I came ashore in 1961 and went straight into TV studios - the industry buzzed with new machines and was short of technicians

On Diana Rigg, I recall how she sparkled at Iris Productions/ABC at Teddington Lock. Memorable days working on Avengers and Armchair Theatre with the wild director Ted Kotcheff and the inspired designer, Voytek (he who brought in an old horse-drawn hearse and made it into Steed's cocktail bar). They were great days to work in TV. Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman, Helen Shapiro, Billy Fury - they had character! I hope to get around to writing about those times.
