I've Got That Video Ident On My The Sooty Show Little Cousin Scampi and Other Stories Video!

[jane1975]

I have this one on my Men Behaving Badly Video ( Series 1), it is a shame that they went along with many good ones. ITV is rubbish now, full of reality garbage. Idents were fun.

Strange because the opening of the logo where the picture emerges from the darkness reminds me of a pantomine for some reason with the amazing music. I prefer this logo over the older one.

Thames was killed off by the ITC and Conservative government - their weapon of choice was the Broadcasting Act 1990.

Mind you, Carlton are pretty rubbish, and a certain current Prime Minister was on its board of directors...

[Martinofredwall100]

I have this on my Wind in the Willows Four Seasons VHS,

Does anyone know if there were any VHS releases of Button Moon with this logo on?

I've got a re-released version of what I think is the first Button Moon video and has this version of the logo on the box but on the tape it has the older logo.

[HouseOfFrancis]

I have this logo on 4 Mr. Bean videos and the BFG video.

[TashkentFox]

This is on my Mr.Bean video.

[MsSonicGirl]

I used to have the ultimate nursery rhymes video with thames video logo

when I was 2.

[HouseOfFrancis]

I used to have that video as well when I was younger.

[allenjeremy]

This logo is on a video I bought many years ago called Stand Up Jim Davidson.

[mellowNdark]

[madcapoperator]

I only ever saw this video on 1 video: rainbow.

Though I saw the previous thames video ident on many.

Good times...

[Tripp1993]

God bless Thames TV. Killed by the EVIL Carlton Television in 1993!

[sslaxx]

Thames the ITV company yes. Thames the independent producer - still going (Talkback Thames).

[sslaxx]

@Tripp1993 It's the only brand name to survive in any meaningful form to this day though.

[David315842]

@Tripp1993 You can add Margeret Thatcher to that list too!

[Tripp1993]

Why?

[David315842]

@Tripp1993 It dates back to 1985 where Margaret Thatcher was close friends with the head of Carlton who wanted to take over the company in 1985, but the IBA blocked the buy. Then in 1991 after Thames made an episodeof 'This Week' which Thatcher considered an act of treason, she made ITV go through it's 1992 franchise auction and Thames bid too low. Well that's the abridged version of events, from what I've heard.

I think I saw the still logo of this and the Polygram logo on a Mr. Bean tape that me and my dad rented at a library.

[madmonkeyreturns]

I have this in my Sooty: Matt Robot, The Best Bits of Mr Bean and 2 other Mr bean videos that i own :)

[marbles333]

I have this on an old Rainbow tape, and the old version on Button Moon... the old one used to terrify me when I was little ^^

This version was definately more majestic however :P

[retronicky]

[bloozeman101]

[lolguy543]

[hammadmossop]

Who Had The Videos Of Rainbow From 1991 That Ident Was On There If I Remember Correctly

[Meanmanmartin2007]

I have one of them.

Also, I have it on another Rainbow tape from the mid 90s but at the end of the tape, the Rainbow Theme music is heard over the top of this logo.

[fraserkatie]

[KRYPTONTEKKENMUFC]
