YTVs iconic start up theme absolutely brilliant
Quite a few strikes took place over 1979 or so that impacted telly and radio!
One affecting the BBC saw some programmes either not broadcast or replaced by something else - I remember Tomorrow’s World not being broadcast (can’t remember what replaced it) and that week’s edition of Top Of The Pops, which followed it, was replaced by an edition from a year previously (this was in 1978 and a David Hamilton-fronted edition from 1977 went out in its place!).
Another strike affected both telly and radio, with no programmes at all on either BBC 1 or BBC 2 - just apology captions over a still picture of a Christmas tree, with baubles and tinsel (this was around Christmas time) - meanwhile, radio put out an all-network service, which seemed weird at the time - pop music on Radios 2, 3 and 4, music of any kind on Radio 4, other than programme themes and panel games featuring music, speech programmes on anything other than Radio 4, classical music on Radio 1, that sort of thing!
There was a strike at Tyne Tees that saw no locally sourced material - network programmes went out, but adverts were replaced by a silent apology caption - any programmes broadcast after News At Ten that were exclusive to Tyne Tees didn’t go out and were replaced by the apology caption - imports, films, off-network repeats and so on - even Northern Life, the local news programme (although they still got the soaps!).
There was a similar strike at Yorkshire Television over Christmas that prevented the Christmas edition of 3-2-1 from going out - it was replaced by Carry On Follow That Camel - 3-2-1 eventually found itself airing in the summer - all that Christmas themed stuff going out in the summer - could not be helped!
Then we had that big strike in 1979!
The BBC strike in December 1978 was the one you are thinking of. During November 1978 the unions did "wildcat" strikes all leading up to their pre Christmas strike. They knew if they saved the full industrial action to before Christmas, they could ruin BBC Christmas schedules. On 20th December 1978 the unions struck their first hammer blow by knocking BBC One and BBC Two off air. After two days off air, management were desperate to keep their Christmas schedules, with Bill Cotton putting together an emergency schedule for BBC One and BBC Two if necessary. However management agreed to talk with the unions, and they went to ACAS to discuss terms. However to make sure the BBC did not have it easy, the unions called out radio staff at 4.00pm on Friday 22nd December - forcing BBC Radio to merge Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4 into a one all network radio station. BBC Radio had to stay on air, and unions allowed a management run schedule, just in case of an extreme emergency event. At 9.00pm the unions and BBC agreed a pay deal, with the BBC claiming Christmas on the BBC saved. BBC One returned at 3.00pm on Saturday 23rd, with BBC Two back earlier at 1.30pm. BBC All Network Radio continued until 2.05am, with the four main stations resuming in the morning.
I don’t recall that particular Tyne Tees strike - I remember TTT being blacked out altogether one day in August 1985, and no adverts inserted into Channel Four in the region that day. TTT relied on the Thames feed for some of their imported soaps like The Sullivans and Sons and Daughters, and were often forced to replace these due to disputes at Thames, as well as all of Thames’s own networked material. Interesting days.
Today Thursday 24th October 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the return of ITV after the strike - what a day that was in 1979, for millions of viewers who were sick to the back teeth of the dismal offerings on BBC One and BBC Two, especially their daytime schedules (or lack of).
John King And it was the aftermath of that 11-week ITV strike that led to the creation of Channel Four three years later.
And then 3-2-1 came on and everybody switched back to the BBC!
@KStarCLG While here in the States during the strike, cable TV was slowly but surely penetrating millions of homes; ESPN had just debuted and there was already HBO, Showtime, TBS, and the channel that would evolve into Freeform, with much more to come (CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, etc.) as the ‘70s became the ‘80s.
@KStarCLG Channel 4 has never been paid by the licence fee.
The ITV companies exclusively funded it at the time, if it made any losses, the ITV companies subsidised it and if it made an operating profit, the ITV companies took the profit.
@@stickytapenrust6869 Almost not true, It nearly did get some funding from the licence fee in 2007. But the government scuppered it.
