The EMI 203

This handsome camera debuted in 1960 with a 4 1/2 inch Image Orthicon tube. Here, BBC veteran cameraman Ron Green is at the controls and both are riding the Vinten, Heron studio crane. A few weeks back I posted a photo of this lens model from Angenieux, which is made for use with turret cameras. The show is ‘Top Of The Pops’.

    Now based here in the UK, I can inform my fellow Yanks back across the pond that “Top Of The Pops” can be best described as the British version of “American Bandstand.” The long-running music show was broadcast on the BBC from 1964 to 2006.
