The Motion Picture Research Council Camera Crane, manufactured by Mole-Richardson under licence, known as the MPRC Crane in official documents but universally known as the Mole Crane, was generally confined to the studios and never saw the light of day. What a surprise to see one in broad daylight in a Sky Atlantic production! Mind you, it was only as a prop!
Crane Training
Most of us learnt how to swing a Mole by watching, learning, and getting it wrong. Later, the BBC establishment instituted some training for the Mole crews, and here are some examples.
There was also a BBC film about Manual Handling – and this shows a Nike Crane and a Vinten ped in use, but there seems to be little in the way of manual handling training.
EastEnders
The episode for Thursday 28th April 2022 showed Jean Slater, who is bipolar, suffering with delusions in a manic phase, and chases round a funfair in Southend and then heads out to sea.
Karl Neilson was the director, and here he shares some insights into how the episode was conceived and shot.
Eidophor
First TO: What’s an Eido for?
Second TO: Ei dunno!
It wasn’t funny then, and certainly isn’t now
In the mid nineteen sixties, scheduled for the theatre, spending all afternoon and evening sitting in the circle next to a great grey-green greasy oily smelly smoky machine while a couple of worthy but dull old ladies are the subject of “This Is Your Life” – memories are made of this…

Lime Grove before the BBC
A booklet about the Gaumont-British studios (previously Gainsborough Studios) at Lime Grove surfaced a second time, this time provoking some interesting comments.
Roger Bunce and The Studio of Earthly Delights
Roger Bunce was a studio cameraman (including on Crew 14) but was also a talented artist, animator and writer of satirical comedy. Roger drew some excellent cartoons for the Guild of Television Cameramen’s early magazine.
Roger was fascinated by the weird and wonderful work of the Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516), and wondered what he would have made of a TV Studio as source of Earthly Delights
Spot the Error!
Bernie set a quiz question…Spot the Error!
Once again, a piece of historic television equipment was being used as a prop in the new television programme – but could it have worked?

TO 16 course
Mike DuBoulay has found the course schedule for T.O. 16
With this schedule, it is possible to give some sort of idea of what it was like at Wood Norton Hall at the time of T.O. 16. This page gathers together some existing images and material from around the Tech Ops site – and includes the Wood Norton Canteen Menu for the start of the course!
Was I really in the studio with – Yoko Ono?
Yet another day doing something to do with current affairs down in Lime Grove… it was only more than half a century later I realised who we had been working with that day!

Mike Jordan noted that the BBC Motion Graphics Archive had opened at Ravensbourne College. The Archive shows development of graphics across the BBC and includes examples of opening titles and promotion trailers. The “Dr Who” titles aroused interest, of course, and this led to a discussion about the pilot programmes for the series and the recordings of the versions of the opening episode.
Cleopatra
Did the exemplary cameraman , artist, animator and “Jackanory” director Roger Bunce have his head turned (as so many had) by the Queen of Egypt and turn his hand to writing a radio production about the asp-iring world dominatrix?
Comics and Cutaways
The children’s’ literature and the comics that we read when we were growing up. The cutaway drawings in the “Eagle” may have awakened an interest, but what could we say about “Little Plum your Redskin chum” or Desperate Dan and his cow pie?

Jude the Obscure
The change in television drama production from live studio performances with multiple cameras on theatre-style sets to on-location shot-by-shot shooting and full post-production similar to movie production methods was gradual and driven by developments on the technology of television, particularly in the reduction in size of the image pick up devices and the ability to record those images at broadcast quality. There were many steps along the way, and some memorable productions were created and broadcast. One such was “Jude the Obscure” in 1971.
The Man Outside
Another production using a mix of inserts from outside broadcast television units on location (instead of the previous film camera units) and studio based drama was “The Man Outside”.

