I worked in presentation at ATV London in the mid sixties along with Trevor Lucas ( and Norman Tozer). While there as Assistant Transmission Controller, I was often called upon to direct those continuity spots and short programmes, like Polic Five which originated at the ATV Foley Street studio.

In reply to Keith Brown.

Hi there Keith,
I think it was around 1972/4, I was stunned when I was told.
I was lucky enough to actually sit with him one evening at ATV Birmingham while he did his continuity piece live to camera – I was absolutely thrilled. He was a really lovely man – a gentleman.
I have a huge mounted colour photo of him that was on the walk ways in ATV I’ve kept it all these years 🙂

In reply to Danny Franks. I still remember Trevor Lucas our main man in the ATV London hot seat at weekends. He disappeared from ATV London in July 1968 to take up a role at ATV Midlands. I was 10 at the time. Please could you tell me roughly what year he passed away?

Trevor Lucas was my godfather & good friend of my father Nick Franks. He passed away when i was about 10.
