Friday April 20th

Warm and Dry, again. I could get used to this.

 We checked out of the ‘Otel Kilim’ and went to the studio to advise on lighting a kind of I.T./ computing programme.

I also asked to look at a tape of yesterdays programme, which looked quite good, in spite of my interference! This was followed by lunch with the Head of Izmir Television. We said our goodbyes and headed for the airport. I think Izmir has got a lot to offer TRT in terms of enthusiasm and professionalism. gallery.jpg (21597 bytes) The vision control and lighting gallery would be familiar to any western L.D. in its layout. Best of all, lining up cameras and monitors on a chart.
An uneventful one-hour flight to Ankara and that was the end of another working day. I unpacked in my usual room, 114, and went to eat in the restaurant. Without exception, all the waiters came to see me as if I were a long lost friend. My musical friend, Orhan came over to tell me that he was off to the States on Wednesday to do a Turkish Evening for someone. All expenses paid and some free time as well. Nice one. air-1.jpg (25472 bytes) Boarding the 'shuttle' for Ankara
