... 'The Gauntlet' at 10, but LWT flung on an old episode of The Professionals at 9, shunted 'Time for Murder' to 10 (something they did with a lot of dramas at that time which didn't fit their proto-Murdochian image - indeed, they were often the sort of thing Nick Elliott shifted the BBC away from during his brief stint there a decade later) and then showed Quadrophenia at 11. LWT were also the only region not showing Bullseye on the Sunday.
indeed, going by the online archive of the Glasgow Herald and related publications, Radio Clyde was still the only Scottish ILR station broadcasting round the clock *throughout the week* by 1987. But Radio Forth took Mike Allen's 'National Fresh', and Clyde didn't, so it all evens out.
4:25 Well if you're not enticed by the prospect of our married monster from outer space on Channel 4, and you are. Regretfully switching off now, please don't forget to switch off AND disconnect from the mains for safety's sake. From all of us here, goodnight.
Ah yes, that half-GSTQ that was presumably some kind of attempt to keep both Rangers and Celtic fans happy ... This was one of the nights when the cultural division between LWT and the rest of British broadcasting at the time - as we know, they, or more specifically their former staff, won that particular battle hands down - came to the fore; every other region had the old-school Granada play 'The Murders at Lynch Cross' in the 'Time for Murder' series at 9 and the Clint Eastwood film ...
And of course this was also the time when the only regular, weekly football coverage in the UK was on BBC Scotland and Scottish/Grampian.
Tony Currie does the continuity announcements for BBC Television Scotland now .
Actually, I was only 24 then. But I did start broadcasting at the age of 11!
Excellent, thank you
Seems odd that they'd closedown earlier on Saturday than on a sunday...
Love the music over the lineup. Anyone got a title for that?
Nice to see Tyne Tees' Farming Outlook getting an airing North of the border. And was Return of the Saint still being repeated in the mid 80s?
The date for this: Saturday 16th November 1985.

Might have a few other things, will look for you. Got this from a trade I did years ago, so TV Ark clip must be the original owner!
Not at all, that weekend. There were other occasions (1990-91 springs to mind) when they'd show it behind the rest of the network.

Radio Clyde got a longer announcement than Radio Forth, Tony being ex Clyde, I wonder if this was deliberate?
When did LWT broadcast Bullseye?
Anyone know the name of the song at 1:19?
It’s ’Channel Rundown’ by Dave Pringle, which gave the inspiration for the This Morning theme tune.
That song is like the cousin of the This Morning theme

So basically these shows aired every 5 minutes? Correct me if I'm wrong.
It’s ironic that they play God Save The Queen when the fourth Stanza has the line, “Rebellious Scots to crush”. It’s an anti Jacobite anthem.
We don't know what music songs is.
li fang tang This tune would go on to become the title music for ITV's This Morning, a version of which is still in use today!
