Nikki DruceHOST
Of course I am.
CherylHOST
Well, the first ever entertainment radio broadcast came from Chelmsford in Essex, from the land of Mr Marconi and his radio invention.
CherylHOST
And also another invention he made came from Chelmsford and will be coming up on an episode or two in a few weeks time.
CherylHOST
It will indeed.
CherylHOST
Next up, the first colour digital photograph was again in Chelmsford from Michael Thompson and his team at the English Electric Valve Company.
CherylHOST
And they developed the technology behind what is regarded as the world's first colour digital photograph.
Nikki DruceHOST
Oh, that's exciting.
CherylHOST
Next up is the J2O.
Betty B.NARRATOR
About the middle of the 18th century, Eleazar Albin wrote A Natural History of Birds, in which he gives a very interesting account of the Curacao and an excellent illustration of the bird.
Betty B.NARRATOR
He says, I took a portrait of this bird at Chelmsford in Essex.
Betty B.NARRATOR
It was very tame and sociable, eating and drinking with any company.
Betty B.NARRATOR
The cock I had of a man from the West Indies.
DarrenHOST
And, uh, Essex seem to be suffering from injuries, international call-ups, and a vastly depleted squad.
DarrenHOST
Here's Dan Haggard to tell us about what he is watching down at Chelmsford.
DarrenHOST
Right, Essex have slipped to another disappointing, uh, defeat when possibly victory was there for the taking.
DarrenHOST
Similar circumstances to Surrey last week.
DarrenHOST
Um, this week it was Sussex.
DarrenHOST
And again, what was concerning to Essex supporters is that both games were at Chelmsford.
DarrenHOST
And if anything's going on at Chelmsford, Kit Man Dan is there to observe goings on.
DarrenHOST
Um, Dan, what did you make of these two games?
George DobellHOST
What is that? Where is that? Where does that come from, do you think?
Huw TurbervillGUEST
Well, I mean, this summer's been like that, hasn't it? When I was at Chelmsford the other day when, um, Sussex took seven Essex wickets for six runs, so [laughs] I dunno, just...
Huw TurbervillGUEST
Joe Root was talking about the lacquer on the ball, wasn't he? I don't, I don't know.
Huw TurbervillGUEST
It's, um, yeah.
David PracyGUEST
In all that time, he only ever had one minor government office, and that was a school chum of his who was running the department.
David PracyGUEST
so he was very much a backbench m p but a very conscientious one and the person really to whom we owe the club the founding of the club it was founded actually at shire hall in chelmsford in january eighteen seventy six And this year we had the 150th anniversary, which was quite an amazing event.
David PracyGUEST
It was in the cathedral, which is right next door.
David PracyGUEST
We had a terrific speech from Graham Gooch and one or two other people.
12 MINS LATER
David PracyGUEST
The best example probably is Pope and Smith.
David PracyGUEST
Dudley Pope and Peter Smith were professionals for Essex.
David PracyGUEST
who set up a sports firm in chelmsford which thrived for the best part of a hundred years until it unfortunately became a casualty of covid and sort of online buying so they were they were already they developed that business while they were still playing as professionals And they went on to, Peter Smith had quite a senior role in the army in World War II.
David PracyGUEST
Reg Taylor, who was another one of them, was the first cricketer to get the DFC.
Rick AinleyHOST
There's a guy who works down at the chip shop who swears he's Elvis, Kirstie McColl.
Rick AinleyHOST
Of course, when I lived in 81, I was in Chelmsford, Essex.
Rick AinleyHOST
The local chippy, I thought he was Lord Lucan.
Rick AinleyHOST
There's another memory maker.
Kevin PilgrimGUEST
Um, I live with my fiancée and our two boys, Hunter and Holden.
Kevin PilgrimGUEST
Uh, we live in Chelmsford in Essex, about 20, 25 miles outside of, uh, London.
Kevin PilgrimGUEST
Um, Hunter, our eldest, is now 10, um, and he was diagnosed with OCNDS back in 2021.
Eric FinnHOST
Great.
AaronHOST
An absolute classic, to say the least, where Surrey beat Yorkshire by just one wicket, with Josh Blake producing a heroic unbeaten 43 and Dan Worrell hitting the winning boundary.
AaronHOST
Not too far away, in Chelmsford, Sussex maintain their excellent county championship campaign.
AaronHOST
They beat Essex by 47 runs in that fixture.
AaronHOST
As for the game on the south coast, Warwickshire reinforced their title credentials by beating Hampshire by an innings and 129 runs at the Utility Bowl.
George DobellHOST
I'm just looking at who they've got.
George DobellHOST
They've got Essex at Chelmsford, which is a tough game, to be fair.
George DobellHOST
Um, and then they've got Leicestershire at Edgbaston, you know.
George DobellHOST
Uh, uh, so there's a lot that it could come down to.
Ben HydeHOST
James Ayling, sorry, Luke Ayling's the Leeds player.
Ben HydeHOST
James Ayling back at Chelmsford Chieftains.
Ben HydeHOST
He scored the
Katelin Norwood-PinerHOST
opener.
Ben HydeHOST
He scored the opener, didn't we? And we saw him play in the 4,000-count charity game and we were both just in awe at how good he still was.
Katelin Norwood-PinerHOST
He's going to do well this year for Chelmsford.
Katelin Norwood-PinerHOST
It's little additions like that that you probably weren't expecting and then you're like, wow.
Ben HydeHOST
Yeah, and I think similar to what Streatham have got with all that experience, someone with James' experience and James' ability... is a very, very hard player to play against.
