Blimey, what a transition from the very 80's TVam to an Anglia still stuck in what looks like the early 70's. Still making a point of mentioning colour in 1985!
The music on the Anglia/IBA card is an excerpt from Sea Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The music on the Anglia knight ident is an arrangement by Malcolm Sargent of Handel's Water Music.
Like the About Anglia clip (and I suspect the News at One intro as well, though there's no way of dating that) this has to be from Friday 16th August 1985 - the Elvis thing gives it away without even checking the Times.
Notes
1. the credits was from the 1961 movie blue Hawaii
2. start up was aired from 1969 to 1988

@darrowby1972 well, what's left of it. It's a shame it's all just "ITV" now.
