  • Thirty years ago today, BBC1 and TWO were about to change their on-screen identities, so it was goodbye to the Computer Originated World that had been spinning since the start of Eastenders around 6 years earlier. Also uploaded is the BBC TWO closedown from the same night, where the announcer gives the vanishing logo a mention. Bring back the world I say...it has a sort of Oneness about it!

      One of the first things I ever searched UA-cam for was the CBS Late Movie theme from the 1970s. To this day that music takes me back to warm summer nights and the simplicity of adolescence.

    I used to work at BBC R&D and we kept the decomm'ed COW in a cupboard near my desk. Sadly one of those times before the ubiquity of smartphones that would have necessitated photos. I can't believe I don't have photos of half the stuff I saw.

    Hard to believe they made that globe animation in 1985, still looks great. (Of course, you could render it in real-time at higher resolution on your watch, these days.)

    The End of an era and the beginning of a sad decline that has led us to the dreadful oneness indents with groups of people looking bored. Where did it all go wrong?

    • @Blubatt
      @Blubatt 3 роки тому +4

      I wouldn't agree with that. Its more accurate to say that the real decline was the Rhythm and Movement ident package. That was dreck, The Circles were a slight incline, and then, as you say, the 'dreadful' oneness idents.

      @peterwilliamskelhorn6675 But he should've said good evening because midnight remains part of the evening (which may be extended to 5am) in accordance with the RadioTimes. At 5am, it turns into morning. Even radio presenters said "Good evening" between 12am and 5am, and that's the truth. Okay. But do not jump into conclusions where possible, please? Alright. Deal!!!
