... well, it's now just crying out to be rewatched.

Fascinating story - but what an ignominious ending!

Yes, there one moment and gone the next.

Pretty amazing company though. Totally normal now, but way ahead of the game at the time.
