Extracts from the LWT production 'Denis Norden's World Of Television' broadcast on Sunday, 28th December, 1980. Includes trailer for 'Staying On',continuity from Hilary Osborn in the LWT Christmas continuity studio, and a trailer from Redvers Kyle looking ahead to New Year's Day on ITV.

'Denis Norden's World of Television' was comissioned to a full series in 1981. Norden turned the series down, and it would return in late 1982 as 'Clive James on Television', which lasted until 2006 - under the title 'Tarrant on TV'.
Some interesting continuity here.

Also, with the announcement of the ITV franchise round on this date, Hilary Osborn and Verity Martindill learn that they will soon be leaving LWT because of their inability to read the local news which was one of LWT's promises to the IBA and they would end up contracting to provide the local news nightly from 1982 onwards.

This is the day LWT learned its license had been renewed for 1982.

@cwilliams1976 Actually, the formation of S4C was confirmed on 17th September 1980, and I'm not convinced that the C4 announcement would have coincided with the ITV franchise details either...

2:23 and they said that Benny Hill was sexist...
