Pebble Mill at One running order – Kevin Lakin

Thanks to Kevin Lakin for keeping this marked up running order of  a 1984 edition of ‘Pebble Mill at One’ safe in his attic for the last 27 years!

Kevin was the floor assistant at that time, and his main job was getting presenters and guests from make-up, wardrobe, canteen, bar, green room and on to the studio floor at the right time. Item no 2 and 7a are crossed out because they were pre-recorded in the morning, that’s why there’s a VT in the box.

Roger Casstles was the producer of the show, and the presenters Paul Coia, Marian Foster and Jeff Banks.   The show featured Princess Anne, Earl Okin, John Curry as well as Peter Seabrook planting lettuce!  Sounds like a packed show!

These photos were taken at a location recording for Pebble Mill At One. We spent all day at The Severn Valley Railway. I can’t remember the date but we all had a very good day. The singer is Ralph McTell.

Amongst the photos I can spot Pebble Mill at One Editor, Steve Weddle with presenter Marian Foster; multi camera director, Sue Robinson; producer, Clare Stride.

Please post a comment if you can identify other people in the photos, or give a date!
