CONTENT
Television programmes are seldom exactly one hour long. The majority of those
selected for digitisation are likely to be approximately 30 minutes, with lesser
quantities of longer and shorter programmes. On that basis an estimate can be
made of the number of individual titles represented by the Digitisation Project
output:
