Introduction by Bernie Newnham:
Some of the most on-going fun I had at the BBC was 11 years in cameras during the golden age of television.
Back in 2002 I found a number of long lost photos from the sixties/seventies and was so pleased about this that I wanted to share them. I had the thought that there might be others out there with pics (and stories) that they too could share, and it seems I was right.
In 2010 I updated the site using WordPress.There were around 170 pages on the old site which have now been added to the WordPress Site. We now have over 1000 (as of February 2024) so if you want to find something I strongly advise using the search functions on the sites. This WordPress version you can step through using the links, but the old site was started before WP existed, so you’ll have to do it via the index page.
Much of the later material on the site was collated and researched by Alec Bray who has put in a huge amount of effort. I’m very indebted to him, and also to the many people whose historical email posts provided the basis for his work.
Oh – and this is me
Bernie
