Bring back the Regions please itv, continuity announcers sadly missed, HTV WEST still broadcast from the original studio in Bath Rd, Bristol, well that's what I still call it. A better time
Reminds you of how prominent Corrie was as a crown jewel for ITV in these years - I suppose it still is, but they seem to mostly see it as something to drive into the ground now. Given that Richard Briers' big shows were all on the BBC it's kind of funny hearing his voice here.
this will be 1989 as the scene with Vera in Corrie with the builder Was 20th February 1989, the episode where the residents have found out that Brian Tilsley has been killed. The change happened about July 1989. The famous Thames identity was replaced by their 21st birthday identity then the generic identity for nearly all regions. Sorry to go on lol
Gail was distraught at the tragic death of Brian in the local nightclub. The youths who killed Brian should have taken away from the nightclub to stand trial and the authorities should have locked them up and thrown away the key.
Brian tilsleys exit episode was the 15th of February 1989 then dirty den faking his own death in eastenders occurred the following week on the 23rd of february 1989 whereas Brian tilsleys funeral episode was aired on the 27th of February 1989. The police turned up at gails temporary house on the 20th of February 1989 to heard that her husband Brian had been stabbed outside at a local nightclub whilst he was trying to save a woman from getting thugged.
This gives me TV Worth Watching vibes from PBS and I absolutely love it. Thames and LWT really were something of a TV station
I miss these ITV Logos. They’re more better than the ones we have today.
Ah the good old days of the regions! 😢😢😢

Don't think I've ever seen that version of the ITV promo before.
Slightly starting to see Michael Aspel giving the finger during it, I must admit.
I miss Thames and LWT
Despite losing to Carlton back in 1991, Thames still exists to this day, as a production company part of FremantleMedia.

Michael Aspel giving the Tory Government a finger at 1:21 for the Broadcasting Act 1990 that is on the horizon

Yes, you're absolutely correct. I've updated the dates to reflect this
Wish they'd never changed ITV. Look at the state of it now! No regions. No Rainbow. Just Jeremy Kyle and X Factor and that rubbish
What's that they say about the 'Golden Ages'? - Oh wait... - Did I mention anything about the Broadcasting Act?
