Blimey, I've just seen that Revox have launched a B77 Mk III Reel to Reel tape machine, only a mere 16,000 Euros.
If anyone wants to buy me a Christmas present .....
@wolfofx Paul Berriff is also the cameraman who was in a RAF SAR helicopter at the Piper Alpha disaster and was in another RAF SAR helicopter that crashed in the Scottish mountains.
He is a lucky and excellent cameraman, had the pleasure of meeting him at Granada TV.
@pagetpaget A Matter of Life and Death - 1950s UK film with David Niven - exceptional cinematography and Fxs for the year.
Leon, The Professional.
Weird Science.
Saddened to hear of @BeccyBarr1 passing, our paths crossed in Quay House. Stunned to see her joining @LancashireFRS, but following her Dads journey. Gobsmacked with her terminal announcement, but she was feisty until the end.
Using her own words
Bloody life. Urgh.
RIP Beccy
@MarkNuttall12 Certainly was, even though we were transferring rushes in Telecine, we would be rolling about laughing at those very disjointed scenes. Little did we known what a hit it would be.
@StevenSaul@ktsaoirsebryson In Oxford Rd, in CTA we used to get Star Trek audio alerts when the opt in was being done and out again, kept us on our toes during Breakfast.
I missed that at MediaCity, as different operations took place and they decided to close the iCTA.
@TalkingPicsTV I feel your pain, many years spent in Granada TV splicing or resplicing 16mm / 35mm rushes or programmes, so we could archive them. Some old Coronation St audio reels would start coning on the Sondor audio followers, we waited for them to fall off & start again !
@Claire_journo I doubt they'll be a legacy.
Too many elderly Tory Voters. Those who CBA'd voting full stop, thinking their vote isn't needed to make a change....
I still believe Brewster's Millions and vote for 'None of the Above' should be a valid option.
