"The Breakfast time Crew shows the camera crew of the day on the set
of the 'red sofa' version of Breakfast Time (Frank Bough, Selina Scott era) when
the content was less 'hard-edged' news than nowadays.
It came from Studio E at
Lime Grove on the 4th floor and could be fairly busy at times with various music
numbers, cookery and fashion items and demos etc. Staying awake under those
circumstances was certainly easier! Considering the photo must have been taken
before transmission at say 5am I think we all look fairly alert.
Assuming it
shows all the camera crew (i.e. it was taken by someone else) we obviously
needed SEVEN people to operate the Four cameras on the show! Who ever mentioned
over-manning?
Anyway, the people shown are:
Standing (L to R): myself (Tim Capp) and Doug Beebe
Seated (L to R): Craig Jones (I think), Gerry Clapp, Chrissie Pulford, Ian Hider
and Giles Wooltorton" |