Used to pretend to conduct the music when I was a kid with a knitting needle in my right hand…
And then came the 1979 strike which for 11 weeks blacked out the entire ITV network apart from the channel islands regions. Yorkshire viewers thought they had a crap Christmas of 78, now their summer of 79 was just as bad, even worse. Lucky viewers who could pick up neighbouring regions with spill over signal in December 1978 were lucky, able to enjoy ITV through Christmas 78, even though the picture could be snowy or hazy.
Good Evening, This is John Crosse on behalf of everyone at Yorkshire Television saying welcome back to our programmes. In one minute there'll be a full rundown of tonight's events which include at 8 o'Clock the first of YTV's new series of 3.2.1. Meanwhile it's good to be back on the air and good to have you with us.
Yeah I've got ears bud.
Would have been nice if they had Redvers Kyle announcing YTVs return. He was the voice of Yorkshire Television.
The start-up tune ought to be the all-Yorkshire National Anthem.
It is to us in Yorkshire who are old enough to remember this start up sequence.
Bearing in mind it is based on Ilkla Moor B'ah Tat, it already is!
The "T", "H", and "S" of "THAMES" on the clock though
Thames were providing the schedule, as the other ITV companies were not ready to fulfil full scheduling on their own. Thames provided the basic return schedule for the first day including networked continuity, so each region decided whether they would do continuity or simply hand it over to Thames.
This is Yorkshire Television,Resuming broadcasting on the Emley Moor and associated transmitters of the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
0:31
I remember the TISWAS episode taking the piss mercilessly out of "Welcome Home to ITV". Had me in stitches from start to finish!
A link?
@misterdocuk Credit me with some intelligence! I've looked but so far, it isn't here on YT, but I assure you I saw it at the time...
@@jatlarge6354I think i’ve managed to find it and it is up on youtube, TISWAS 3/11/79 and the timestamp for the pisstake is 8:00
ua-cam.com/video/3LNq-sxis1U/v-deo.htmlsi=S5TzcyIIJlrjIb9M - Amazingly the episode still exists and the parody can be heard at 27:38
This is Television March used by Yorkshire Television to start their daily broadcasts. It was issued on a TV themes compilation cassette Sounds Visual by Radio Six.
Composed by Ron Goodwin I believe.
Excellent tune.
This is great to see as I remember HTV and ATV having their opening sequences before having to switch the TV off to get in the car, so didn't see what happened following them.
The only other upload I've seen appears from Thames who, strangely enough, omitted their opening sequence and theme.
Makes you feel proud to be a Yorkshireman
I like the Thames TV clock being used with ITV in place of the word Thames !
You can barely read the "THAMES" logo behind it too! Might've been burned into the camera tube itself!
The clock was quickly cobbled together for the temporary emergency post strike schedule.
@@anthonyperkins7556 as the time when it’s broadcast after the strike, Thames decided to run the programs to other regions.
@@khangphamchannel016 They had to do this for a few days till the ITV companies were fully ready to opt out of the nationally run service and start to run their own schedules i.e having enough techhies in to run the telecine / videotape machines, operate lighting sound vision mixing and cameras for live and recorded studio programmes, bring in the feeds from the regions and national ITN news from London, open up the regions and closedown the itv regions every night etc.
@@ChristopherSobieniak I noticed that as well
I now have this on soundcloud. It’s beautiful. So rousing
John Crosse delivering much welcomed news upon viewers of the YTV region before handing over to the network.
🎶Sound on! Vision on...
Peter Marshall at Thames is your disembodied voice introducing the news over a modified Thames clock.
Look carefully you can still see the T and the S on the clock slide
@@betaman7988 I noticed that too, thanks to this HQ copy of the YTV startup.
John also did a plug for 3-2-1 which of course was made by Yorkshire Television.
Would've preferred the "face" of YTV, Redverres Kyle, announcing this start up, or maybe his colleague, Graham Roberts...........................
@@SiLoJayLo There is a youtube vid featuring Redvers ...
ngl the "welcome home" intro gives me chills and my *parents* weren't even born when it happened!
edit: nor am I even british
Brilliant start up tune
I remember being at school and everyone singing this jingle. It sounded as though it had been cobbled together in a studio somewhere the day before with its out of tune singing 😃😃😃
That's a little unfair on the Mike Sammes Singers, probably one of Britain's best known groups of session singers, who did everything from Burt Bachrach albums to adverts for biscuits.
