I was on his crew it may have been 19 ( not sure ) at the time &#8211; it would have been the late 60\u2019s when we did \u201cThe Young Generation show\u201d with Stuart Morris in the Television Theatre. It was a thirteen week run of Fridays and Saturdays. I was number 3 cameraman then on a pedestal camera in the middle of the stage. It was a very busy camera being in this case on the centre line. I remember rushing about all over the stage under Brian who was on the Mole Crane swooping above my head. Very exiting &#8211; we never did hit each other during the whole series. Lively and exciting days.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  For us oldies those were the great days of Television.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geoff Fletcher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Very sorry that Brian has left us. He was No.2 on Ken Major\u2019s Crew16 when I was DO1. We did a lot of Pugwash episodes at one time and with his beard Ken christened him Black Jake &#8211; a name that stuck until i left the crew some months later. He bore it very well. A lovely bloke to work with and know as a friend.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peter Hider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  I was also on Ken&#8217;s Crew with Brian. A really great person to work with. He always got on so well with Ken\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1721\" height=\"2371\" src=\"http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19702\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1.jpeg 1721w, http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1-218x300.jpeg 218w, http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1-743x1024.jpeg 743w, http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1-768x1058.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1-1115x1536.jpeg 1115w, http:\/\/tech-ops.co.uk\/next\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/word-image-19701-1-1487x2048.jpeg 1487w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1721px) 100vw, 1721px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  and as well as being a terrific cameraman, he was very knowledgeable on a lot of subjects.
