From Mike Cotton

In the mid-eighties, BBC Recruitment made a video showing the work of camera crews and VT operators. These are some stills - Mike has sent me quite a few more, and the programme itself, so maybe more later.

Does anyone else have an ancient copy of this stashed away?

Mike Cotton has - The Blue Peter Book of Television, published about 1968 I think. It starred Crew 14 in Studio G Lime Grove

Dave Patterson on the back, with John Noakes in one of his more daring roles
- somehow the cameratape 14 stayed!
