[Tech1] LG

[Nick Ware]

It’s true about the Studio F tank. I remember being told it couldn’t be used as a TV studio because the floor wouldn’t take the weight.
Sadly, I couldn’t make it to Ickenham today. We have decorators in ATM and kitchen and bathroom planners, and on top of all that, double glazing repairs. Tempted to leave them all to it, but thought better not.
Hope somebody took pix.
Cheers,
Nick.

When I was taken to LG on my first day at TVC, having to transferred to TVC from Brum radio, Laurie Duly told me that Studio 'F' had contained the water tank for the 'Cruel Sea' movie in the Gaumont days there (and also 'Morning Departure', another sea-warfare film). It was certainly used as a props store in my time and also where we stored the TOTP Vox amps and loudspeakers when the MU insisted that miming was out and the groups had use real equipment! Then ensued a big arguement with the scene boys insisting that such equipment was props and we insisted it was sound gear!!! Thinking back, looking at the sound-proofing of the walls it must have been very dodgy to say the least, although it was probably before asbestos has been invented! Cheers, Dave. PS Just had a most pleasurable lunch in Ickenham where there was an amazing attendance of John Barlow and Geoff Feld! I told Geoff that it must be a TV5 reunion! Happy Days!
