The stories collected and presented in this volume by Denis Norden, Sybil Harper and Norma Gilbert all evoke the 'golden age' of television - the 1940s and 1950s, when practically every BBC and ITV programme went out live. There were no re-takes, no out-takes, no second chances. If an actor in a play made a mistake the entire viewing audience were witnesses.
Those who have contributed reminiscences to this volume were not actors. They were working at that time as cameramen, vision-mixers, producers, set designers, secretaries, make-up assistants, Floor Managers, costume designers, engineers - the people behind the scenes whose skills, hard work and resourcefulness were often the only things that kept a programme on the air when it ran into difficulties.
