Love the in-vision time check for 8.32!

Bill Steel not bothering to write a script

Oh dear, the common misconception that O Fortuna was used in 'The Omen'.

Speaking of odd and inconsistent house-style programme slides, note too there are two versions of the C4 symbol: at 0:43 and 9:00, the first of those a slightly zoomed in version of the still c4 would use instead of the CGI animation; the second one *does* look like a photo still of the animated symbol and is in the correct ratio.

my goodness, haven't heard that theme tune in years

Those slides look like Thames version....

623058 They'll have been generic ones, which will have been provided by Thames for the programmes being shown... Tyne Tees seemed to go through phases of using branded and unbranded slides for some reason.

I would have thought all stations were using branded programme slides by 1987. These generic ones are very boring.

@@KevinM913 Quite a few smaller stations didn't use branded slides at all until quite late on. Tyne Tees had been using branded slides since the 1970s, earlier than many larger companies, but occasionally used the unbranded ones (I think this was the choice of the duty controller). This changed in 1988 when computer-generated slides came in, and at this point all the unbranded stuff disappeared.

As regards the Germolene 2 advertisement, why are girls depicted as being more injury prone than boys?

I was a very active and boisterous tomboy when I was a little girl and I was forever getting bumps, scrapes, sprains and cuts, as well as the odd broken bone or two. My local A&E suggested I should carry a loyalty card for each visit, lol.

Jesus Christ!!!!! Tyne Tees. Subject matters are a bit deep.......

Tyne Tees was criticised in the 1970s for the doom and gloom present in much of its local output. I always thought this was unfair -- did the IBA *want* local programming to be just the same low-quality light dreck seen on most of the big 5? Tyne Tees's regional current affairs programming was some of the best of any ITV company and they didn't get enough recognition for it.
