Considerably better than the average evening's viewing these days, even with 100 or so channels.

[refusenik1]

Well? *Can* complex molecules be found in space? Can they? CAN THEY? Goddammit!

@refusenik1 *Google-Video-searches for 'Miss England 1979'*

For everyone who came here because of Charlie Brooker, hello :-)

[oceanjaws]

@col2006ie HI!

[swervbe]

I really wanted this to continue into Miss England 1979

[brownca]

News at 9 o clock?!? What crazy universe is this from?

[Treblaine]

0:45 "Action from tomorrow evening's top SOCCER matches"

Huh? I thought only Americans used to refer to it as Soccer? Looks like I was wrong.

[MrSilentbazz]

The "and finally" comment reminds me that once upon a time, TV wasn't 24 hours and we used to have shut down..

..when they started not shutting down completely, and instead showing "page from Ceefax" in the wee small hours the rot began

[yailiftweights]

that american bastard called it soccer, someone stab him.

[hasprey]

Like if you wanted to see Miss England 1979

[mollyleahallman96]

Like if Charlie Brooker sent you here.

[The8thKira]

Another thing Charlie Brooker is right about! These are the best kind of "promo trails" simple and cost effective.

[AaronIn4D]

[Charlie Brooker Approved]

I discovered only the other day that the 'Collision' idea had been done before as 'Accident'.

[JoeScaramanga]

What a wonderfully sleazy preview of Miss England..lovely girls

[welchm8]

Hey, that's "Harvey Bains" in Accident! Daniel Hill seems to have kept his looks a decade later in Waiting For God.

[RetroChannelUK]

Excellent clip :)

[KEITHMU]

It's that elusive TOTP font from 1981 - 84 spelling out Wednesday BBC1. I wish I knew what it was called.

[benriggers]

Accident Looks like a pre Casualty.

[agfagaevart]

I don't remember it either.

[RobinCarmody]

Oh, and the "top soccer match" was the FA Cup semi-final replay between Liverpool and Manchester United.  The latter team won (but lost the final).

[RobinCarmody]

David Allan is the announcer here.

[Chelmsford1234U]

These line ups always remind me of the 2nd series of "Look around you". Many thanks.