Here is another issue of the e-zine that YOU write!
Topics 4 comes to you in the midst of the latest English four-week “lockdown” for Covid-19, as this second wave of the Covid-19 infection has hit: Wales has already had a two-week “circuit-breaker”, and Scotland has set up five tiers or restrictions.
All this was after a complete Summer of restricted access, restricted visits, restricted recreation and restricted socialisation. All TV programmes were affected in one way or another, whether in production or scheduling – and some older programmes were retransmitted to brighten up our days.
But there has been a bumper crop of Tech Ops recollections: it’s quite ironic that in these days of restricted travel, so many of the topics are about Outside Broadcasting and freelancing around the world – so enjoy!
Just a couple of notes: some pages may be short, to keep tight to the subject matter. Also, some stories might have appeared elsewhere on this website. Wherever possible, any duplication has been omitted, but there are times when it is easier to repeat the story than to keep cross-referencing to earlier tellings.
1950s and 1960s Adventure Series
Roger Bunce wondered whether other people had been reliving their childhood by watching those old adventure series of the 1950s and 1960s.
1968 BBC TV Production Planning Training Film
This page started with an extract from a BBC staff training film about production planning, moves on to a discussion of who gets a credit and discusses how “our” directors planned productions using matchboxes and string – not the fancy models in the training film!
A game of KIM
There’s more on nicknames elsewhere in this collection. This page concentrates on one person whose nickname was “Kim”. This page can easily be removed and not affect other pages.
An Historic Outside Broadcast
This has been “spun off” from the discussions about the origin of the name “Scanner”. It seems more than probable that the BBC did a live TV OB of the momentous occasion when Chamberlain, having flown between Heston Airfield and Munich for discussions with Hitler, famously returned to wave his piece of paper.

Bits of Our History
Bernie’s website – “our” website” – is a collection of personal reminiscences and stories about how we used to work. It’s the sort of history that does not make it into standard academic histories, but it is about the daily activities of people coping with everyday work in a programming-making framework. As Bernie says, it is terribly fragile. People will want to know how we did theatrical style multicamera live or as-live television – and only we can tell it as it was.

Colin Reid – An Appreciation
A quiet man with a calm demeanour, yet he kept a close watch on ‘youngsters’ with a quiet word after a programme if he thought the younger crew members could improve their performance.
Completely Shocking…
Something to do with that stuff that comes along wires and makes things work – or creates spitz and sparkens. Of course, some of it is static.
Continu….ity?
Sometimes the changeover between programmes is not as smooth as we would expect it to be. Which leads onto Jack Jackson’s Record Roundabout and a problem with a faxed quiz.

Director’s Viewfinder
The little device that showed to the director what the shot might look like. More useful in “pure” film than TV, where the director can directly see the camera output.
Ditty Box and Dollies
How did these slang terms come to be used in TV?
Duties Day-by-Day
One requirement of working irregular hours in Tech Ops was the need to keep a diary. Some of us, when we left TV and were freed of the need to keep track of the fortnight’s schedule, jettisoned the diaries ASAP: but those kept diaries can be very useful as well as bringing back memories.

More about Mother
Joan Marsden (“Mother”) was a floor manager for the “political” and newsy programmes. She was quite fierce but ran the studio with impeccable discipline.
Please also see other pages on the Tech Ops web site for more about Mother!
More Mole Stories
Remember how the tracker and swinger had to learn how to frame a shot by judging camera distance and angle – just by looking at the camera on the front. Later there was a monitor mounted on the crane, which made life easier.
A short page: but please also see other pages on the Tech Ops web site for more stories about Moles!
Multi-Coloured Swap Shop
One of Brian Dale’s Covid projects has been scanning thousands of 35mm colour slides, and here he shows some pics taken on a “Multi-Coloured Swap Shop”. Bernie also contributes to this page.
Nicknames
This page is not really about Tech Ops techniques – but more about crew cohesion, how we all managed to work together…
Not Everyone Likes “Strictly”
It may surprise many – given the viewing figures for the current season of “Strictly Come Dancing” – but not everybody likes the programme!
“Our World” – yet more about this programme!
David Taylor kicks off this page by writing that he was trying to produce an article about the TV side of the “All You Need Is Love” Beatles BBC TV segment done as part of “Our World”. Bernie Newnham produced a numbered version of the BBC crew photo for the Studio setup for “Our World”, and there are suggestions for the names for the numbers.

An Interesting Link to the Design of Television Centre
In connection with Television Centre at 60….
Nigel Norman was a keen pilot and formed a business partnership with Graham Dawbarn. Their company, Norman and Dawbarn designed many aerodrome terminals, such as Heston, Brooklands, Birmingham, Manchester, Jersey and Guernsey. After Sir Nigel’s death, Graham Dawbarn continued the business on his own and was invited to design a building for the BBC.
Early BBC TV OBs
The first BBC TV OB was the Coronation procession of King George VI.
Talk about jumping in at the deep end – having a Coronation as your shakedown programme for the first ever OB van.
The Old Man of Hoy
Perhaps the most ambitious de-rig of a Mobile Control Room that BBC TV OBs undertook was to televise the live climbing, in 1967, of the Old Man of Hoy, a vertical rock in the Orkney archipelago off the north coast of Scotland.
Watership Down
In our previous Topics we had pictures of walks that we had taken in the first lockdown. This walk came after Topics 3 had been issued – but led on to some interesting discussions about the skyline on certain views.

