Eighties pop star Marilyn pays a visit to Maidstone, and pops into No. 73 for a chat with Dawn Lodge. Pookiesnackenburger are in the cellar. The horizontal lines on screen during the band number, is a phenomenon called 'microphony', a video artefact common in older TV cameras. Today's cameras use CCD sensors to produce the image, but prior to CCDs, vacuum tubes performed this task. Loud noises in the studio, such as rock bands or gunshot sounds would cause the tubes to vibrate. This would produce a characteristic and undesirable horizontal banding in the image. CCDs are not susceptible to this problem.
