Hard to believe that ITV used to cover Golf in the 70s & early 80s.

[@daverhodes362]

Great to hear that golf theme after all these years - and the splendid Spring 1981 promo theme too. Timings a little out on the South Bank - crossing slightly late into The Big Match and the news.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Sloppy junctions to the news were par for the course at Lazy Weekend Television in the 80s and even into the 90s.

As well as what looked like the signal bounce switching between LWT and ITN although this wasn’t too bad in this video

@ 6:31 & 26:53 I'm sure this match was the precursor to the Hillsbrough Disaster. Here's where there was also a crush but signs were missed. Very sad to see this as it reminds that such a tragedy could have been avoided.

Why is that LWT (and other stations?) had bumpers between some adverts but not others? (Am I right that it was also unusual for stations to put bumpers between adverts, rather than simply at the start of them?)

[@stickytapenrust6869]

It just depended on company policy.
