From Doug Coldwell


Doug has been rooting around in the loft and found an old shoebox containing lots of slides taken on Anscochrome and Perutz Colour. It's an excellent find.....

coldwell_LSO1987_Gershwin_Concert_Fiddle_small.jpg Here is Doug - the one in the middle - in 1987, doing his best to look like the lead violinist for a performance of Gershwin by the London Symphony Orchestra   coldwell_TC1PlayforToday1965set_small.jpg This is a Play for Today in 1965, in TC1. Seems sort of odd to see a set from monochrome days in colour.
         
coldwell_TC1PlayforToday1965_small.jpg A different view, some ten-lights and a monitor in the foreground. Below is a Mole crain, but I don't know who it is on the front.   coldwell_BluePeter_DaveSkerry_RodneyTaylor1980_small.jpg This is Blue Peter in 1980, with cameramen Dave Skerry on the left and Rodney Taylor on the right.
         
coldwell_BPFrontCarPk_BrianWhite1979c_small.jpg Here's a Blue Peter bell ringing set up in the TC front car park. Brian White is the cameraman.   coldwell_BPFrontCarPk_DC1979a_small.jpg ...and Doug at the same place
         
coldwell_BPFrontCarPk_DC1979_small.jpg Another view   coldwell_BPFrontCarPk_DC_JFarr1979_small.jpg Doug is joined by John Farr (in "that jacket")
         
coldwell_BPGarden1979b_small.jpg Two views of the Blue Peter garden in 1979, Martin Kempton on the Vinten, with floor manager Derek Kibble just beyond the camera.   coldwell_BPGarden1979_small.jpg ...and Rod Taylor and probably Roger Goss on the left of this one.
         
coldwell_Playschool_Langford1980a_small.jpg Two views of the Playschool set in 1980, both featuring Peter Langford   coldwell_Playschool_Langford1980_small.jpg Note the line up chart, and a studio VT clock.
         
coldwell_NC1desk1966_small.jpg This is NC1, the BBC1 transmission control room in 1966   coldwell_PresAdesk1966_small.jpg Presentation Studio A in 1966, when it was monochrome and didn't have a proper vision mixer
         
coldwell_PresBdesk1966_small.jpg And Pres B from the same time   coldwell_TC1PlayforToday1965a_small.jpg A rather strange cameraman. This is TC1 camera 1 in 1966, an EMI 203.
