[Nickthegreek123]

This brings back some memories i can remember coming home from first school and just waiting for sooty to come on. I can remember the adverts too.

[OriginalWBK]

[LF0]

[njomahony]

that 7-up ad makes me mad!

[kakoroto]

[zeleryy]

[SilverRanger92]

[mellowNdark]

[IrrepressibleGuile]

@mellowNdark extrene cheese

[smcauley600]

how gay

[TigerWalrus26980]

Bring back real kids' TV shows! So many classics, so many memories - how memorable will today's rubbish be in a decade's time, eh?

[Holygasoline]

Well said... !

[Richie77777]

TV back in the late '80s when they would actually do a tacky show but with normal actors.. - Fast forward 20 years and still the tacky shows with reality tv, "Stars.." - Just do things normally anymore on tv..

[strunway]

I dont remember things looking so bad, I was 7,

its like the presenting was different.

The graphics were basic,

the adverts were very simple!

But strangly I want this, the 'just put together' look is great. I dunno,I think they get the same timescales nowadays but pay 20 year old kids minimum wage to produce and direct under high presure... hey if you keep at it you might get 30k a year to produce Points of View and then die

[Twigs47]

Oh wow I remember that McDonalds ad!! Thanks for this :D

[satcrazy]

Its such a shame there isn't any decent kids shows on nowdays. Its all shouting and screaming charaters.Fair enough you can get away with it if its a christmas special (All the kids shout at christmas) but there is some really awful programes on like thumb wresteling (It looks as if the BBC's nest show is about a dead goldfish on a hook).

[welshuser]

Did they give out Sooty glove puppets to kids on that special? If they did, then I saw this too. I remember being so fucking jealous at the time.

[rayblack2004]

Wow, its so innocent compared to the shitstorm thats going on at the moment. And the worst thing is is that there isnt even any decent kids TV on anymore.

[kakoroto]

lol i was 6 ill remeber them well

[dominion1976]

I feel ancient watching this!!! I was 11 at the time and remember most of this!

[Muffinthraka]

I would have been nearly two this time.

[ILoveMinnimoo]

omg the 7up advert is so corny =/

[fraserkatie]

I love the McDonalds advert here, but the video is great!

[sapphiresanchez]

cool funky music!

[NikkiClo]

That 7up guy is scary

[ConanCnutKicker]

do you think corbett ever rubbed one out using the sue puupet?

[rayblack2004]

get out...

[mellowNdark]

Tit!

[David315842]

So AT if you we're 3 when you saw this, that must mean you were born in 1984...like me! Though I don't remember watching this era of CITV, though it's still brilliant, very nostalgic.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

I WAS born in 1984! Like you!

[David315842]

Yay I was right, LOL!

[rayblack2004]

SO was I!

[MrHammadmossop1988]

@AntarcticaTelevision I forgot that Rainbow was shown at 11.10am on Tuesdays and Fridays in the New Year of 1988 I almost forgot about that it is very nice at 0:00 and again at 1:07 1:08 it is also interesting to know that Rainbow was shown at twenty past four on Tuesday Afternoons in the new year of 1988 I forgot all about that as it has been very many years ago since I saw that but it is a very nice bit at 1:07 1:08 I remember it being shown at 11.10am on Tuesdays and Fridays in 1988 old times

[putthetellyon]

I still have the whole of that Rainbow Christmas Pantomime on Thames Video somewhere! Its a belter...may upload when I get time.

[knicksfan89]

terzza is now at channel 4 where he was since 91

[knicksfan89]

kev I used to have that video as well and also it had 2 other episodes, so perhaps that was the 88 video, but the pantomine WAS in 87

[lisaglitters]

Great clip.I loved Rainbow and Sooty.

[funkykitty2]

have you got the full epsiode of sootys christmas special.if you do would you please upload it on here if you can

[SlushPile]

I don't remember those presenters at all. I must of prefered the broom cupboard

[redrachel76]

Me too. A lot of CITV's presenters seem from that era seem forgettable.

Enjoyed the Karvol ad and sooty theme tune. Interesting how at the time the ad voice overs were a mixture of traditional RP English accents and modern voice overs.

Really enjoyed that -Thanks for posting it.

[hate4me07]

Karvol I used to use that

[AidanLunn]

1988 - there are no frontcaps.

[imcadam121]

Quite correct 1988 the year they foolishly discontinued pre-programme idents!.

It's difficult to believe that it's nearly 20 years ago!.

I was 15 at the time and pretty oblivious to it!.

[AidanLunn]

I think that they still put them on the front of their programmes until the iuntroduction of the generic ITV branding in september 1989, because YTV still kept on screening frontcaps until the generic ITV was introduced!

[filmnet]

I believe frontcaps for children's programming were ditched in 1985 in fact (unless someone can correct me). Also to the uploader, this is Children's ITV and not "CITV" (it wasn't renamed that until 1993).

[AidanLunn]

I would have kept them on until the rest of the frontcaps were ditched in 1988!

[filmnet]

Personally, I agree! However this seems to be a decision made by the ITV companies in 1985, presumably either because it "ruined the flow" of Children's ITV or an experiment prior to scrapping them from all programmes.

[AidanLunn]

what do they mean "it ruined the flow". It didn't ruin the flow of in-vision continuity on the regional network so it wouldn;t have ruined the flow of in-vision continuity in CITV. if it was an experiment, then it was obviously a very difficult one as it took them two years to finally decie if they wanted frontcaps on the ITV network or not!

[filmnet]

That wasn't a perfect quote at all. But that *may* have been some ITV companies thinking. I just put it in quotes to show it wasn't my opinion. But on the other hand, there may be another reason I haven't thought of.

[CentralSouth]

Great Clip. I used to watch rainbow. Good old Bungle George and Zippy

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Coming from you, that's an honour!

[HCShannon]

Roy Skeleton, any relation to Red?

[Dustybin321]

Is that Gary Terzza and Debbie Shore presenting here?

[jamesdelboy]

yes it is

[mason642]

some great clips here. keep it up.

[KevCityboy]

I've still got the video of Rainbow's Christmas Pantomime now! :-$

It says on the video that it was the 1988 Christmas Pantomime though. Great clip anyway

[AntarcticaTelevision]

What, the video says that *this* one was the 1988 one?

[KevCityboy]

Yeah but it might have been recorded in 1987 and released in 1988. Don't know!
