Poor Don Cockburn. I think he died some years back. He had a terrific voice for news casting.

@Idol2Idol I think the STV programme was Taggart, the pilot episode "Killer", but I could be wrong, Robert Love definitely produced that programme in 1983

I lived in Sweden in 1998/99 and they still had the prctice of shutting down and not beginning the next day until 12pm following day. I remember thinking this was strange so that leads me to believe that RTE had stopped that practice a long time before then. Maybe 6 or 7 years.

@lindaobc really?, i wonder what happen to Don Cockburn few years ago?

I love the idea of TV "shutting down" for the night. Any idea when RTE stopped this practice?
Also what was the tv show at the very start (Scotland 1983 etc)?

Ah, the memories of a simpler day. Glad we're past it though.
