    There's definitely a difference in culture there. While "formal" in style, British television presentation is much more "off the cuff" with their announcers being much like the TV equivalent of DJs on the radio. Some would even appear on camera and were local celebrities in their own right. This was much more common with the ITV stations; the BBC got rid of on camera announcers relatively early, opting for a clock ID or an eye catching logo animation like the famous BBC1 Globe. American television prefers pre-recorded announcements, and I can't think of any case where an American TV announcer appeared on camera outside of MTV's "VJs" back in the 80's. Any time we would get an "up next" announcement, for example, it would usually be done dryly over the closing credits of a show. Today, we don't even get that. Usually the end credits are squeezed to the side as a promo runs on the other side of the screen. I think the only time American TV came close to "British" style continuity would be the bumpers before network and local TV station movie presentations, where the announcer would give a brief synopsis of the upcoming film, usually over a title screen for the umbrella movie program (e.g. like ABC Monday Movie, CBS Late Movie, Million Dollar Movie, etc..).

    @@superjamie1247 As much as I prefer the British style of continuity, it would never catch on here in the United States, sadly. British TV doesn't have the glut of commercials us Americans are used to seeing, where U.S. TV seems to sacrifice continuity for as much ad time as possible. I don't know if there is a government regulation limiting ads on TV there or if the commercial broadcasters in Britain run a limited number of ads as a precedent. For that matter, the BBC doesn't even run commercials at all being a public broadcaster. The difference in style of presentation comes the way the British and American broadcasting systems started from the beginning. Broadcasting in the United States has long been dominated by advertising, something the early radio stations formed the National Association of Broadcasters to lobby for in the 1920's. At the same time across the Pond, the British started up a government chartered monopoly called the British Broadcasting Corporation as a noncommercial entity to run their radio stations. The precedents would continue as TV developed in the 1930's. Commercial television did eventually come to Britain in the form of ITV in 1955, but even then it was at first closely watched by the British government to avoid becoming what commercial broadcasting was like in the United States, something they deemed as an immoral monstrosity.

    First fault included a head clog and perhaps some further servo trouble. Second one seems like some playback (either VT or telecine) not starting. The ITV "faults" because of the strike were widely publicized even in Germany. The Baboushka was probably some amplifier deciding to oscillate instead of amplify, that can happen, and it's a common joke among electronics engineers that "all your amplifiers oscillate and all your oscillators amplify". The 1982 fault might have been a problem with one of the telecine machines or the switch between them. Rolls of film typically just hold part of a film, and when showing them you need to switch between the rolls) In the 1985 StarTrek fault, there probably was a similar problem. There should have been a switch to the next roll of film on the other telecine machine, but that didn't work. 1985 warning shot seems to be the same issue. One should note that until the 2000s broadcast technology was fairly unreliable. This was because it was essentially pushing the limits of what was possible. Professional VTRs were the most advanced ways to store data, so much so that in 1989 you could buy VCR tape changers (or spot players as they were also called) that could record 3 Terabytes of data on it's set of tapes.

    Betamax was already around by 1978, though VHS was just making inroads around that time as well. The VCR had yet to become as common of an appliance as a washing machine at that time, but they were available. My father bought his first VCR, a top loading VHS machine from RCA, in 1978. Of course, he was living with my grandparents at the time and saved up his spending money from his welding job to buy one. This was the VCR my family still had when I was a little kid.

    Anyone have the technical fault from 3rd or 4th Jan 2003 on bbc1 during an FA Cup game. I still have the fault music in my head to this day. I remember thinking the scene was so iconic of the time and it personified the feeling of another new year venturing in to the 21st century. The visual backdrop was the cart wheelers on the roof of a skyscraper as a still image from the ident. If anyone can ever find that and upload it i'd be very grateful! Thanks

    One thing I do mention about the fault screens is they use still bumpers. Especially because this is around the timeframe of CRT TVs. Have they ever heard of burn-in? Unlike the modern Plasma/LCD screen TVs, burn-in is really bad on CRT TVs. CRT burn-in is visible when powered off.

    Plasmas burned-in way worse than CRTs at the time! Just a few minutes could get burn-in on a plasma of the time, but a CRT would need hours without changing to begin to retain it permanently. That’s why burn-in was most commonly seen with word processors, arcade cabinets, and restaurant TVs which showed the news all day (from the text banners)

    They were usually used while giving advance notice of a programme, e.g. the programme after the one about to be shown. They were on 35mm film slides and put in a 'slide scanner'. This was much more efficient than using a standard TV camera and took up less room.
