That was a fun afternoon! Pub lunch, visit the ol' Beeb vehicle, back to the pub for more ... only blot on the day I seem to recall was Man City winning the Champions League final๐คฃ
Time flies - 3 years ago 2day author @CJ_kiwi met with a few of The Tripods crew in Cheshire, visiting the refurbished BBC OB scanner vehicle LPU1. 40 years earlier this very unit was used on series one's lengthy location shoots. Reunited: Jim Baker, Dave Edwards, Alan Taylor.
BBC TRIPODS fans - good luck for the final few hours of bidding. Still some absolute bargains to be had, with all proceeds going to @centrepointuk ... a great cause๐

40 years ago today Tripods cast and crew travelled to Dinorwig Power Station to begin a chilly week of location shooting for eps 5โ10 of series 2. Dinorwig was one of several locations in north Wales chosen to depict the industrial side of the Tripods' city.
