[RememberToday4ever]

I so miss the 80's

[peterpeterxxo]

feb 1985 was at the end of old style weather the computerised graphics came in a week or so after this.. i remember bill macaskill i think throwing loads of magnetic symbols up in the air to close the last forecast before the change over.

[oakesy68]

blah blah everyones switched off you twat

[Feisty1967]

The 14th was a Thursday, just before Eastenders started and my mother's birthday on the 23rd and also my nephews birth on the 21st of Feb.

[Feisty1967]

This is just before the COW/Eastenders/Wogan Michael Grade revolution! The last of the Golden Era!

[bobbydj01]

Mah man Fishy, rockin da comb-over.

[GuojiPiaoke]

Haha, very nice to see this again after many years. Actually when you wrote "old style weather" I thought you meant the one where he actually used to physically put the weather symbols on the map himself.

It's funny how they always saved Michael Fish for bad weather reports. At least, that's what I always felt.

[beckigreen]

This band sounds like they are trying to copy the Police somewhat.

[ajuk1]

What band was that?

[UKSazzy67]

My apologies it IS 14th Feb 1985, I've just seen the first clip that you uploaded and it clearly shows the Wogan show starting the following week beginning Monday 18th Feb. Eastenders started of Tues 19th Feb.

[UKSazzy67]

How do you know its Feb 14th '85? At the end of Rockschool it says 1983.

[luton10000]

this has to be feb 86

[UKSazzy67]

Its definitely not feb 86 because by then the weather forecast was already computerised.

[AidanLunn]

this is from february 1985 - its just that the programme that ends at the start of this clip was a repeat.

[dmpcornwall]

That must be one of the last of the old style weather presentations that the BBC did. We weren't far off it being changed by the click of a pen.

[js2001b1]

that rock schoo, thing is dated 1983 at the end in roman numerlas the XIII at the end of it.

[AidanLunn]

where's the closedown from the end? That would have come after the weather

[revoxy]

tape ran out 2 seconds after the weather ended!

[RobinCarmody]

Although it didn't run on long enough for him to give his name, I'm pretty sure the announcer is Andy Cartledge.

That MOTD Live was shown on ESPN Classic a while back. And that *is* a cold spell, not what passes for one these days - note that snow was forecast particularly for the areas which have always had least of it (it was in fact a recurring tendency of the 85-87 cold snaps for the south coast and west country to be among the coldest places).
