whatever happened to Mavis Nicholson?

Yay! 16:9 :)

I could have sworn that this video originally played back on several video playback software I tested it with in 4:3. The ad compilations that had come from the same source can still be seen in 4:3.

:-S

I like that once the fake cockney kid says West Side Story is about "kids like us today" the video just gives up.

He's not a fake cockney, He is Gary Crowley!

Anybody have the intro to The Living Body?

The announcer on the Abbott and Costello slide is Veronika Hyks.

Another musician from Derry providing the music for APlus4 :)

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Thanks for that - I'm afraid I'm not that familiar with C4 announcers' names!

Ah, yes, Philip Coulter, the noted music writer and composer, who also co-wrote Cliff Richard's 1968 Eurovision entry "Congratulations" and the England Team's 1970 Mexico World Cup anthem "Back Home" - both UK #1s!

All but the first ten seconds here are from Wednesday 30th January 1985 - the Abbott and Costello announcement at the start is from the previous day, Tuesday 29th January 1985.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

OK, thanks for that.
