You've got to laugh! Published yesterday on the RX:TV/ website is an item with the headline Germans solve problem that's bugged TV viewers for years and there's this gem; Quote: On the 'clear speech' soundtrack, background music and sounds are played out more quietly. You mean with the sound balanced properly? |

Hi Janette, I have let one or two of your father's ex workmates know (all one time sparks at Lime Grove). Hopefully the word will get about. |

Hi Janette I remember your father, from his days in Lime Grove. I was a studio based cameraman but also used to go out on the road with him. It was always a pleasure to have Bert on the crew. I am so sorry for your loss. Bill Jenkin |
