How many VT boys does it take to move a Quad?

Photos from Mike Bloore, no reproduction without permission.

These photos were taken at the switch off of the last Quad suite at Pebble Mill, circa 1984.

Pebble Mill’s Videotape Editors were a group of highly trained and skilled professionals – but there were some problems where even they had to resort to brute force! PAs sitting on top of 2″ Quad machine I suspect made the task to shifting it slightly harder, but a whole lot more enjoyable!

Included are: Mike Bloore, Nigel Evans, Ian Collins, Jim Gregory, Steve Critchlow, Chris Glover, John Burkill, Brian Comley, Jon Parker – and sitting atop – PA Sue Williams.

The following information was added on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:

Ray Lee: ‘It is an Ampex VR2000, VTB Cubicle and on the 6th photo you can just see through the marley door into VTC which is clearly equipped at this time.’

The photo was taken in the BBC Club bar in Dec 1998, when the staff Live Production Assistants left Pebble Mill. They include, left to right: Sue Williams, Jane Mclean, Anne Varley, Sylvia Lloyd.  The stop-watch cake was a very good idea!

Jane Mclean adds the following information: ‘The only thing I can tell you about it is that it was THE BEST PARTY EVER. And that not just from me!’
