Pebble Mill Christmas Card

Thanks to Ruth Kiosses for sharing this Pebble Mill Christmas card. From the BBC logo, it looks like the card dates from the early 1990s.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Ruth Kiosses: ‘Found it in a box with my staff job offer letter pay scale etc from Kate Horton in HR and my pension info. The letter looks so ancient done on a type writer! Card definitely early 90s.’
Terry Powell: ‘It’s fab bringing back so many memories cheers’
Susan Astle: ‘Such happy and fun times….still miss it!’
Jim Woolley: ‘I Remember walking on the set of Howard’s Way.’
Terry Lindfield

I have been asked to pass on the news from Steve McLaughlin, via John Birkill, that Terry Lindfield sadly passed away last week from pneumonia. He will be sorely missed with that infectious laugh that used to ring out down the corridors of Pebble Mill.
John confirmed that he was the Project manager, in the mid 1980s, at Pebble Mill for the transition from Quad to 1″.
The photo above was taken in 1985 when he was a guest at my wedding to Ivor. Terry is second from right. (To avoid the quiz the others are from R-L Gail Herbert, Patricia Mifflin, Terry and Brian Watkiss).
He was quite a character that made his mark on Pebble Mill even though he was there for a short time along with Norman Hicks from London Special Projects Installation Dept.

Robert McGowan: ‘Is that John McEvoy in the fourth pic with hair?’
Mark Hellings: ‘I was probably at this party, but thanks to the rum punch have absolutely no recollection of it.’

Thanks to sound supervisor, Roger Guest, for sharing the script, and for keeping it safe all these years.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Keith Brook (Scouse): ‘That’s interesting. I thought I vision mixed that series. Was this before or after my sojourn into button pushing?’
Susan Astle: ‘Wish I could remember….as I worked on it!’
Lynn Cullimore: ‘I remember it very well – dancing in the courtyard and the guest were Joe Brown and dare I say Gary Glitter. Many years ago and I thought it was great. Wish I had worked on it.’
