The trusty EMI 2001s which were moved from TV Centre to Studio C at Elstree for the
start of EastEnders. This photo was taken on the last day they were used prior to moving in to
Stage One with four new Ikegami HL 55 cameras. I can't remember the exact year but it was sometime during the early 90s !
