The STOIC Rover
I’d been given the Rover by some kinds chaps at STOIC when they were clearing out the studios some years back. However when I moved house 2 years ago it went missing.
I bumped into the new owner of my old place and he mentioned he’d found an extremely old and heavy video recorder. I immediately knew it must be the rover, or Sony VO-600PS to give it’s proper name.
Sadly it’s missing a bit of fascia on the top, but apart from that appears in “as new” condition… There’s even a tape inside. Wonder what’s on it…

The new Star Trek film, “Star Trek” goes on general release on 8th May. The new movie charts the early days of the starship Enterprise, with original Spock Leonard Nimoy in a cameo role.
Some years ago William Shatner was asked how he responds to those eager types who, on a daily basis, for more than four decades, have persisted in addressing him as “Captain Kirk”. With presence of mind, he said. “But usually, it’s, ‘Go f*** off.’ ”
We look forward to getting a first review from keen PSTOIC trekkies.

As you may know, we’ve uploaded some short STOIC programmes to YouTube.
Also on YouTube is Imperial College Television Studio. We had a lovely email from Steve Bell who was an active member of STOIC when it was based in ICTV. I’m copying it in full here.
Hi, Rex,I worked with Colin in the time of Mike Southern, Clive Dewey, Selwyn Castleden and just into the Mark Cauldwell era. For example, I was running telecine for the James Burke interview, so you could say it was early(ish) days!
If you watch the “Topic” intro from January 1974 (!) mine is the first voice and face you see and hear. I can hardly believe it myself.
Colin will have many more stories than I have – he’s spent his entire working life with the IC Television Studio – every minute of it! 
He has quite a few clips, too – including that ‘74 intro! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ztKTJdxXl6c
Pstoic looks very interesting. I will visit from time to time, but I doubt I have much to add. Good luck with the general Stoic Alumni project.
Best Wishes,
Steve Bell.
