Good to hear you're fine. Is ICU the hospital? Happy convalescence,
Sylvia

I am curious to know when the job we now know as 'producer' was first
given that name. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that it's
anachronistic to apply the term to staff working at the BBC in the early
1930s (say).
Thanks
Allan
