The date of this clip is actually 12 June 1992.

[cwilliams1976]

@seagbb Tuesday 11th June 1991 as by 1992 Thames lost their franchise in the 1991 franchise round and so Thames had abandoned the generic ITV look from late October as a result of losing its franchise to Carlton.

@cwilliams1976 Stop talking as though this is real! You made this yourself - it is entirely fake, so stop correcting the dates!

[cwilliams1976]

@Topov1981 It isn't entirely fake and the breakdown DID occur on this date!!!!

[Topov1981]

@cwilliams1976 What exactly is genuine..? The slide is fake and the voiceover is fake.

[mayedd]

mmm shit fake

[superlast]

please stop pretending .....

Somehow ITV technical faults dont seem as scary as the BBC ones.

nicky campbell looks about 12!! lol. This is by far the best "technical problem" music about!, espically the first song.

Damn scots and there Satellites, let me guess, they forgot to pay the bills!

Great mock Chris!

The British version of Wheel of Fortune was off-air, with nobody to blame!!!!! Hilarious, though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Topov1981]

Wow, that photo is so stretched, I feel as though I'm watching this in Currys!

[cwilliams1976]

@Topov1981 ITV generic holding slide captions of this period had adopted this look since 1989.

[Topov1981]

@cwilliams1976 ITV branding was never to stretch photographs out of all recognition. Why can't you just label your mocks as mocks, then it wouldn't irritate the people who are looking for the real thing, and believe me, there are a lot of irritated people.

[cwilliams1976]

@Topov1981 Because there is no need to.

[Topov1981]

@cwilliams1976 Yes there is. You're misleading people. At least call them reconstructions.

This is just piss poor and irritating, I'd suggest becoming an accountant or something, there is no future in continuity announcing for you. I know everyone has a hobby, but this is not a hobby, this is fantasy. Don't have a wet dream now.

[welshfilmbuff]

That announcer sounds slightly tipsy!

[623058]

you REALLY should but "MOCK" and lucky for us in scottish tv area was the feed never broke for us :)

[cwilliams1976]

I'm glad about that; because it did happen on this occasion in the Thames area and I do remember that they did place a cartoon on during what would have been part two of the programme but Scottish Television did apologise in the next programme and showed the rest of what happened on that occasion.

Lokk im sorry for my last comment and im sad that i un subed!:( BTW: Is that your voice?

[cwilliams1976]

Yes, it is.

[givemethevalium]

i should think millions of viewers would have been celebrating if Wheel of Fortune actually did breakdown on air!!!

[whitismygurl07]

i think quite the opposite i'm always pissed when there's a "breaking story" and its nothing

[racrimbpsvc]

Lol.
