Producer Adele Armstrong looks on, incredulous

Kings Cross St Pancras International

  • A life-size Tim Harford plastic action figure was used to draw a crowd
  • It wasn’t actually all that cold. Our engineers just really like anoraks
  • Producer Adele Armstrong looks on, incredulous
  • The man in the black beanie was gripped. The lady in the purple coat, not so much
  • Look at them. They loved it
  • This was a fairly serious bit.
  • The de-brief. No laughing matter, Tim
  • Engineer James listened to the new David Bowie record instead
  • There was a proper crowd. See?
  • Pre-recording announcements. Tim made light of them. But they are actually quite important
