Out of interest, does anyone know what came first. This final showing of the COW on BBC 1 or the final showing of the TWO ident over on BBC 2?

@Meanmanmartin2007 The final showing of the TWO ident came first because they shut down at 1.07am. Andy Cartledge said, And away it goes forever. Watch it and see what I mean

[Meanmanmartin2007]

When I was a kid even though it was past my bed time lol, I remember getting a fright when the queen's anthem suddenly came on and listening to it now still gave me a fright lol.

It's very surreal and spooky!!!

This was on 15th February 1991 into the early hours of 16th February

Funny how he said "Our last look of the BBC1 Globe." Viewers could have been thinking at that point the globe would be abolished completely.
