MRC21 at Wembley for the 1966 World Cup
and some still from the pictures from MCR 21:
1966 General Election
Robin Sutherland
I came across this interesting clip of Cliff Michelmore anchoring the 1966 Election coverage as they came back on the air early morning after a break. Nice studio action and a bleary Michelmore enters carrying a coil of his own mic cable.
Hugh Snape
Great clip, and I love the row of standby 4038s in front of the desk, not seen that before.
Alec Bray
Could that be a Mole Crane – probably need to see it moving… if not, what? I think it took the opening shot. Any other suggestions?
Dudley Darby
Yes it was a Mole. There was also a Heron used in the studio. I worked on one of the shifts.
Geoff Fletcher
It was a Mole on the 1964 October Election – I know because I tracked it! See diary entry below.