Zooming Around
Who hasn’t used Zoom during the Lockdowns and restricted socialisation? The Broadcast Networks have used it too, to host virtualised television programmes. How would we have coped without it?
This quickly degenerated into a discussion of wine and cheese …
Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on Topics 4 – Another Lockdown collection
On 23rd March 2020, the United Kingdom – as had happened with many other European countries and other countries Worldwide – was put into lockdown in an unprecedented step to attempt to limit the spread of CoronaVirus and the disease known as Corvid-19. Some closures and restrictions had happened before the 23rd, but on that day, the government directed people to stay at home except for essential purchases, essential work travel (if working from home was not possible), medical needs, one exercise per day (alone or with household members), and providing care for others.
Tech 1 Emails
Bernie Newnham reported on 1st May 2020:
“… I’ve kept all the Tech1 emails from the start. A while back I noticed that we were on 19000 or so, and I thought I’d mention the 20000th. Unfortunately I blinked, and we are now up to 20221 – 20222 including this one…”
Not all of these, your emails, have been included in the various Conversations and Topics as your emails not only cover every aspect of past and present work and working conditions, but more generally cover all aspects of going about our normal daily lives, then and now! In fact, really only a small percentage of your emails have made it into “Topics”, hopefully those which tell particular stories of Technical Operations, and report on techniques that we used. There is one exception this time: Walk Pictures! A response to the lockdown situation, prompted by Bernie.
Coronavirus (Corvid-19) and TV
The need to prevent contact between people to prevent the spread of this strange virus and its totally devastating effects on some people caused profound changes in the way that programme content was originated and delivered. This page notes just some of the effects of the virus on TV.
Walk Pictures
Initiated by Bernie, this is collection of photos taken on our walks during lockdown, highlighting some of the beauty of the British landscape.
Social Distancing
To prevent the spread of the virus, the reproduction number (R number) had to be brought down as low as possible. One way of doing this was to make sure that people kept away from each other.
Ationwid
The early days of “Nationwide” – and why it was known a “Ationwid”. Pictures from the (first) “Nationwide” Yacht Race.
Audience Unparticipation
For many of the BBC shows, there was a clamour for tickets to be in the audience – you had to apply to the ticket unit for the free tickets to see the popular shows.
However, not all shows enjoyed a warm and welcoming audience!

Boxing Clever
The first of three pages of recollections from the people of sound. This first one talks of rigging sound to get the best sound and atmosphere for boxing matches – particularly from the Albert Hall.
Bright Eyes
Not the title song from “Watership Down” …
Who invented “Bright Eyes” – a check for phantom power in mic lines? Phantom power is DC electric power transmitted through microphone cables to operate microphones that contain active electronic circuitry. It is best known as a convenient power source for condenser microphones, though many active direct boxes also use it.
The Sound of Football
The sound of boot hitting leather, the roar of the crowd, the chanting from the stadium – and the commentator trying to guide the viewer through the interleaving patterns of play on the pitch…
I’m on my way – where are we going?
“Tales of Misheard Directions” has been compiled by Pat Heigham. But it is not only geographical directions that get misheard or misinterpreted…
Programmes We Worked On
Notes on some of the programmes that we worked on.
Reuse, recycle, repair
In May 2020, the BBC published photographs of empty sets from well-k now BBC programmes – sets erected in the studio but before rehearsal. Interesting to see.
Stereoscopic Vision
The stereoscopic pictures shown in the Walks provoked an interesting discussion about stereoscopic vision…
3D Telly
… which led on to some thoughts on three-dimension television production.
Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss?

Colour Supplement
May is the month of Eurovision.
So there was only one possible candidate for the Colour Supplement: “Eurovision” (as it has become known – officially it’s “The Eurovision Song Contest”): bling and camp combined, but this year cancelled for the first time in its history.
This page collects some pictures past and present, and some background to the 1974 “Eurovision Song Contest” from Brighton – oh, and some cameras in shot.
Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on Topics 3 – The Coronavirus Issue
This collection of “Topics” – composed of emails written by BBC Technical Operators – was inspired by the comments of the Tech Ops group following the release of the film “1917”. This film tells the story of the day, 6th April 1917, when two soldiers are assigned to race against time to deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap. The director was Sam Mendes, and the screen-play was by Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns. The film is notable for “apparently” being one long single shot – the idea was to fully engage the audience with these two characters when really we know very little about them.
Rather artificially, the discussion of “1917” is split between the photography and the sound:
“1917” – The Sound of Silence
A very important piece by Alan Taylor introduces the topic of sound in film and television, starting with “1917” and discusses other soundscapes and sound supervisor contributions.
“1917” – An apparent single shot
There have been a number of single shot productions in both film and television. This article considers “1917” photography and other notable (single|)shots.

