Apparently the RDF film of the Queen storming out of a photo shoot was not the first time that the corporation has broadcast reverse footage.It happened during the 1984-85 miners strike as explained below in the Guardian
Charlie Addiman (Letters, July 14) points out that no apology or correction was offered when BBC news reversed the order of events at Orgreave in 1984, screening shots of miners throwing stones at police before showing mounted officers charging the miners. In 1991, though, in response to a complaint by Charles Alverson of Cambridge, Martin Hart, on behalf of the then BBC director general, acknowledged that the film had been reversed. Hart claimed: "It was a mistake made in the haste of putting the news together ... an editor inadvertently reversed the occurrence of the actions of the police and of the pickets." No inquiry. No measures to ensure it doesn't happen again. No public admission.
