I can remember when the studio clock was stuck during a late night programme
phoning the porter's desk asking them what the time was (on the asusmption
that if you want to know anything you asked a porter). "Are you having a
bleedin' laugh sonny?" "No I'm on air and the clock has broken and I need to
reset it before the next record finishes"
