[QuadList] Missing ACR25

[Peter Ford]

George will appreciate this story.

We got a surprise visit from a government auditor at the Avalon TV Centre one day.  He picked some items from the asset register and asked to have a look at them.

One of the items he wanted to see was an ACR25 "Video Recorder".  VHS had just become available back then and I think he was expecting to see something similar.  One of my colleagues gasped and said "Oh no...were caught.  X took the machine home last night to play with it".

The auditor said where is X now.  We replied "He is on the night shift.  We could ask him to bring the ACR25 back when he comes in.  If you can come back after transmission closes at midnight we can show it to you then".

The auditor never came back.
