[Tech1] Different topic

[Hugh Sheppard]

And some of us, lucky enough to have known Rex Moorfoot as the man who 
'made' Television Presentation, may recall his edict that the patronage 
of 'We' and 'you' should have no place in the relationship of BBC-TV 
with its audience. For 'we' are but members of that audience ourselves, 
albeit in the fortunate position of knowing what delights are in store.

Those were the days, my friends.
