QUEEN’S “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY”, THE STONES IN HYDE PARK, PLUS DAVID FROST: THE TV CAREER OF P.A. VICTORIA STURGESS
Manage episode 432226226 series 3584757
The latest edition of Behind the Scenes features the first of a two-part conversation with London Weekend Television and pop music video Production Assistant (Script Supervisor), the magnificent Victoria Sturgess.
In a career which started in the late 1960s she worked extensively with legendary director Bruce Gowers on innumerable LWT series, travelling the world with David Frost, and filming Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody” video. Victoria’s early career also involved working with Producer-Director Mike Mansfield covering so many iconic pop performances including the Blind Faith and Rolling Stones 1969 concerts in Hyde Park. She also kindly chats about her love of live TV and all its perils, along with averting a transmission near-disaster during the star-studded gala production marking LWT’s move from Wembley to the South Bank. And that’s all before she joined the London Weekend Sports Department, which is a whole new episode in itself.
Now living in Dorset and a passionate bibliophile, Victoria owns and runs one of the finest independent second-hand bookshops in the land, “Black Pug Books”.
