I got to thinking about BBC colleagues mentioned by name in my diaries from 1963 to early 1970 – who and how many and so on. I have started going through the entries and putting the name mentioned on a spreadsheet.
We all knew and interacted with so many people back then!
Some names I recall well but others have become a mystery.
I have reached the end of 1967 now, and for the record, the individual totals are as follows:
1963 – 1967
| Admin & Allocations | 5 |
| Autocue Operators | 3 |
| TC Club Barmaid | 1 |

BBC TV was like a wonderful club – I guess I never had so many working acquaintances and/or friends at any one period ever again in my life. No wonder we all look back to those halcyon days with such happy memories.
