@_steady_eddie Because most of the video files in my possession are already at a low resolution. Plus uploading them at broadcast standard would *really* piss off the BBC.

@OGWTArchive Hi, I love your Youtube channel and am consuming the uploads at a rapid rate. I was just curious why most, if not all, the videos are 240p resolution? I know a lot of the shows are from the early 70's but the resolution still seems very low. Not complaining mind you

@Darpross @TheOGWT @ElkieOfficial @WhisperingBob No off hand they played a 4th July gig all together in 1983. And thank you 😁

Edition 5.19 of @TheOGWT features sessions from Charlie and Dame @ElkieOfficial. Presented by @WhisperingBob. TX 3 Feb 1976. youtu.be/qwmH3ObO7VI #elkiebrooks #ogwt #whistletest

We Miss you ❤️

@sonicjustin I'll upload it later today - watch out for it. Think it may be timecoded sadly.

@OGWTArchive I have the Joni episode on my channel (youtu.be/pvZ3j4DQLVk ) but the quality is sadly lacking in some sections. If there's any improvement with the copy you have, Joni fans would sure be thrilled if you could upload it! Thanks for all the amazing uploads you've shared!

I've created an OGWT playlist, containing every episode for Series 4 bar three: youtube.com/playlist?list=… @WhisperingBob #ogwt #whistletest

@Darpross @TheOGWT @WhisperingBob Don’t know. YT say there are no viewing restrictions. Try watching it in YouTube rather than Twitter.
