"Mike, using one of these things, how long would it take you to test all of the welds in all of the pipes?" "Well you couldn't it's impossible." Thanks Mike.
Well, that catamaran thing certainly made a monumental impression on the World. Strangely they never seemed to know the World was going to be 'plunged into a climate disaster' a few years later. It's almost like it's a scam dreamt up in the last few years to make some select people very rich indeed.

38 years later ...... I can take high quality photographs on a pocket computer, and transmit them wirelessly to my PC (which now fits in the palm of my hand), and display them on an Ultra High Definition Flat TV! Amazing how fast technology advances?
0:56 - You can't make it out here, but Stage 5 was just opened in Feb 1988 but by May 1988 there was still some work going on, next to the Spur block which housed BBC Television News.
23:04 - "for the last few years I've seen a growing awareness that for a healthy diet meat should have less fat" - meaning we need to eat flesh to be healthy. How ignorant and uneducated one needs to be... Even for 1986 standards
0:58 - there is the Spur block, the addition made to BBC Television Centre in the late 60s and opened in 1969 when BBC Television News moved from Alexandra Palace to Television Centre.
After the cool,calm&collected BBC Breakfast Time which I absolutely loved and was 💯 better than the original version of TV AM/Good Morning Britain. Now it's the other way around and I much prefer the current version of Good Morning Britain. Daybreak was the brand new name (and ITV Breakfast Show was at one time going to be the new name )but they went back to GMB.
Today we just learned the terrible news that Steve has died. Rest in peace Steve. I was in this crowd and got to meet Steve during the show, such a nice guy.
Hi Neil I was wondering if you could help, I would appreciate, do you have a copy of another episode of Going Live on the same year (2 months later) 14th March 1992 , I appeared on Going Live through a phone in competition and played Feed the Dog computer game , I won a ghettoblaster. (Wet Wet Wet and Elefriends was also on the episode) I have been trying to find the episode for the last 30+ years BBC no longer have the episode. Thanks for your time. Craig
Sorry. I am 99.9% certain I don't. I didn't really record entire shows, just bits of interest like this, although I have got the last show. I am surprised the BBC don't have it though.
@neilogden thanks for your response appreciated, apparently the episode was recorded on 3 reels and the reel I appeared on has been lost.. thanks for your time, appreciated. Craig
It was much better when we had Bough and Selina Scott sneering at each other from adjacent sofas, separated only by jugs of scalding coffee that could potentially cause a "bad accident" should that sneering escalate into mindless violence.
