I love the title "The Night They Took Miss Beautiful"... sounds like something Troy McClure would have been in
Couldn't wait till LWT started on Friday night meant the weekend has officially started
Peter Marshall looks like he is auditioning for the role as Marty in Randall and Hopkirk.
an episode of The Muppet Show with the ATV intro! I've only seen it like once on UA-cam from a really deteriorated 16mm.
This version of The Glums was a spin-off from an item on the ill-fated Bruce Forsyth's Big Night, as was the Steve Jones Game Show from around the same time. A reasonably rare capture of Hilary Osborn here - with just the kind of voice that, sadly, would disqualify her from continuity these days. (Although three or four glances at her monitor betray a certain anxiety, and the cut to the ATV ident is a wee bit late.)
Fantastic quality!
Those were the days
A bit of Paul McCartney & Wings's Rockestra Theme before the second onscreen announcer!
Interesting to note that The Last Detective was dramatised a good 20 years before the Peter Davison version.
Those are scenes from the Liza Minnelli and Gene Kelly episodes
8:58, Announcer (Jerry Nelson):And now, back to The Muppet Show!
The video (4:20 to the end) dates from 4th January 1981.
Think that's the oldest Thames/LWT handover I've ever seen.
I’m guessing this must have been 1980 - the smoking ad has a 1980 copyright and the trailer is for “ITV81”. Great video!
It's not all from one day. The first bit does sound like it's from the end of 1979. Then after that it is 1980 because Hopscotch was released in 1980.

CENTRAL PRESENTS
Wow - Muppets music consultant - Ray Charles.
Not that Ray Charles--a white man who led the chorus on the Perry Como show, among many other things (including singing the theme for "Three's Company," the U.S. version of "Man About the House"--Mr. Charles liked to refer to himself as "the other Ray Charles."
LMFAO! He sounds like Eric Idle!

I was 14 years old! :(
I was -17.
Hey at least I'm not watching Glee videos or anything like that.
i was 16, woe is me.
some of those programmes / films look a bit dodgy.
God if they were the Weekend Highlights back then wtf were the Lowlights like? God LWT must have charging millions to advertise on Friday to Sunday pimping crap like that out.