O my god memories memories It takes me back to the good old days the day when TV was good itv was brilliant back then so good not like now itv now it is fucken crap now the stuff they have on now it is a joke now I miss those days I miss it very much
4:56 This Music Is Funky. Thanks Mate. X
The News at 545 should make a comeback with the original music.
I preferred the original 'Non Stop ' that was used from 1955-1982, though only used at weekends in later years.
Not as exciting as Xmas 78 in Yorkshire TV land, no telly at all so scramble to bung another aerial on the roof and point it towards Tyne Tees. Happy days 👍😄
Why no telly ? strike ?
@@siddn yes, there was quite a lengthy strike by ITV in the late 70's.
Our TV broke down on Christmas Day one year. My mother always said it was the best Christmas we ever had.
I believe the alternatives were as you say Tyne Tees, but if you lived further to the west of Yorkshire it was Granada and if you lived in south Yorkshire it was ATV in the midlands.
Yes early 1979 bbc and yorkshire went on strike together, guess what happened a baby boom.
Year : 1979
Music : feels like Queen Elizabeth II coronation in 1953
The Muppets - got that right.
Poor Yorkshire Television viewers, 1978-1979 was not a nice year for them. In December 1978, the unions at Yorkshire walked out on 17th December 1978 forcing the region off air for all of Christmas 1978, not returning until Wednesday 3rd January 1979. From 20th to 22nd December 1978, when BBC 1 and BBC 2 were off air due to strike action, the Yorkshire region had no television at all!
Unless you happened to be able to pick up a neighbouring ITV region, even if that was at inferior picture quality to Yorkshire TV as your primary region.
@@TumbleTower Yes, the wonders of old analogue meant TV signals could travel further, and when they degraded, it didn't mean nothing which is what happens with digital, you always had something, some quality, even a bit snowy to view.
The theme of that nights edition of 3-2-1 was Merrie England.
Starring Norman Wisdom.
_Dans la famille..._
"...'cos I'm a fool!"
@@antster1983 That's right.
One thing I've just thought of, Peter Marshall of Thames TV introduced the News at 545, but did LWT continuity announcers take over from 7pm as per there contract at the time prior to 1982? 🤔
ITV resumed service on a Wednesday evening. The handover from Thames to LWT would have been 7pm on Friday evening in 1979.
God it was like winning the lottery when that strike ended. And to think those strikers got more money to return to work than they’d be asking for in the first place. I doubt anyone would be bothered if ITV went off the air for 9 weeks now!
Folks waiting for programmes to start after the long strike..."C'mon...c'mon..."
"come on, do something!"
😂
days when there was only 3 channels yes to younger folk out there BBC 1 and BBC2 and the various itv channels
g
That is right so too.
Anyone remember the 1975 YTV strike, where they took Tyne Tees programmes until the strike was settled?
Guess both being part of Trident TV at the time allowed them to do this.
I remember it well. Got bored with BBC1 and BBC2
Here’s the question: programmes, continuity all networked from Thames (with local news shown Westward and Channel); but what about adverts? I remember seeing a lot of the same ads and for products not seen before in UTV. “Daylay” eggs was one that kept being shown. Anyone know?
It was a long time ago, of course, but i have a hazy memory of a commercial (on slide) on Granada for something at the Earls Court exhibition centre that would have only been seen on THS usually.
You know, I find it funny how ITV borrowed the melody from the first theme for "Un Dos Tres... Responda Otra Vez" (the show that begat "3-2-1" years prior) for this campaign.
Which in turn was borrowed from this: Christmas on Fifth Avenue: ua-cam.com/video/Evh8aFuN8DM/v-deo.html
Anyone have ad breaks from that night? Or a startup from the following morning? Rare as hens teeth I think.
Bit insulting to Joe Public to say "welcome home" like it was their fault they'd been somewhere else. You were the ones who went on strike.
The muppets guest was Dudley Moore.
So they blew up half the theater, at least they blew up the right half: THEIRS!
Welcome home to ITV.
Note the superfluous full stop. Wonder if the square dot is some sort of homage to the cue dot, or just a feature of the font. It’s odd to have it!
