Anyone out there from Tel.OBs - Kendal Avenue. Particularly anyone who worked there during the 70s and 80s.

just read your message, I worked at KA from 1970 to 1991, you don't give any hint as to who you are but I would think you may remember me, I worked first for Roy Bertram and Geoff Dawe and went on to work in the Planning Office. Hope you log on again to receive this reply. Diamondlil!

Roger,
Would you remember one John King, who was lecturing to us "students" at WN around then?
I thought he went to Tel OBs but (sadly) have never heard more of him. He was a very joyous fellow ISTR.

John King is very much on the scene. Although retired from the BBC he still freelances as an EM for SiS Live.

Firstly, my belated thanks to those who remembered John King. Never did hear from him though. Ah well: he probably wants to forget it all now - but if anyone sees him around, please offer him "Best Wishes from Tony Giles". He'll know!
The other WN instructor of that day was John(?) Hart - I think he may have been an Anzac, but he's equally gone off radar. Anyone here remember him?
And since folks around here appear to have their memory caps on(!) another fellow I'd like to know if anyone has connections with is "Chris White". He joined with myself, in '68 and although destined for LCR initially, he moved over to TV and I believe may have become a Floor Manager around the beginning of the 70s. I did hear that he may have gone over to Tel OBs, but that was (or may have been) just a rumour.
Quite a tall fellow (by my rather short-arsed standards anyway!), with thick curly blond-ish hair, as I recall. Really nice chap.
Of course I must add my condolences to all ex-Tel OBs folk, that the Beeb should so roundly sh1t on them after firstly forcing them to become part of SiSlive and then give them no credit for being best at the job, preferring that bastard Birt's dogma about "Cost before anything!"
I saw Andy Hame's plea to all to sign the petition which they want to take to Tony Hall to see whether there's any room for the ex-Beeb-ers to get some work in the forthcoming years. Especially in light of the sterling job they did for the Beeb Sports over the Olympics last year.

I remember John King well as a lecturer at Wood Norton when I was on my TA course in 1968. He went on to become an EM at Tel OBs and I used to meet him regularly when he came to Scotland to EM the rugby at Murrayfield. I think he may have kept on doing this after his retirement.

Here's a quick hello from Alan Taylor ( Sound Supervisor ). I was at K.A. between 1968 and 1989 and remember most of the people named here, or who have said who they are.
Still freelancing, still being a pain in the arse, still enjoying life.
Always delighted to hear from anybody from that era. Happy days
With regards to John King, when I joined the BBC he was one of my lecturers at Wood Norton. He came to ( or was it rejoined? ) KA shortly after I did and many years later we both worked together our first drama as heads of our respective departments. We went on to do many more dramas and always had a great deal of fun. I've occasionally bumped into him freelancing, or even in the street in totally unexpected places.
