Colin Palmer was then the editor of Felix having already appeared on STOIC several times. Adrian Jeakings chatted to Colin about the beginnings of the newspaper and we had an actual copy of the very first edition to show just how very basic it was back then in 1949. They even discuss the Felix cat!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Colin Palmer was indeed no stranger to appearing on camera having covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/pram-race-with-willie-rushton-1978\/\">Pram Race in 1978<\/a>.
