Great stuff!

On a DVD somewhere I have a special they did on the state of music tech at the time. They looked at the Fairlight, Prophet 5 and I think Francis Monkman and Martin Rushent are there somewhere.

Must dig it out...

I feel very old now.....I can remember both like they were yesterday....and now I've just found the Amiga introduction as well....

[Yago]

Indeed , like it was all yesterday

[Chevytraveller]

Yep, that's it. I have the whole program - I recall watching it as I transferred it from tape to DVD a few years ago. There's a lovely bit where Martin Rushent is explaining the wonders of the Fairlight at which point it crashes - priceless!

Lesley Judd was hotter when she did Magpie.
Don't know if they ever had any vintage electronica though

There are a lot of Blue Peter fans frowning right now...

Magpie, indeed!

But there was a certain Jenny Handley. Mmm...

On a slightly different note. I have a VERY old copy of a Blue Peter show on disk where the Mellotron is given a workout providing sound effects.

ooo er...confusing my educational kids TV presenters

Jenny Handley, that's the one I meant! No wonder Ms Judd didn't look as good as I remembered cuase it wasnt her I was thinking of!

thanks for putting me straight Elf.

I definitely wouldn't confuse a Mellotron and a ZX Spectrum though

Jenny was worth running home from school to watch, but let's not forget Magpie's Susan Stranks (the dark-haired one).

I always thought Mick Robertson looked so much like Queen's Brian May back in the Seventies.

Gosh, that brings back memories of 1980 or so when I was rather smitten by Sarah Greene

[Folderol]

Oh dear. Now we realy doo sound like the Darby and Joan club. Although I have to admit I was a Beeb and music 5000 guy myself.
P.S. I was fully employed and settled then however.

In my defence, I was only ten years old at the time

ITV was only good for Out of Town reruns and How.

What am I saying...

[The Elf]

Jack Hargreaves was the uncle we all wanted...

Absolutely. Even my dad thought he was brilliant.
