Keith Godman director of Boogie Outlaws died in July 2017. Janice Rider designed the Costumes and Myles Lang was Production Designer. Leslie Stewart wrote the script and Carol Parks produced. Janice remembers that, ‘Keith was tremendous fun but we shot in some gruelling freezing circumstances.’ Janice found Keith’s obituary on page 5 of this Parish newsletter, which captures his spirit so well.

The photo shows Radio WM Engineer, Rod Fawcett, with Chris Nelson and Tom Horsfield, adjusting the mast, on an outside broadcast in Birmingham’s Victoria Square. The radio car is a Montego. There was obviously some Victorian theme, hence the costumes.
The following comment was left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Andy Walters: ‘Those masts were awful. Looks like Tom is having a little difficulty there. Every so often a Journalist would drive under a low bridge and whack the antenna off the top of the stowed mast. The car that succeeded the one in the picture, a Peugeot 405 now resides in Coventry Motor Museum.’
