1:08 UNCLE COLIN!!!!!!! That's Colin Western, He was a legend on Christmas Day...they'd let him get steadily more drunk throughout the day so by the end he was tipsy and laughing his head off.
I never realised Granada had shown 'Bluey' the Australian police series. Years later down under, the Late Show on revoiced it as 'Bargearse' for laughs.
Sorry...meant Colin WESTON

WOW!! I can't remember this TV series. The theme song says it all, so I probably didn't bother to watch after I'd heard it :)

The typically no-frills Granada closedown is from Saturday 17th October 1981, into the early hours of Sunday 18th.

Your tired announcer at Granada is Jim Pope...well, he would be tired with the time at 26 minutes to 2am!
Thanks for the bonus Granada closedown clip - much appreciated.

But what about the announcers in the other ITV regions? Wouldn't they have been just as tired?
