The photos is from the second ‘Kinsey’ series. It features John Greening (1st AD) and Anthony Garner (director). It would have been taken from either the third or fourth episodes in the series – ‘Heads and Tails’ or ‘Drop Shot’, as the other episodes were directed by Richard Standeven.
The series was transmitted from 1992/11/03 – 1992/12/08 on BBC 1. It followed the maverick solicitor Neil Kinsey, played by Leigh Lawson. Barry Hanson was the executive producer, Carol Parks the producer, with Peter Gibbs writing the script.

These photos are from a Pebble Mill outside broadcast from May 1987. They feature VT engineer Paul Scholes, OB engineer Rod Bach, vision engineer John Bradley and PA Janet Redencowitz (sp?).
The outside broadcast was for the drama series: ‘Vanity Fair’, for which lighting director Dave Bushell was nominated for a BAFTA. The location was Heydon Hall or Thetford, both in Norfolk. The series was hosted at Pebble Mill, out of London.

This photo is of the location shoot for ‘The Golden Oldie Picture Show’ music video of the hit song, ‘Come Outside’. The song was a number one hit in 1962 for Mike Sarne, with vocals by actress Wendy Richard. There was a cover version by Judge Dread in 1975. I’m not sure which version G.O.P.S. used. The location for the shoot was at the Midlands Arts Centre, in Cannon Hill Park, Edgbaston.
‘The Golden Oldie Picture Show’ was an entertainment show consisting of specially shot music videos for hits which pre-dated the music video era. It was linked by Radio 1 DJ, Dave Lee Travis, and was produced at Pebble Mill by John King’s department. Gail Herbert was the production assistant on the series which ran from 1985-8.

Here are a couple of comments from the Facebook page:
Paul Taylor: ‘Ahhh….. that mythical term in modern TV… Production Values. Unless the value is in ££s, the accountants don’t care!’
Kevin Lakin: ‘Agreed, very much so Paul, creative people were moved out of management, and replaced with penny pinching accountants.’
