Many thanks to Jonathan Marks who apprised me of this excellent 1960 film from the BBC. As Jonathan notes, it’s heavily scripted, but fascinating nonetheless.

Someone please tell me, who was the lady singing “Early One Morning” at the end (in colour,) on the stage in the pink dress? Was it Millicent Martin? She was truly beautiful!
Thomas,
A great program with historical significance. Thanks so much for bringing it to us.

Thomas, there was a comment today in the PL-880 Yahoo Group that newer PL-380 radios have a worse noise floor. Is this true and noticeable?
Hi Paul,
Hmmmm…first I’ve heard of this. A friend just bought a PL-380 and loves it. I’ll keep this in mind though.
