That went on forever! All I wanted to do was find out what happened on the first night of ITV, not hear a load of history that I don't need to know right now. Last time I watch ITV!
-
What a load of old guff TV was in them days... but present day TV is much MUCH worse....
-
This occured on the very day I was born! Marconi also broadcast for the first time ever on 9-22-1896! Found that out when I was in college.

@AnfieldRed10 Very true. The demise of ITV can be traced to the day Thames Television lost its franchise. ITV1 is very much fuckwit TV as it stands today.
-
@rizlateef The 1991 franchise round.
-
They called ITV a "public service"! I'll never get enough of that.
-
How very eloquent and well spoken, it's a shame things have fallen so far so quickly
-
55 years later, where did it go wrong?
-
Didn't they use that opening music on the Pearl & Dean stuff back then?
-
Great vintage footage. I just love the "Take it, Master Control" how very 1950s!
