50 Years Of ITV Idents

- A tribute to ITV's regional idents from over the years.
I made this a few years ago to complement the ITV50 promos being aired to celebrate ITV's golden anniversary, using the same Basement Jaxx music.
The great thing about the ITV regions, was how they celebrated each region's heritage and culture. Not like it is now!
0:44 - The "River" flowed PERFECTLY with the song's beats!

As a child, I was so happy to see the LWT ident after 7pm on a Friday. This signified the weekend had arrived and no school for the next two days!! :)
Just for the hell of it, here were the regions by order of size:
ITV BIG 5:
1. London Weekday (Thames Television/Carlton Television)
2. East, South and West Midlands (ATV/Central)
3. London Weekend (London Weekend Television)
4. North West England (Granada)
5. Yorkshire (Yorkshire Television)
ITV MIDDLE 5:
6. South and South East of England (Southern Television/Television South/Meridian)
7. Wales and West of England (HTV Wales and West)
8. East of England (Anglia)
9. Central Scotland (Scottish TV)
10. North East England (Tyne Tees)
ITV LITTLE 5:
11. South West England (Westward Television/Television South West/Westcountry)
12. North of Scotland (Grampian TV)
13. Northern Ireland (Ulster Television aka UTV)
14. Borders (Border Television)
15. Channel Islands (Channel Television)
As an American who grew up watching British TV on PBS - this was a weirdly wonderful walk down memory lane. Some of these I remember (London Weekend Television, one of the Thames ones, one from Yorkshire Televison, ATV) others I recognize the names but not the logos (Meridian, Carlton), and some I don't know at all, but this is still cool!
What a cool video :) Love the music you've used :) Thanks for posting :) xxx
Excellent....very well put together!!
60 years is gonna make ITV50 look amazing.
Excellent music to the compilation - well played.
Enjoyed that. Well Played!
whats with the stupid music? i want the jingle music as well, otherwise this is pointless drivel
This is the best of ITV celebration videos.
Can I offer another viewpoint on the music? Because it post-dates all the idents featured, it fits equally with all the idents. Bear in mind that these idents go right from 1955 to the 2000s, and it takes something outside that period to do them equal justice.
And I like the way the 'pause' in the track coincided with the 'still' idents - i.e. Border/Granada/Yorkshire.
ITV should bring those idents back.
Yes really nicely done
I can kind of understand why this tune was chosen because it is like the songs says do your thing and every region of the ITV set up did do there own thing with there own ident depending where you lived is what ident you had so yes do your thing like basement jaxx is saying this song is spot on in what it is trying to tell people
NOT ENOUGH GRANADA! They made most of ITVs output.
They still do. And the BBC's and channel four's.
You know what would be cool. In 2015 ITV will be in their 60th year. What they should do is run their old idents for the year. This would include running the old idents from whatever region your from (So if your in London they could use the old Thames/Carlton idents during the week and use LWT at the weekend, etc). I remember last year UTV ran their old idents as they were 40 years old cause that's the region I'm in.
The days.
the anglia knight on the horse the knights face scared the shit out of me and the music to that was like one overplayed trumpett
Three little ITV logos
Once upon a time,there lived three little ITV logos. They are Anglia,Border and Central. They started with A,B,C.one ITV logo is building a straw house and when London Weekend Television go Anglia said ''Don't go into the straw house.'' one ITV logo is building a big house instead. And when London Weekend Television go to the big house and Border said ''Don't go in!'' ''Don't go in!'' One ITV logo is building a beautiful house and when London Weekend Television go to the beautiful house and said ''Do not go in to this house''. One who don't finish us Central. After he finish, London Weekend Television go to the straw and said ''Let me come in!'' Anglia said Don't go into the straw house and London Weekend Television said Then I will huff and I will Puff and i'll blow the house away. He blown and said I want to eat you Anglia. Anglia said Don't eat me! He run into his pony and run into the big house and said ''Border! Border! Help me! London Weekend Television is gonna eat me!'' Then London Weekend Television go into the big house. And Border said Don't go in! Don't go in! And London Weekend Television said Then I will huff and I will Puff and i'll blow the house away! He blown the big house. Anglia and Border ran towards to Anglia's
SO GRANADA CALL 9-1-1 TO SEND OUT FOURSCORE AND THIS IS FIVE AND THEY KILLED THE BEEB
great itv i dents.
Anglia and Applejack's Little Free
Once upon a time, they were live one man and one horse name Anglia and Applejack. They live in East of England. But two eyes named ATV. (Associated Television)''Do you live in Midlands?'' Said Anglia,''Yes'' Said ATV. But suddenly,They saw a slide named LWT (London Weekend Television)''Do you live in London?'' Said Anglia.''Yes'' Said LWT.They walked together. Suddenly Applejack saw a horse named Pinkie Pie. They Played around and walked again. Suddenly,They see a park full of horses and ITV logos. Anglia meet ITV and said hello to him. They played together and they live happily ever after.
I think the most recognizable is 1:47
1:47
What I Think It's Thames Television? (1:32)
+alexthekid Animations OF COURSE. It was from their 21st anniversary. There aren't many tapes of that era, making it a gem.
CHUCK NORRIS OF GOD! IT'S THAMES! 1:12
ITV seem to be almost ashamed of the regional companies structure it once had. It would have been good to see a few old idents as part of the 60th Birthday celebrations - but nothing apart from "ITV changed my life"!
@hollyoaks132003 the song is .... Baement Jaxx .. do your thing ..
@hollyoaks132003 basement jaxx....... do your thing..
HTV West not included. Not sure why ????????
Absolute waste of effort with a music track dubbed over the actual ident sounds. Surprised it's lasted on UA-cam for over 7 years!
mjptrapster Not every region Had an ident tune. Granada where I live only showed the ident card for years at least.
Where can I find the This Morning regional features they showed? It's really annoying. I've got bits on video somewhere probably.
cool
But please make it with the 2002,2004,2006,2010 and 2013 idents with the 1999,1960s,1970,and more
Great collection of logos. Shame about the awful choice of background music.
Health warning: you might go blind at 2:47
omg i can't believe channel 3 had all these, jeez like make up ur minds! lol.
btw i liked you're choice of music with the images worked well, if others don't like it they can just go search for the originals elsewhere
Westward tsw for me .funnily I have always hated me own area channels
What's the music
BFDIOfficalPen VGCP OWN TPNG SFTB Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx :)
They did their thing then but to bring them back now in any format would alter what ITV does and stands for.
@scruffjones sorry .. basement jaxx
boring now it's just ITV studios and the schedules are barely worth mentioning
ITV are rebranding and getting rid of the 1 on "ITV 1"
Nice 1 Nice ITV Idends But You Have Ruined This Video
By Puting Music On
Lovely compilation of ITV idents over the years but I don't like that song. It ruined the video.
itv is crap thesedays
Shame about the shite music, would have been better to hear the ident music as well
Look, if you can't do the real ident music, just pull this as it wastes time!
