Very true Iain. Now inform us just how you removed such clicks in the
analogue days long before you had a computer to do the work for you?

No self-respecting editor would want to do such work, so it was usually
given to trainees, who were instructed to "keep all the bits" (which
they did, numbered with white chinagraph pencil, and stuck to the front
of the tape machine with editing tape in the right order, until their
engineer or producer approved the job)

Ah. Forgot you never worked in the real world of broadcast. ;-)
