Nicam digital stereo was generally excellent for quality and with a clarity of tv sound with a wider soundfield and good sonic directionality that nothing else could ever match.
It must have been a strange time for Philip - the last week of what had been his life for 24 years (longer if you count ABC), and you can sort of sense that ruefulness from his tone of voice.

Yep, Philip Elsmore for Thames announcing.
I think it was usually the case that whoever was on duty at Thames/Carlton/LWT would back announce films interrupted by ITN for the network.
