From Peter Cook

Peter is an outside broadcast cameraman, and has been for the last forty years, first for the BBC and latterly freelance like everybody else.

This is Peter during TO18's programme exercise on one of the Pye Mk3's they had at Evesham at that time. Everything on them was operated by servo, but unfortunately servo technology wasn't quite up to it yet, and they were terrible machines
And forty years on, with Geoff Hawkes and Bob Everitt at the Royal Albert Hall in 2004. This was Peter's first meeting with Geoff in all those forty years
This is half of TO18. I imagine it was the largest single intake tech-ops had seen or will see.
