Way back in February 1986, a few months before STOIC broke away from the College TV Studio, they reported on Op Soc. I&#8217;ve looked through the videotape card index and there are three cards listing STOIC&#8217;s coverage of Op Soc&#8217;s productions. If you look at the first card that I scanned, you can get an impression of just how many were covered. Intriguingly, I also spot a February 1979 twenty minute documentary programme (D5). Sadly, if it still exists, it&#8217;s on the Ampex 7003 One Inch type A format, which we can no longer play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/files\/2019\/11\/Op-Soc-Card-Index-One.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"526\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8413\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/files\/2019\/11\/Op-Soc-Card-Index-One.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Luckily, we do have from 1986 Op Soc with Princess Ida.
