BBC1 Closedown - Boxing Day 1988

[Visonu]

This closedown is on tv ark but it starts from when Charles Nove says and that's the clock that's just left 2.35am

im sorry to sound vulgar but it really sounds like he says cock instead of clock

Ah, this isn't the closedown where Charles Nove mentions the partridge in the pear tree flying off for the last time... so perhaps BBC1 kept the 1988 Christmas ident for at least another day?

@col2006ie Infact, I think TV Ark noted Charles was on the late shift that Holiday Tuesday to say 'and since The Eagle Has Landed, I think our little partridge had best be off' (cue partridge flutering off)

Lovely stuff. And Alex Lester in the middle of the night on Radio 2 - suddenly two decades seem shorter ...

Nice closedown, very unusual of the BBC to play jingly music on the programme menu and Weather there, nice touch.
