Im from oldham and I go to sometimes Ramsbottam. Is that Joseph smith show Ramsbottam becase it looks like the peel tower at the start of the show.

[ian2847]

@azz17394 the show was filmed in crawshawbooth they just super imposed peel tower there as that bit was on major street in crawshawbooth and you cant see peel tower from major street, brilliant programme, i went to the same school that they filmed it at, remember it like it was yesterday

I've always wondered who/what won the ''Home And Away'' storyline competition that they mention (after ''Josie Smith'')? Shame I didn't record the following day's continuity (5-12-89), when they announced it! Oh well...

[danielfennessey]

I recognize the voice of the dog... but I can't put my finger on it.

[DJFairborne77]

Scally the dog's voice was done by 3 different people, but on this occasion it was done by John Eccleston, who has done lots of puppeteering work over the years.

[fraserkatie]

John Eccelston does one of the Hoobs now. The green one!

[morgansifer82]

I forgot all about that scanky dog on CITV. Today's kids are too cool for school for some old crappy puppet, but back in the eighties we lapped it up!

[DarkShoryuken]

thats but i still wear brute, product placement ad in kids tv... nice...

[disremembrance]

Strange how they had two logos/idents on the go at that time! I've always thought the green/pink/blue one came first and was then completely replaced by the one with the 'corporate' ITV logo in it, but obviously I'm misremembering as this clip shows that the two were in fact used alongside each other!!

[DJFairborne77]

Hi disremembrance. Actually, when Stonewall took over producing "CITV" in '89, they had their own logos/idents, which are the green/pink/blue ones & were used throughout the year. However, when ITV launched it's first corporate look in September '89, they created their own intro/outro idents to "CITV", which were used from then on replacing Stonewall's intro/outro ones, which were the same as the others. Their intro said "Welcome to CITV" & the outro was "You've Been Watching CITV".

I can tell that you are from the beautiful West Country, because the Gus Honeybun birthday slots (which featured regularly on Westward and TSW) feature so eloquently on here. If only Children's ITV had included their own birthday greetings and also a news bulletin like they have on the BBC... ...as well as going on Channel 4/S4C when the Budget, football and other such programmes were shown in that slot...

Ghostbusters was CITVs flagship show at the time and of course the toys were big too. Ghostbusters fever had taken over kids in Britain at this time as the second film came out in December 89(yes we got it 6 months after USA)and I remember going to the cinema to watch it as a 6 year old. Friday's was a better day though overall as it was Ducktales and Fun House.

BRUTE COMMERCIAL ON Childrens Continuity rotflol!

[mason642]

will you be uploading any more CITV clips or old continuity etc.

[DJFairborne77]

If I find anymore then I will upload them of course, but sadly I don't think I have anymore at the moment...

[col2006ie]

The announcement about the videos at the end of The Pondles is by Central announcer Ted May.

[DJFairborne77]

Thanks for letting us know that, as I always wondered who that voice-over was by!

[RobinCarmody]

The Pondles of course is the series that was set in an entirely fictional place called Puddletown - although there is actually a real place of that name (I've been there), no doubt the name was used because many would think it too ludicrous to be real (ah, the cult of the funny place name: thanks a whole bunch, Rantzen).

I'm convinced that at one stage here Foulkes says "then also" - maybe he was an early incarnation of Lee Bedwood.
