This article is from the Pebble Mill at One book, 1986. Studio director, Mark Kershaw, describes the challenges of broadcasting from the foyer studio, as well as explaining how the show is created and what the following roles contribute: vision mixer, director, producer, researchers, designer, lighting supervisor, senior camerman, sound supervisor, production assistant, floor managers.

Mark Kershaw is seen directing in the top photo. It is possibly Roger Hynes up the ladder is the lower photo.

The following comment was left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:

Andy Frizzell: ‘The line drawing looks like it’s from when they raised the ceiling (a godsend for lighting) and removed the inside canopy over the front doors (not so great, we used that to put all the ballasts for the HMI lights.’

Hi, Chris and Avril Rowlands have made the news with their enormous Christmas tree! Each year they raise money for charity through their Christmas lights.

Chris was a film editor and then Editing Organiser at Pebble Mill – and my boss for around 9 months in the late 1980s! Avril was a very well respected Production Assistant, and author on the subject.

Thanks to Ray Lee, for pointing out the story.
