  1. I don’t remember creating the art work for the BREAKAWAY promotion slide. Unfortunately, I do not have any idea who produced this work.

    1. Hi John! Lovely to hear from you: you work for Rediffusion is fantastic. The credit is what FUSION itself gives (I’ve been back and checked the physical magazine itself to make sure it’s not a transcription error by us), so I’m loathe to change it, despite having correct information ‘from the horse’s mouth’. Hopefully people will see your comment and understand!

    2. Hi John, did you, Tony Oldfield, Sydney King, Derek Cousins etc. contribute to TV Times before it went national in 1968?
