Me too, Dave. I always wondered how that desk could get so hot without bursting into flames.
Cheers,
Nick.

I have spent my life ever since trying to forget that Harrison pile of junk!

Dave,
I'm sure I'm not the only sound guy waiting to hear what Mike has to say. He was a real idol way back at the beginning of the 70's when the new sound department at London Weekend TV was trying hard to create exciting sounding audience shows, mainly sit-coms that were then a large part of our 'weekend' output. Mike produced the most exciting, upfront audience sound but still managed to get the dialogue through. We realised that the creative use of both audio compression and the fast control of that all important audience fader was the only way to give us the sound we required. The best user of this technique in our own group of Sound Supervisors was Vic Finch who had been bold enough to propel himself forward into the Supervisor chair at a young age.
Mike McCarthy continued making the best comedy audience show sound for years to come of course.What an amazing list of shows there are in his CV.

The promotion of the Eventbrite/RTS events, like the previous 60 Years of TVC are a little confusing I think. They are in fact the 'premier' of a YouTube video that's unveiled at the 'chosen time'. But I suppose it's a good way to build an audience instead of just uploading the video without any fanfare.As I say I look forward to this one and am so pleased to see Mike is stlll working sometimes

By the way David, I'd love to hear some of your own OB stories, since you've done such a variety of both major...and minor OB's during particularly your Trilion years in what were surely Europe's biggest OB vehicles.
Here's a pic of the second of your trucks, Unit 10 but I l always will remember Unit 9 with that 40 channel Harrison desk.