When things were done properly before the dumbing down of society, television and radio.
@@CandoladIt’s not even done properly here. Abbreviations are really supposed to have dots separating the letters, i.e. I.T.V. or B.B.C.
Superfluous is one of my favourite words. I am not sure about the Dot but it does seem to make sense to have placed it there. If they had commissioned me to do the trailer I would have put the Dot in there.
Never knew that the standard start ups for each region were still in place. Always thought for that first day it was straight into the Welcome Home song. A really good find! Any more from that night?
Varied from region to region, YTV were a proud identity conscious company; others were unprepared or didn’t have the resources ready in time.
Jeremy Panze Ah that would make sense, what with the other version of this start up going from the IBA caption to the song.
I think I remember ATV going straight into 'Welcome home to ITV' without any regional references.
Betaman -
@@KevinM913 ATV seemed little prepared for the resumption of programmes. I could get both ATV & HTV Wales at the time and although ATV stayed with the iBA caption for most of the day, HTV Wales broke away from it early in the day with rundown slides and a play out of there interval library music. As you say, ATV went straight into the "Welcome Home" while HTV Wales opened up with the usual start up followed by in vision continuity from Arfon Haines Davies, apologising to viewers and advertisers for the loss of service, explaining that regional news programmes would be back the following evening and also arrangements for schools tv for the rest of the term.
Me, 10 seconds in: "Yeah, all right, WHO CARES WITH THE FANFARE?! MAKE WITH THE TELLY, ALREADY!"
It's a wonder Yorkshire TV had any viewers left after that excruciatingly-long drawn-out opening theme.
IBA rules at the time stipulated the opening theme had to be a certain minimum time, I think 4mins 30.
@@stickytapenrust6869 4 minutes 30 is excessive. 1 minute is already too long!
Yorkshire didn't have a great 1978/79. They were forced off air all during Christmas 1978 due to their own strike, leaving ITV Christmas shows to be aired in Yorkshire from Jan 2nd 1979. And then came the whopping 1979 strike.
I beg to differ!. This was a fantastic piece of music and typified the proudness of Yorkshire and it’s Television station. They should bring this back in 2023.
@@waynemarshall272and in 2024 too!.
This can not be right. I thought all I.T.V. Stationd had The Welcome Home to I.T.V. Caption with The Mike Sam singers and then a National Network schedule except for Channel Television. Who carried on broadcasting to aviod bunkrupttcy. Any ideas?
garry simpson On the first day back I believe some regions did their own start up routine before joining the national networked service. I’ve seen a HTV start up where the announcer explains that they will be showing a nationally networked service. Therefore, it would seem that the national service was networked via each of the regional companies rather than directly from Thames to the transmitter.
Did YTV do any local presentation or did they stay with London for the rest of the night?
From what I've read/seen this national ITV service continued throughout the weekend and the regional ITV stations resumed continuity from the Monday.
John Cross, Redvers Kyle & Graham Roberts
In colour? I'm surprised anyone in Yorkshire gave up their brass for a colour TV
Does anyone know where i can find UTVs startup after the strike? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find it!
It depends if anyone had a VCR to tape it back then. Even though every region had a start up, they all simply took the emergency network schedule from Thames in London on this date. No programme or presentation difference really.
UTV did a start-up on the Friday, and local news returned that day, but I don't know if they still stuck with the network presentation - though I do have visions of seeing the LWT clock on at least one occasion.
I think all was mostly back to normal from the following Monday.
7:03 7:05 7:05 7:06 7:06
who is this music?
Who is this you?
Thankfully, strikes like this are less-common now.
It's just a shame about the programmes now.
People don't strike for the fun of it; they strike for a reason!
The only reason we as a nation don't strike as much anymore is because of all the hoops and hurdles to organize strike action making it a logistical and legal nightmare. The issues that afflicted British workers in the 70s also affect us now, if not moreso!
Yeah - but at what cost? Our hard won privileges have mostly been surreptitiously tossed in the bin and mighty corporations and governments now have more power than at anytime in history. Nobody gets angry about anything relevant or noble...it's a huge, joyless, insipid global slave auction masked by a veneer of prosperity and 'progress.'
Unfortunately, low wages are much more common now.
