In reply to Gordon Stainforth: Just discovered from a column Cubby writes on Scotland Online that the woman climbing with Joe on the Freak Out broadcast was Jackie Anthoine. The story below is amusing:
"When I started to achieve some of my goals in climbing, I occasionally worked on TV and film, predominately under the father figure of Scottish climbing - Hamish McInnes and his team of climbers (mainly Glencoe Mountain Rescue) who were appropriately known as Hamish's Mafia. Providing safety for film crews was our primary role but in addition we would often get involved in doubling, stunts and some even operated a camera. I became one of Hamish's Mafia, along with Murray Hamilton. Both of us as young up and coming climbers, were asked to participate alongside Joe Brown and Jackie Antoine in a live BBC outdoor broadcast titled Spacewalk and Freakout, named of course after the two Aonach Dubh classics in Glencoe.
It was great fun and very exciting being a star and getting helicoptered to and from the crag. From a climbers perspective the film will always be remembered for when Joe rather untimely criticised Murray for using chalk. Murray had just completed the crux of Spacewalk and was in a perfect position to retort. I don't think Joe expected either of the quiet young lads to reply but Murray with his public school upbringing and dry sense of humour, said something along the lines - "that's rich coming from you Joe...etc etc..." who was about to move from one etrier step and into another on the crux of Freakout. You have to remember that this was peak viewing time, early on a Saturday evening!"
