Yes Jim was a martinet, but he could unquestionably do the job, and I 
quite enjoyed bashing for him and cooperating with is little games. He 
would nip off during an unimportant part of a rehearsal for a smoke in 
the tech store, and expected you to offer up his previously rehearsed 
shots when necessary. He would sneakily have a monitor close at hand so 
knew if you had got it wrong.

A harsh task-master in some respects but I learnt a lot very quickly. 
Perhaps I was lucky that I never got the ratty end of him.
