Greetings All -
I'm working at Al Jazeera in Qatar, though technically based in Dubai. I Joined BBC as a Studio Manager in World Service in 74 and left as a Training Manager at Wood Norton in 95, having done lots of things in between. I've been in the Gulf for about 8 years, though home is still not very far from Wood Norton. I see plenty of familiar names on this forum, but so far not on this thread.

That's perhaps because we're not all ex-pats, Dave!
Glad to hear you're still enjoying life, even if it's a long way from the former ETD!

Hello, Tom Hidderley here. I joined the BBC in Bush House in 1964 as a TechOp. I was assigned to TO course #22 in 1965 and returned to LCR as a TO. We were converted to SMs in 1967 and I left in 1970 for the Anglo American film unit in Zambia on a five year contract. I moved to Toronto Canada in 1975 and have been freelancing here ever since. I finally retired in 2017 and am enjoying life, as an expat, here in London Ontario.
