In this intriguing episode of "Tomorrow Today," the 1972 British series delightfully blends scientific innovation with a light-hearted presentation style. The episode opens with a discussion on invisible forces, setting a thematic stage that resonates through the various segments.

We move from magnets to a segment on using light for communication on noisy construction sites, featuring a Xenon arc lamp. The demonstration is impressively practical, showing how this tiny, intensely hot light source can transmit voice data across the chaotic environment of a building site. The host explains that conventional methods like shouting and hand signals are ineffective compared to this high-tech approach, emphasizing the lamp’s utility without any technical mishaps.

The standout segment involves a deep dive into infrared radiation detectors and a new brain scanning technology that promises to revolutionize medical diagnostics. The episode makes an earnest attempt to simplify the complexities of these technologies, illustrating their potential impact on everyday life.

Finally, a demonstration of a suit designed to render the wearer invisible adds a whimsical touch, although the results are humorously underwhelming. The episode concludes with an invitation to write in with questions, a quaint reminder of pre-digital communication.

Overall, this episode of "Tomorrow Today" cleverly demystifies cutting-edge technology, making the science accessible and engaging, while maintaining a tone that bridges enthusiasm with educational content. It's a snapshot of a time when television sought to enlighten as much as entertain.

About the print: Print is in Very Good Condition. The color like so many prints of this vintage, has turned. Keep in mind you can still pull the color back out if your intention is to do a color-corrected film scan. No Vinegar Smell. Film is complete, runs approx. 15 minutes and comes mounted on a 600ft. reel.

This film appears to be solidly in the public domain. 

Pictures above are all from the actual film being offered and were taken while the print was running on a projector. Film is much sharper than pictures indicate. Some pictures might be more out of focus than others due to the camera used NOT the actual print. We don't ever use stock photos.
