I have a fond memory of Norman Wisdom from my days as an Engineer at the old BBC Studios at South Western
House,Southampton.
In 1964 Norman became a director of Brighton and Hove Albion and was determined to make his presence felt on the pitch certainly at home games. South Today were of course keen to film  his first appearance ( I suspect the film has long ago disappeared) ....and somehow Norman managed to persuade the BBC in Southampton to help him edit the song 'Good old Sussex by the Sea' so that he could get the crowd to sing along ......and indeed he eventually wrote some rousing new words to the song which became a Terrace anthem. Anyway I was on duty the evening he came in and I spent a good two hours recording and cutting up tape to his direction. He had a good grasp of the technology such as it was in those days and without reverting to silly voices and clowning but in a very entertaining way he worked happily on the product and eventually went off into the night clutching his new version of the song.
It was a pleasure for a rookie engineer to work with him.

Nice to hear that F.M.
By the way South Today DID have the film..........I managed to catch it on line......you can see it at....

Going 'off the topic' ever so slightly I once met Christopher Lee.
I was working for TV sport at the time in Villnius, Lithuania of all places.
He was staying in the same hotel as we were and iIapproached him in the restaurant one evening.
He was filming an American youth series " I play a sort of Merlin character...I don't know why because its a Robin Hood series...it's rubbish!!" he told me.
Eventually I did manage to get him into our company where we spent an interesting evening talking about his Scottish grandmother, Muirfield golf club ( where he is a member ) James Bond movies and The Wicker Man..funny but Dracula never once cropped up in the conversation.
