Jim Atkinson, TC3, mid-sixties, in typical pose – “What does Rudi think he’s doing now?”

This the studio at BBC Evesham, known as the Phoenix. Every BBC tv technical operator spent time here playing with the toys on their training course. For anoraks, it’s just a few yards from where the exteriors of the Dr Who series Robot were recorded.
Peter says – “Chris Glass on double bass, Frank Smith on clarinet, Ian Ridley on dolly camera, Peter just visible between Ian and and John Henshall on the right camera. John Lopes is directing behind Eddie Baker on racks at left.”

Here Peter is shown on the monitor on the left, and on the right Ian Perry is lighting Mike McCarthy with John Heshall on camera

Peter with Frank Wilkins, either on an exotic dockside or in TC3
