The BBC mounted a large public exhibition in a building near BH.
I (Bernie) was a tracker at the time, and one day we all had to pose as a crew in TC1 for a photo in the Mantovani Show set, with him front centre and the rest of us grouped around with cameras etc. We found out why at the exhibition, where we were a larger than life-size wall covering. I was quite proud!
There was the usual compilation programme on BBC1 – though come to think of it, it may have been the first.
