EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1970, where the enchanting world of television comes alive. The image captures make-up girl Hilary Steinberg meticulously putting the finishing touches to Susan Strank's hair before she graces the screen as one of the presenters of "Magpie". Susan is dressed in exquisite Georgian riding gear, ready to embark on a unique adventure. This particular moment holds even greater significance as it marks a historic occasion for Imber Court, the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch Training Establishment. For the first time since 1829, the Commissioner of Mounted Police has relinquished his exclusive right to name horses bought for Imber Court. The viewers of Thames Television's beloved programme "Magpie" were given an extraordinary opportunity - they were asked to suggest names for six recently acquired horses by Imber Court. This gesture not only engaged children and adults alike but also showcased how deeply intertwined entertainment and community participation can be. Alisdair Macdonald's expertly captured photograph transports us back in time, evoking nostalgia and curiosity about this era when television was at its peak. It reminds us that behind every glamorous presenter lies a dedicated team working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring joy into our living rooms. This remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates both innocence and excitement while highlighting an important milestone in broadcasting history – where imagination meets reality through screens big and small.