Presentation Times
Two pieces from Bernie.

The second one is Bernie’s take on the production of Christmas programme trails.
Special Feature: The Camera as Actor
Bernie Newnham’s daughter asked him to write down all the shows that he had ever worked on (for a specific project). He was trying to remember the series name of a documentary that he had worked on and typed his name into a search engine. To his surprise, his name came up in an entry about a book called “Exploring Television Acting”. One chapter in this book takes an academic look at the performance of the camera as an actor in the drama.
Quatermass Quiz
Some questions for you to answer, based around the last scene of the last episode of “Quatermass and the Pit”.
Studio Planning Stencils

Some of us would like to book a seat on Tardis back to a 1950s Christmas …
Back to the summer of 1986…
And while we are at it … a photo from the summer of 1986 provoked a discussion about cameras and crews and cheap cameras and no crews…
Doctor Who
And, of course, time travel automatically means a visit to the Doctor.
(N.B. the first series with Jodie Whittaker.)
Sangers Yard
The number of the early episodes of “Doctor Who” were telerecorded in Studio D, Lime Grove.
Lime Grove was an untidy collection of seemingly ad-hoc construction and alleys and yards, fire escapes and strange corners…
There was Sanger’s ?Yard…
More About Moles
There are always stories about the Mole Crane; This page also includes the “Code of Practice” for using the Mole.
Peds, Cranes and Mountings
David Lawson remembered a database that he compiled about 2000 giving data for most camera mountings available at that time, including and many from the history of camera peds, cranes and other mountings. It is written in hand coded HTML so is a bit crude by today’s standards but at least this one works. If anyone wants to take the data, upgrade it and make a proper database out of it, David says, feel free.
Roger Bunce also has produced a draft data book.

TV Theatre – trip and stories
We were invited to visit the newly refurbished Shepherd’s Bush Empire, known to us as the Television Theatre. Bernie Newnham has pictures of the visit.
Hugh Sheppard commented:
Lovely piccies of the onetime ‘TV Theatre’, but whither the back seats of the stalls? I can recall sitting there at tea-breaks circa 1960 with a 3-legged performer (and very nice chap) called Rolf… something-or-other. Maybe they all had to be taken out in case of contamination by association…
Vernon Dyer commented:
Empty, house lights or not, doesn’t it look different without the ramp, apron, etc. The refurbishment looks splendid – back to how it presumably looked in its music-hall heyday.
Lots of us worked in the television Theatre over the years. Here are some more tales – or should that be Mole tales…

Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on Topics Issue 2
This collection was created in response to a “crie de coeur” from Tony Nuttall – in the wilds of Cumbria – who wrote: “… superb explanations of Operational Techniques [for Sound Synchronisation]… and how to achieve them. I do hope that there is some way of incorporating these [descriptions] for future Sound chaps… A fine example of a BBC member of staff who encompassed all of his BBC training/production experience etc etc to provide exemplary sound…”
As Bernie Newnham commented, “…Indeed. We used to do all kinds of complicated things to make something happen . There’s a chap on YouTube showing how to sync up multiple cameras in … DaVinci Resolve. A few clicks and it’s done. Even in the early part of the non-linear editing age I spend forever doing that stuff…”
The first entry in this collection is “Sound and Sound Synchronisation – How it used to be done in the pre-digital Era” with contributions from Alan Taylor and Pat Heigham.
Sound and Sound Synchronisation – How it used to be done in the pre-digital Era
A description of sound synchronisation with specific references to the BBC TV production of “The Life and Loves of a She-Devil” (Alan Taylor) and the feature film musical “Fiddler on the Roof” (Pat Heigham).
Whatever you thought of him, Stewart Morris was an ambitiously imaginative and innovative director who got things done that stretched the limits of the technology and abilities of the time. Included in this tale is a story of sound synchronisation in real time on an as-live recording – steam powered television production.
Tech Ops in the Golden Age of Television
Telecine operation (initially at least), sound boom operation, vision control – all part of Technical Operations. Here you can find personal reminiscences of people working in these areas in the 1960s or so.
What you need to be a Boom Operator
Pat Heigham has written a “Job Description” or “Engineering Monograph” on what you need to be an outstanding Boom Operator. Pat has variously been a Boom Operator and Grams Op in (live) Television and a Boom Operator and Production Mixer in (Feature) Films. Alan Taylor develops this theme, and both tell of situations when “problems” occurred.
Tech Ops in the 1980s
