The beginning of Tiswas: 12 September 1981

[uncled39]

Makes me want to go through all my old Videotapes looking at all the old programmes I recorded. I wonder if I have any rare continuity announcements or other bits and bobs.

This brings back memories.

This was not 1981, i get a feeling it was 1983.

@womblediehard I'm sure it is 1981. Immediately after it on the tape is an episode of Wildlife On One 'The Mouse's Tale' which was broadcast on 15 September 1981 I believe.

@doubledeckers Apologies you are correct for some reason when i was a child tiswas ended in 1983 but was not the case.

[LessonNumber1]

@womblediehard no! the saturday show was in 1983

i believe that opening was from 1981 not 1983

@womblediehard ATV would not have had its ident shown after 1983 otherwise it would have been prefaced with the Central Presents caption

[dunebasher1971]

@womblediehard It's certainly not 1983, because the very last Tiswas was broadcast on the 3rd April 1982.

This isn't the first Tiswas of the final series, it's the second.

5th September 1981 was the first one.

I think you've misunderstood. I meant the clip showed the beginning of that programme. Not the first ever Tiswas.

[joenirvana88]

Have you informed the people of TIWASonline about this footage? im sure they would love you if they didnt have it

[doubledeckers]

I did look and this seems to be one they already have.
