Really odd that in the final days pre-rebrand Anglia had apparently become so unnecessarily embarrassed by their old look that they didn't use it at all outside of the clock, ident and production slide, to the point that their branding had become a messy mish-mash with various 'ANGLIA' captions in different fonts, alongside using Central's pseudo-corporate ITV brand on trailers and on the Telethon promo they had no branding at all...and then one of the few remaining bits of Knight pres complete with Handel's Water Music would re-appear for a junction.

Any info on the BBC East sound-only news bulletin at the start? I'm guessing that was during a strike or something.

I so wish could go back to then..the ITV channel reading out the birthdays, Blockbusters, Bob Holness...such great days

At 14:34 the tv-am closedown recorded from the London ITV region was from Monday the 26th of February 1990

I was 5/6 years old when theses aired.

The Poirot was from 25 February 1990

Channel 4 did a special French ident in 1994.

Hannington using channel 66 for channel 4 caused lots of problems, group B aerials were always fitted before channel 4 came along, if the channel allocation was followed at Hannington, then channel 4 would have used channel 52, but it was already in use in an adjoining area, better planning could have helped prevent this.

What date is it broadcast in?

8:34 - stunning (and, I suspect) underrated ident music for Anglia. Thanks for uploading. 👍

The 17th Century historical setting for Sesame Street was completely wrong. Kids did not dress like that in 1665!

I was 3/4/5 years old when theses aired on Anglia.

I was 4 years old. My family 1st Christmas in March Cambridge.

I actually remember this day clearly, as it was my eleventh birthday. Strange, as it’s it’s one of very few childhood birthdaysI vividly remember. I remember finishing school that day as if it was yesterday.

This is a very clean off the air recording, was it Betamax?

Loving these uploads! thanks. Ross from Norwich

27:26 You don't hear that said about Milton Keynes very often! 🤭🤣

I remember these links well as a youngster, RIP Katie

Where would the Blockbusters episude be played out from? Norwich possibly? Most other regions were a reigning Blockbusters Mon-Sat however some regions had a reduced Wed-Sat pattern instead due to their preference for Emmerdale Farm or Sons and Daughters at 5.15 on Mondays and Tuesdays.. this. episode would have been shown on on Border, , Tyne Tees, HTV, UTV, YTV, Granada, Central and possibly Thames some months before and would have been played out to those regions by Central.? Would Anglia and the others have simply recorded that playout and stored it for play out at a later date?

I remember the stupid leopard toy thing!

10:18 test

The next day 12 AM BBC NEWS 24 on BBC1 started.

I was 4 years old when theses aired.

Hello Ken from Stockport School - seems like a nice boy - Wonder how he is now?

Including, at 14:09, the classic J R Hartley 'Yellow Pages' advert.

6/2/88

The Mafia story has an interesting background about how British customs officers tracked them down: search "Operation Devotion".

Yeomen of the Guard on the blue caption was soon replaced by Euroline by Chris Evans-Ironside in the spring of 1989 right up until the 7th of August 1990 which was entirely different to Gilbert and Sullivan overtures. I’d assume Euroline was played in the early morning slot of 5.41am.

Much preferred the version of the Blockbusters game board here, with the incomplete hexagons forming the border, than the later modified one with full hexagons. This one looked way neater. The new one also created a continuity problem with the refreshed opening titles, as they launched those around the same time as the new board and was always mismatched with the way it looked in the intro to how it looked in the actual show.

The legend! (Both of them.) RIP Katie Glass.

Do you have the full That’s My Dog episode?

Next : Theme Central schedule (1986/1989) Recording not yet known

Why did you reupload this? Was there a video/audio glitch or something?

I don't think that NICAM answer was actually true was it? Every stereo VCR I used would down-mix the received NICAM signal to mono, so even the linear track would have contained the announcements. Switching NICAM off would have worked of course though. I know this for a fact with the specific Ferguson machine pictured, as when Bilsdale first went NICAM I had one of those machines. There were some technical issues afflicting Channel 4 where there would be loud glitches in the sound every couple of minutes - this was definitely recorded on the mono track on the VCR!

Cool!

Definitely before the 3rd April because Channel 4 Daily began on that date

Next : Theme central TV schedule 1986/1988 Read the description

Never heard the Anglia flag being called "hateful" before. I'd honestly love to see some footage from the final day of the Knight and the first day of the Flag. It must've been a very interesting transition (especially because Anglia dropped their old mechanical clock for an electronic one in the process).

4:24 So satisfying to hear a rare occurrence of the word 'laugh' pronounced correctly on TV. Where I was brought up, in Central land, we also don't have larfs or barfs, we have laffs and baffs.

Tyne Tees really did have issues with those GVG mixing sequencers in the news and continuity studios - you'll note that both coming out of, and wiping back into the titles there was sound dropout - this was more prominent in continuity but the one in studio 2 was prone to it as well. Went on like that for well over a decade!

Re Network North... in the 1991 franchise round, Tyne Tees made a commitment to putting out a full half hour news bulletin at 10:30 each night. They already had a ten minute or so opt-out in Northern Life for the south of the area. Granada (who were bidding against them) countered this by proposing a separate main news programme for the Bilsdale patch. When TTT merged with YTV one of the first things to be canned by Yorkshire was this late bulletin. It messed up their plans for a common schedule and was considered too costly. But the ITC pointed out that this extra programme was part of a commitment to increase the regional hours put out in the NE. The compromise was to implement Granada's proposal instead, something that had proven popular in market research. But, the YTV proposal was to put this programme out on both Tyne Tees South and a number of relays and the Hull sub-region of YTV. They even moved some of the YTV news team to the new programme. This was nixed by the ITC quite late in the day and Network North was only ever shown on Tyne Tees even though local press advertised it as being on Yorkshire as well for quite some time. My suspicion is that YTV didn't give up on their desire to show the programme on some YTV transmitters and the promotion in the press was a placeholder. When the whole thing was abandoned in 1996, Tyne Tees then went back to shorter optouts for Bilsdale and the shortfall in hours was made up for by increasing the main bulletin to a full hour. The nearest they ever got to the original proposal came in 2001-2 when the main show was reduced back to a half hour, with opt-outs, and a lunchtime bulletin/magazine show "North East Today" was put out for a while (also with separate shows for Bilsdale). All of these were variations on a theme of fulfilling the original commitment.

For the Christmas Day 1988 ITV schedule, I remember watching all those shows that morning, Mickey's Christmas Carol (recorded it on VHS!) and Dumbo in the afternoon (also taped it!). Was a kid then, so those were special memories of a special day opening toys and games with parents. Thanks for sharing these uploads :)

1st bit was 1987

9/10 NOV 1997

1:01 what on earth is that Anglia slide? I've never seen them use a logo like that.

TV like we'll sadly never see it again.

So I've looked up the dates on Genome, and while it only has a generic description (all the others have show specific descriptions, none of which match what's going on in this edition), this is most likely from 26th March 1987.

This will be from 1995, yes. Between 5th June (that's when that ITN title sequence was introduced) and the end of the year when Network North was dropped.

Loved this programme back in the day. Judith Hann + powered rollerskates = big laughs :)

B.C!! My childhood.. 😊
