Granada TV - A History of the early days... (2005)

Will you be posting the rest of this if you've got it Stevie?

@spankysmagicpiano I do have the rest of the programme (in fact I have all the regional ITV50 programmes on DVD, long story), I'm not going to upload it at the moment as it would take me far too long, but it has some good moments and some Granada programmes you'd probably have forgotten about.

Ahhh, shame about that. I remember the ITV50 programmes but didn't watch them as I had kind of given up on ITV prior to that. Having said that..looking at your clip, I am sorry I missed them.

Anyway - great channel and if you throw up a clip of Aap Kaa Hak or This Is Your Right....I'll be extremely impressed :D

@spankysmagicpiano Most of the ITV50 were pretty poor, the only good ones were Melvyn Bragg ones (which I have a few clips of on my channel) and the Regional ones, as seen here, other than that it was a glorified tribute to Corrie and whatever was on ITV in 2005 mainly.

@spankysmagicpiano Oh and Aap Kaa Hak and This is Your Right were right before my time I'm afraid, they weren't on the ITV50 programme and I only seem to have 90s Granada. :(

@steviegTVreturns

I'm showing my age!

I must dig out my tapes - I have quite a few from the early 80s. Continuity, shows etc but my capture card seems to distort the sound. I'll see what I can do.

@spankysmagicpiano If you're stuck do what I do, I copy the VHS recordings to DVD (for my own benefit too, but I don't chuck out the tapes) and then rip them off the DVD on the PC and convert them for YouTube. It's time consuming, but I prefer it this way as I have a back up copy my recordings that won't wear and tear, I've just make sure I don't scratch them or anything. ;)
