I'm pretty certain he was a studio manager rather than an engineer,
although the difference is fairly subtle.

I'm guessing it's fairly new? I didn't know of that site before. That'll
be added to the BritCom list I'm collating.

Cheers


I only found it last night, I remembered the clip, so went to see if I
could find it. Looks like a interesting site.

As soon as I heard this I remembered the voice from Happiness Stan, on
Ogden's Nut Gone Flake ... sure enough, it were he. Thanks for the memory!

Here's another item just about on topic for the group ...

A mention of him here, too, presumably as an obituary.

It'd be enjoyable to find more audio Unwin excerpts ...
