JJTee Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) As an aside, the BBC archive is well worth subscribing to…. Some superb stuff, not least John Noakes ascending Nelson’s Column. I have to say, it does look a tad phallic they way he’s playing it. Some wag has suggested renaming it the w@nkaphon… Edited May 20, 2023 by JJTee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidl e Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 It kind of reminds me of Les Claypool's Whamola 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTee Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Blue Peter missed a trick by not getting John Noakes to play the w@nkaphon atop Nelson’s Column. The Uber phallic imagery would have made the National Viewers and Listeners Association apoplectic. That REALLY would have been something for the BBC archive: Edited May 20, 2023 by JJTee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Nice! I remember that footage and even remember his sweater, but must admit I'd forgotten about the Kaleidophon up to now, so I guess nothing ever came of it. Many people did stuff like that with simple means, and, whilst absolutely commendable, most of the time nothing came of it. BTW 1, he's product placing his album White Noise 2. IMS it was a nice album. Must revisit and check. BTW 2, I just love that you can buy an EMS VCS3 for less than the price of a piece of plastic pipe. Count me in. 😀 Edited May 20, 2023 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
