Richard O'Brien doing a phone in on Going Live in 1992 (Youtube: keeping VHS recordings alive)

The great thing about Youtube isn't the twentysomethings making far too much money sat playing games, although for many it would be the dream life. The great thing I find is that it's become a repository for VHS recordings keeping the memory of old content alive and kicking. I've wasted many an hour watching old episodes of They Think It's All Over and Have I Got News For You that would otherwise be gathering dust on an old Memorex tape in someone's loft.

This morning, this gem was uploaded, Richard O'Brien fielding questions on The Crystal Maze from the Going Live studio audience, and from viewers at home. It goes an awful lot better than it did for Five Star.

Just as an extra, here's a playlist of more uncommon clips, adverts and general Crystal Maziness that without Youtube, would never be seen again.
