A visit to VT -
Here's editor Andy Quested in VT9, working on Children in Need in 1982. This was the era of change-over from 2" to 1" - as you can see in the picture right.... |
  |
|
.... where VT10 still has a 2" machine next to its 1" which is edge of the picture.
Dave Rixon, brother of lighting director Alan, is second left. |

This is early '80s - Breakfast Time in Studio E Lime Grove. |
  |
|
This is BT VT with an editor who's name I don't know.
When I (Bernie) was TV Features Producer on BT, we edited our packages on these machines. Sometimes I'd put the presenter in vision here between the machines and pre-record the whole lot
with the help of cameramen like Dick Greening. Once we heaved a Dalek up four flights of stairs and had the office secretary drive it in to shot to introduce a new Dr Who series. |
