Another photo. The camera on the left is a Marconi Mk III: https://www.tvcameramuseum.org/marconi/mk3/index-1.html
The other camera is an EMI 2001 colour camera from 1968. 4 x 30mm Plumbicon tubes. The internal lens made it mechanically short which was loved by studio camera operators. However, unlike its great rival, the Marconi Mk VII, the choice of lenses was limited (2 types, both by Angenieux) and very few were sold outside the UK. It's mounted on a Vinten HP419 gas pedestal. Note the very chunky G101 camera cable. 101 cores and very heavy.
The TV is a Thorn 2000, the world's first all solid state colour TV. It belongs to Mike Bennett of Solihull who brought and demonstrated several interesting TVs for our enjoyment: https://www.oldtechnology.net/
The whole event was organised by Kaleidescope, with support from Birmingham City University.