NOTES ABOUT THAT NIGHT'S PROGRAMMES and ARCHIVAL STATUS
STATEMENT ON VIDEO CLIPS THAT I HAVE CAME ACCROSS THAT ARE LISTD: If I have found Video (From UA-cam or by Other sites) of said episodes, the links are provided to you below (ADVANCE APOLOGIES FOR THIS BEING LISTING OF SITES THAT ARE NOT HIT BY PAYWALL OR BY INTERNATIONAL VPN RULES... Those themselves are another can of worms I DO NOT want to get into.
5:45 PM: The News at 5:45 (delivered to you by Leonard Parkin, who normally was the anchor for News at 1:00 from 1976 to his retirement in 1987) ( ua-cam.com/video/UpZXP5tigQs/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/w81MnwtAOcQ/v-deo.html ) Part 2 is the main point of emphasis in this one, as they actually talked with two of the actors of Coronation Street in the interview (Julie Goodyear and Glenn Fairclub?) .
6:05 PM: The Muppets (With Dudley Moore) (ATV) (While The episode has some clips on UA-cam (search The Muppet Show with Dudley Moore in the UA-cam search), the episode appears to be on another video site with Less Harsh Copywrite rules (Dailymotion, www.dailymotion.com/video/x7s8no3 ) . However, this episode has been at least partially released on DVD/Video entitled "Best of The Muppet Show" It was reported (according to sources) that Channel and Westward DID NOT air the Muppet Show to air local news/Programming. A Statler and Waldorf joke in the intro relating to the place having Bugs, which could count as a reference to the ITV Strike.. Although Muppet Wikia says the production of the episode occurred in June, Two months Pre-Strike, So that might just be coincidental that the Joke in Question aired on the same night the ITV Strike Ended... On that Note, I will leave you to decide whether the Bugs in the theater joke was just a coincidence or not. They also got the UK air date wrong (October 29th, compared to the actual airdate of October 24th.)
6:35 PM Crossroads (ATV) (REPEAT) (NOT AVALIBLE) :(
7:00 PM George and Mildred (Thames) (Finders Keepers, Episode is available in Full on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/5lGHQhVZ_ww/v-deo.html )
7:30 PM Coronation Street (Granada) (Both Coronation Street and Crossroads (SEE 6:35 PM) Aired special intros that reminded their viewers of what was going on as of August 9th 1979 (the day the ITV Strike Started. This episode has been uploaded (as has some Older Coronation Street Episodes, It is worth noting that, Despite being on the air for 61+ Years ITV has pretty much got every Episode of Coronation Street in their archives (SEE STATEMENT ON THIS BELOW) to this site, albeit most I have found are in a episode package (SEE LINK BELOW)
For those that want all 3 August and the 3 October episodes together: ( ua-cam.com/video/RyqtZNhEw1E/v-deo.html
on the ITV archival thing, It's worth noting that the state of the archives from 1955 to 2002 depends on the franchisee. Fortunately for Coronation Street, Granada, The people behind Coronation Street, have kept a large archive, which includes every episode of the show. Granada's Archives are now hosted in Leeds, the location of Yorkshire Television, who themselves have a Large Library. Thames also has known to have a large archive, and have uploaded some of their archive to their own UA-cam Channel)
8:00 PM 3-2-1 (Yorkshire) (Merrie England, This episode has been uploaded in full to UA-cam, albeit a version that aired on Challenge TV (a Cable channel) but it is the whole episode regardless (see: ua-cam.com/video/ga5ZpFp6u4w/v-deo.html ) Like Statler and Waldorf (Presumably, see 6:05 listing above) during their gag in The Muppet Show Earlier in the night, Ted Rogers made a reference to either that the show hadn't been recorded since late in 1978, or presumably the strike in the opening monologue asking if the people remembered how to do the 3-2-1 hand gesture. Not as good as the Candle Gags in the BBC 2 Postponed Opening Night, but still, A funny way to remind about the previous Two and 1/2 Months, Well, at least I find it to be funny.)
9:00 PM Quatermass (Thames) (episodes are out there somewhere...)
