A Picture of Crew 14. Conversations – Nov 2014 to Feb 2015 →. BBC Telecine in the 1960s. February 6, 2015. In August 1960 I was assigned to the Television Recording Section at Lime Grove Television Studios as an operations and maintenance technician. I was only concerned with Telecine; the means of broadcasting film. The equipment was known by a numbering system starting at TK 1. We had fifteen machines at Lime Grove. This representation of 35mm comopt film has a variable area sound track. The sound was ...

Page 172 →. August 17, 2010. This year BBC Television Centre reached its 50. Anniversary a fact recently commemorated at the NFT. Here is a brief personal tribute to the old place when it was a young place even before I started there. (Is it possible to feel nostalgia for a time before your own memories begin? I think it must be, but they may not have invented a word for it yet.). And you thought it was all about being a hyper-efficient programme-making factory? And does anyone have a copy? Some rare ima...

Lunch 9th December 2014 →. Fiona Martin’s Television Centre. November 9, 2014. Television Centre in the 1970s and 1980s a child’s perspective. Simply waiting for him while he was working and were perhaps even sent on the odd errand. Sometimes my mum would take us shopping in London, but the beginning and the ends of the day would be in TVC so that we could go in one car as a family. So then they had to record themselves making the noise and make a loop tape by running it around something on the floor, or...

Lunch 9th December 2014. BBC Telecine in the 1960s →. A Picture of Crew 14. January 25, 2015. Long before the Calendar Girls . . . Even before the Chippendales . . . There was Crew 14. Some shallower observers may also remember that it involved an unusually large number of attractive young actresses taking all their clothes off. Female nudity was not uncommon on television at the time, before the invention of Political Correctness. It was a product of the Swinging Sixties and, in BBC Drama Dept.,...Our s...

Lunch at the Horniman at Hays Galleria (once again). More Conversations →. Roger Bunce – leaving the BBC. October 23, 2014. All those aspects of my job that motivated and inspired me for so long had now be surgically removed, in order to make life easy for accountants. I might as well go freelance, and work purely for the money. So, having achieved my ‘Objective’, I decided it was time to escape. It was. Many others were disappointed. One of the more stupid decisions made by BBC management when they buil...

Roger Bunce – leaving the BBC. Fiona Martin’s Television Centre →. November 6, 2014. Here is a second collection of threads from the Tech Ops mailing list, once again many of them telling stories of how life really was for those who worked for the BBC. The conversations have been edited – hopefully to create a better “flow” – but always the intention has been to keep the Tech Ops mails as intact as possible. A Lament for TVC. What people said…. What people said…. What people said…. In the days of Black a...

BBC Telecine in the 1960s. Conversations Feb 2015 to July 2015 →. Conversations – Nov 2014 to Feb 2015. February 11, 2015. Here is a third collection of threads from the Tech Ops mailing list. There’s a lot of sound stories in. Many of the conversations in this set covered a number of topics, and some segued into new topic areas. As a result, some entries (pages) are not as “clear-cut” as others in their content – a comment might be on another page. 405-line TV broadcasts returning. 8220;Calf Love”.
