Soldering with Adrian

A little clip from this appears in the Closure compilation. The Adrian of the title is Adrian Jones.

Still from Closure

This was not a programme or a short spoof. Sometime circa 1992/3, a number of techies were fixing things in [[P/X/002] on a Wednesday afternoon, and due to lack of space in the office/workshop, Adrian took whatever he was fixing into the studio to work on it. Some bright spark switched on a camera, pointed it at Adrian, and then went live to network...

The caption simply says "Soldering With Adrian" and the picture shows Adrian sat at a table, soldering. A scrolling caption invites viewers to ring YSTV on 2460 (amazingly still the same internal number as today) for soldering advice.

This acquired somewhat legendary status during the early 2000s at YSTV and in tribute a short segment of Off The Cuff in January 2004 was dedicated to "Soldering With Ed".