10:00 PM News at Ten (Alistair Burnett and Anna Ford are your announcers) Check with ITN and their archives on this one
After the News: Film, Chinatown (not going to discuss this one's archival status)
Closedown was between 12 AM and 1 AM.
The National service would go on until the start of the Next Week, with some regions re-starting their local newscasts/magazines before the week ended, while others had to wait until the next week. At the same time, However, it is worth noting that with very little new programming coming in, it was reported that Some shows like Repeats of 3-2-1 were shoveled around to fill holes in the National Schedule along with what was able to be produced. Jokes aside, ITV really had trouble Catching up with the BBC for the rest of 1979 ratings-wise, and ITV didn't get back to true Normalcy in that department until early 1980.
It would be the last MAJOR work Stoppage in British TV, due to events that happened politically during the Strike, I.E. The election of Margaret Thatcher, who would go on and weaken the powers of the unions and the relations between the broadcasters and the Thatcher Government that would ensure during the 1980s (and in the John Major Government in the early 1990s that followed) But THAT whole ordeal is a story for another place and time...

You didn’t specify whether all of those programmes actually survive in their broadcaster’s archive.
(Apart from the news bulletins, they all survive).
Who explain to me the reasons of the 1979 ITV strike,i'm a Brazilian and think a few thing...Ms Thatcher???
This was not down to Mrs Thatcher per se.
The unions demanded a massive pay rise because over the last few years prior the profits of ITV were at huge levels.
The rise offered was below that of inflation at the time,hence mix the two together were ripe ingredients for this strike.
And in the end ITV backed down and the technicians got what they wanted.
Na época a Inglaterra estava em uma crise muito forte, com uma inflação muito alta e as redes de tv regionais da ITV estavam fazendo muito, mas muito dinheiro. O Sindicato recusou um aumento salarial proposto pela ITV e todos os funcionários (tirando da Channel Television das Ilhas do Canal da Mancha) entraram em greve por 11 semanas.
Essa crise que eu mencionei antes foi uma das coisas que ajudaram a eleger a Margaret Thatcher
Isso aconteceu devido a uma disputa a respeito dos pagamentos dos engenheiros elétricos na Thames Television, segundo eles o valor oferecido era muito baixo em relação ao custo de vida (vale lembrar que nessa época o Reino Unido passava por um período de inflação alta), então pediram a outros técnicos que assumissem as funções mas eles se recusaram alegando que mexer nesses equipamentos era considerado arriscado e que podia causar acidentes, a Thames então obrigou a fazê-lo ou ninguém teria dinheiro, então em solidariedade aos trabalhadores da emissora diária de Londres os trabalhadores das outras 13 empresas entraram em paralização nacional e quase toda a ITV saiu do ar, exibindo uma tela azul pedindo desculpas por não estarem exibindo nada
A Channel Television (franqueada das ilhas do canal da mancha) ficou de fora da paralização, os técnicos entenderam que se ela parar acabaria quebrando financeiramente (ela é uma das menores estações do canal 3, qualquer coisa que deixe ela fora do ar causa muito prejuízo a empresa), no entanto ela teve que se virar como podia, importando filmes em rolos (sim, ela ainda não tinha videotape nessa época) e preenchendo os espaços que deveriam estar exibindo os noticiários da ITN (sim, ela também foi afetada pela greve) com o seu noticiário "Channel Report".
No entanto tivemos algumas coisas exibidas durante a greve, nessa época a região de Yorkshire era aterrorizada pelo estripador de Yorkshire e a polícia da região queria localizá-lo, então na referida região os técnicos colocaram um aviso dizendo que a polícia de West Yorkshire estão a procura dele e que se vissem ele que ligassem para lá, outra coisa que era exibida no serviço nacional que não a programação normal era os "anúncios de engenharia da IBA" , que informavam sobre as novas torres de transmissão e outras coisas
A greve terminou com a vitória dos sindicatos e muitos aumentos salariais, porém meses depois Margaret Thatcher foi eleita primeira-ministra do Reino Unido e com ela o poder dos sindicatos diminuiu e muito e greves como essa na tv britânica deixaram de acontecer, porém por ironia do destino a própria ITV também virou vítima do thatcherismo e foi reformada sob o neoliberalismo em 1991, causando sequelas que duram até hoje
