It went from miming to records, to totally live performance, then on
to backing tracks with live singists and back to miming. ;-) All in
the few years I worked on it.

What was your role on TOTP ?

Why do you ask, Iain?

Please answer the question.


Perhaps you were "mistaken"?

It was a good programme. One would have
thought that anyone who had been a part in making
it would have been proud of doing so:-)


All along your main object seems to have been to take the **** out of the
BBC in various ways.

Incorrect. I fill my posts with links, pics, examples to support
what I write. The Studer/Neve discussion in which I lost
count of the number of times you shot yourself in the foot,
is a good example. Still I remained polite. It was so simple
for me: I turned the gain control down to 0dB and connect
an XLR-M with 1kHz at 0.775V and up it came.
It was far more difficult for you, without experience of either
console, trying hard to contradict anything I wrote. I
understand, but cannot sympathise with your difficulty:-)

I have no wish or need to demean the BBC, which I hold
in the greatest respect. There news coverage on BBC World
is second to none. The programmes on BBC Earth are
excellent. I was watching "War and Peace" last nigh
- absolultely first class.

But I feel sympathy for anyone trying to record music for
TV where sound is such a poor relation. You yourself have
talked recently about programmes on which you worked that
were made with no proper budget and inadequate time for
sound.
