TV-am Outro into Thames Strike Announcement (2nd November 1984)

The voice here does sound rather strange, you have to admit!

The music is good though, so thank you for the posting all the same!

I have heard it before on a BBC2 trade test tape, with Test Card F and Pages From Ceefax a while back.

As you have a voice like a weasal, I am sure you will NEVER get a job on TV, unless in your own wibbly wobbly world. Got a laugh though

Man i dont know what drugs your on or what your smoking but this is complete total utter crap the strike was in the 70s and tv am and channel 4 didnt exist then and somehow i doubt very much tv am would have been on air when the strike was on

@jspackman11 Firstly I am not on drugs. Secondly again you have not looked correctly at the date here. Thames were on strike in the London area between 17th October and 5th November but a management service was in place until the strike was resolved. TV-am were able to transmit in the London area as it held the national ITV breakfast franchise so the IBA did allow TV-am to transmit as normal during the strike and the rest of the ITV network.
