Anita Wood - one of the first tv presenters on Chrystal. She did the Saturday afternoon shift. Originally from Eckington in Derbyshire, where is she now?
Andy Caine asleep on the right, with unknown presenters...any ideas?
An interview with Alan 'Fluff' Freeman.. all right pop pickers?.. Not 'arf! 1993
Stage view at a Sheffield Show. Wayne on camera with Jenny Scott cable bashing. This was the year Princess Diana died and on that weekend the Sunday show was cancelled.
Me with Jamie and my dad. About 1993
All I know is that the girl facing the camera was Joanne bestall (?) from Dronfield.. Radio side I think.

Paul Tilbrook Live on radio and tv 'interviewing' a passing punter. It worked well until he was told to f%*!" Off..
The Radio studio from the other side - Telco unit near the camera, cart wall near the window and a confused looking Sophie O'Brien.
November 1991 - Chrystal Television opening ceremony. Laurance forgetting where the microphone was (again).
The original Chrystal Radio studio with the Soundtech desk, CDI player, turntable and cart machines. The hospital amps are in the far right... They kept you warm in the cold winter nights!
Another day at Chrystal.. In the old Gold Studio me thinks.
Wayne on camera doing a live ob from the Sheffield Show - The group?
James McCourt, he now does the BBC Lottery show with Dale Winton... He's also worked at Disney and was in a pop group with the song 'what's going on?'.. Remember that ;)
The Chrystal Television Logo - Remember the 3 minute intro?..I'll pop it here when I get time.
Richard McCourt - Pre BBC. Year?
A group shot from left : Jenny Scott, Louise Cranstone, Elissa Taylor, Fran ?, ?, Chris Darlow. Front Row : ?, Wayne Parkes, Christian Bennett, Andy Etheridge, ?, ?
Chris Darlow (before Hallam and Magic AM)
Trying to remember the guy in the background, any ideas?
A better view of the CHB sign. Nice...
Andy 'Stubbs' Caine (or as we knew him 'caine in the arse').. A character who worked at Chrystal during the late 90's. Famous for knocking his tooth out during a live tv broadcast and going up in flames whilst doing a live outside broadcast.. Fantastic!
Laurance and the late Tony Capstick at the Aston Hall fundraiser. We raised over £8,000 on the night.
His name is Lovey - and he is still in charge. Laurance doing his 'Northern Radio' pose - I'll tell you what - he'd kiss you if you were a woman.. Hey Paul?
The old TV Studio with weekend presenters Sarah and Haidee. (1994?)
Party in the Park crowd view. Behind that big stage was a little caravan, and inside that, an even smaller Andy Etheridge. The biggest OB we ever did.
The Chrystal TV control room (1991). Richard McCourt is nearer the camera and Kerry Woolf on the vision mixer. Richard is now on the BBC as part of Dick 'n' Dom. We always thought of him as a dick..not a dom.
Ant and Dec on stage at the Party in the Park - a show which was broadcast live on Hallam FM. Me on stage left with the camera, someone cable bashing (forgotten name, sorry). It was a multi camera, live programme with (R)andy Etheridge doing the vision mixing with 6 cameras.
The old Chrystal Sign - now removed. The original Chrystal Radio studio was located behind the window at the top left of the building, near to the tower. Under the tower was the Chrystal TV studio's - now the radio studio.. did you get that?
Me on camera and the back of Paul Tilbrook broadcasting a live programme on CTV. By the looks of it, a weekend tv show from Western Bank (opposite the hospital).
OK, everything I find related to Chrystal will be posted here. If you are ex Chrystal - please get in touch and if you've got any material let's have it so we can create a collective archive right here.
