I think you may discover that this set of programmes were made by the
Mikron Maffia. :D
Fronted By Mark Williams - actor 1983-5
Produced and or directed By Mark Strickson - actor - 1980-81
Researched By Antony Burton - Chairman - 1980ish - 1996ish
Cameos by various other ex Mikron actors.
Not having seen the programmes I can't actually confirm this, but I did
hear tell via the grape vine, that it was thus.
Maybe some one with the correct technology could watch the credits.
