Fred says – “I worked at TVC for only a short period – 1994-95 (News Operations, Tech. Op., under Colin Clode) and 1997-98 (BBC Broadcast, Trainee Pres. Op). I also worked at Central in Birmingham and Anglia in Norwich, in multi-skilled roles; studio cameras, floor manager, V.T.\/Lines\/Traffic and vision control.\u00a0 I made my first visit to TVC in 1981 as a 15 year old – I knew the head chef in the restaurant block – Les Abel – he invited me down to TVC on a few occasions.<\/p>\n

Here’s his photo collection from down the years –<\/p>\n
