In Camera, 1964 - Jim Atkinson at work An excerpt from a 1964 'Wednesday Play', featuring a shot that became legendary among BBC cameramen for its technical daring and expert execution. Watch for the camera tracking Catherine Woodville as she walks round and round and round. People who were there at the time say this was the work of Jim Atkinson, one of the unsung heroes of British television. Tags: jim atkinson bbc camera television centre |

Lenny Kravitz, Friday at the Dome 1991 Here's Lenny Kravitz on Friday at the Dome, promoting his new single 'It Ain't Over Til It's Over' in 1991. The show is live, and so is Len, but the voice isn't quite up to scratch, so he storms off in a huff, leaving his backing band to plough on, utterly bemused. At the end, Craig Ferguson and Dave Fanning smooth matters over as well as they can, but the fact remains that 16 years ago, someone saying the F word on telly - even after the watershed - was still quite a big deal. Kravitz came back a few weeks later and did a number solo to make amends. Watch out for the keyboard player. For years, I thought it was Rowland Rivron and that the whole thing was an elaborate practical joke. Tags: Lenny Kravitz huff Friday at the Dome Dave Fanning battered. |

TOTP Orchestra - El Bimbo Johnny Pearson's TOTP orchestra playing 'El Bimbo' by Bimbo Jet in 1975. Not a great piece of music, but a superb clip for a game of spot the session legend. So far I've got: Clem Cattini on drums, Derek Warne on electric piano, Bobby Lamb and Rick Kennedy on trombones, Kenny Wheeler, Ian Hamer and Leon Calvert on trumpets. Not sure who the southpaw bassist is. Any thoughts? Tags: TOTP El Bimbo Johnny Pearson |

Johnny Harris Orchestra - Satisfaction - 1969 Here's a very fine and funky arrangement of 'Satisfaction', featuring a very young Harold Fisher on drums. Not sure who's on bass - I'd have said Herbie Flowers, but it doesn't look like him. Whoever it is plays up a storm. Tags: Johnny Harris TOTP Lulu Harold Fisher |

Buddy Rich, Kenny Everett, Roy Castle, Michael Parkinson... A magic moment in television history. The year is 1982, the show is Parkinson, the guests are Roy Castle, Kenny Everett and Buddy Rich. Plus a special surprise guest who makes his big entrance 2m 25s in. Explaining further would spoil the fun. Just watch it and enjoy it. Apologies for the rotten quality.
