Part of a junction on BBC TWO in 1988. Includes the end of an episode of Fireman Sam and credits, then a programme advertisement for Gran, followed by an overview of Children's BBC on BBC ONE, and an advertisement for Going for Gold. Music is played awaiting the next programme, Landmarks.

Well, maybe not the BBC1 Going for Gold caption, as there's a similar one on the clip from the time of the 1988 Olympics, but the BBC2 Gran and Landmarks captions are in a style not seen until 1989. Also I don't think that style of BBC1 caption was used *on BBC2* yet in 1988.

Actually this isn't 1988 - it's 1989. I could date it precisely if Infax was online, of course, but more than one of those Children's BBC programmes (that's an extraordinary caption there) weren't seen until the autumn of 1989, and the captions also weren't introduced until that year. I think this is definitely autumn 1989 because I don't think Gran was shown after that.

Thanks ever so much for putting this up.

Is there anyone who knows anything more about "Animal Fair". I've been wanting to find out some info about it. All I can remember is that the theme tune was that well known song.

Evidently not. I'd have quite liked it, but it's not the sort of thing I'd cry over.
