Pete Drummond and the VHF Band
celebrating 50 years of the BBC
Sorry, this video has been deleted at youtube. I was the first
one to see it (number of views showed as zero, on 2nd
December 2022) and possibly the last. Obviously the BBC were not
happy to see this at you tube... Pete looked fine in his black
and white face paint, along with his wife and various BBC
producers and staff in the VHF band.Hour 2
