And the OSCAR goes to the microphone!!!

The BBC have an archive, not just of sound recordings and television recordings over the decades but also of equipment.

Here is an article about the microphones King George VI used and yes they still do work, perfectly.

Have a listen to two presenters using it.

Amazing, Tony. I am glad that King George VI is finally getting worldwide recognition over and beyond the part he played in his brother's drama.
