Dear Claire
Sorry to say that you will need to purchase copies with non-theatrical
rights cleared - and this may be very costly. There are no television
broadcasts with last transmission dates pre the implementation of the
Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 which you could legitimately copy
without such clearance.
If you send us a list of the titles and sources we may be able to assist in
locating the material for you with the appropriate clearance in place.
