Once source you could try contacting in terms of film and tv archive is the Wessex Film & Sound Archive, based at the Hampshire Records Office - contact person is - David Lee - [log in to unmask] There are also contact details on their web site: http://www.hants.gov.uk/record-office/film/index.html
I'm not sure to what extent recent TV programmes are added, but items held in the collection are indexed on the Hampshire Record Office catalogue (which is available online at: http://calm.hants.gov.uk/DServeA/search.htm ). You can search on "archaeology" in the any text field and select "Wessex Film and Sound Archive" in the repository field.
Hope this is of some interest.
As part of the Hampshire Photographic Project we may be scanning in some images of archaeological excavations (very selectively) and will certainly be scanning images of historic buildings. It is likely that these images will be made use of by colleagues in the Historic Environment Record for Hampshire.

Subject: [FISH] MIDAS - Resources information scheme review: TV
broadcasts
Morning all,
Just to open up a couple of discussion threads on this Information Scheme
which I suspect needs more attention. The plan is that the Information
scheme will be broadened in scope to cover a wider range of resources,
metadata for different resource types etc.
One specific area I would like comments on is the recording as a source of
broadcast TV programmes. As we have all seen in the last couple of years
heritage has become 'the new gardening' or whatver. Discussion elsewhere
(e.g. on britarch) has debated the merits of these programmes, but I think
it is fair to say that hundreds of sites have been filmed, and that footage
(wherever it is held) is going to be very informative as an archive in years
to come.
Does anyone currently add TV programmes as sources to their records?
If so, what information should be recorded to describe a programme treated
as a source - does MIDAS cover this area adequately?
Is anyone aware of where (if at all) footage from these programmes (perhaps
including unbroadcast footage) is held? How can it be adequately referenced
to promote future access?
Edmund
