‘It’s alright leaving me …’ was a claim often heard down a crackly control line from a television technician like Geoff Hale in a far-flung foreign TV station, when a request had come from BBC London to explain some inferior pictures arriving back at the Television Centre in White City.
Between 1963 and 1998 Geoff worked as a Chief Picture Editor for BBC TV News, travelling all over the world and witnessing at first hand some of the major news stories of the time. Many books have been written of this period giving the TV Reporter’s account of these happenings, but in this fascinating book Geoff gives a technician’s eye view of some of the famous events which marked the end of the 20th century.
