He clearly shared our interest in TV presentation.

He bought the rights to the name, Associated Rediffusion, which he used for his own programme company. TV idents also often appeared in his programmes. I remember well this feature from BBC2’s TV Hell Night.

Incidentally, does anyone know the origin of the ‘BBC END’ slide at the end? It looks authentic, unlike the mocked Modern Pig Farmer Today. I’ve always wondered where it came from.
