BBC1 - final 405-line closedown (multiple POVs) - 2 January 1985
Ойын-сауық
Credits are down below. ↓
This wasn’t quite the end of 405, most BBC transmitters were actually switched off at various points throughout the next day. Also, all BBC main 405 transmitters went off on the same day, whereas some ITV/IBA ones went off during January 2nd (like Burnhope) and some on the 3rd (like Emley Moor). This seems to arise from some confusion over whether the last date was the switch off day. The last full day was meant to be the 2nd and switch-off during the 3rd, except in Scotland where things were apparently delayed by a day due to an extra public holiday up there.
Crystal Palace actually went off during Breakfast Time on the 3rd with Croydon following at the TV-am/Thames handover at 9:25. Holme Moss went off during some tennis coverage later that afternoon, with Emley Moor approx 35 minutes before it. Pontop Pike went off during “Look North” on the 3rd. I’m looking up when others went off throughout the day. The last 405 line transmitter to go off was Llandrindod Wells BBC1, which IIRC didn’t go off until January 6th due to its remote location and not being manned. The BBC1 405 transmitter at LW had its own standards converter, receiving Carmel UHF off-air broadcasts and having these received broadcasts converted down to 405. LW ITV 405 was fed as an off-air relay from St. Hilary (with conversion done there) so consequently its service was cut off (though it’s transmitter would have been switched off later) when St. Hilary shut down. LW BBC1 was fed from Wenvoe 405 in a similar fashion until Carmel UHF opened in 1973 and the BBC then took the decision to install a standards converter at LW so the 625-only Carmel transmissions could feed LW instead.

The top left is a modern re recording I think
The only capture of these I knew existed at first was the bottom left one from digitalmetadata’s channel. That is also the creepiest one.
Very Nice.

This is Baird T-18 television set manufactured in 1938. It was only intended for the 405-line transmissions which lasted until 3 January in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 4 January 1985 in Scotland.
This Television set from 1938, Scared me!
Just like Colorbar's multiple POVs of breakdowns and closedowns
