Phillip Schofield, before he sold out to 'the man'
-
seaview id love to see that again

Re, the date of this clip; well, the vid in the first few seconds states 1985 (at the end of the credits); it could have easily been a repeat for the past 2 years hence making Phil and Andy being here in 1987; that's my 2 cents :)

Oh Jesus, let me watch Seaview!!

Definitely 1987. Gordon the Gopher was only introduced at the end of 1986 for a start, and Andy Crane did stand in but only in 1986/1987, NOT before.

that Gopher is adorable.

Have you got the episode of "Sea View"? Nowhere else can it be found on the internet. I would be massively grateful if so. :)

@doubledeckers 1987 would be when Andy Crane took over on a permanent basis (when Phillip Schofield went to Going Live), but he'd been deputising for Schofe for some time before that.
It's 1987. The Newsround clip is Newsround Extra , not the regular newsround which were documentaries not the current news and it was a repeat from 1985. There's also a Thundercats drawing in the broom cupboard which wasn't shown in the UK in 1985. It was in 1987 though!

Did you upload this from a video tape recorded in 1985? That's bloody good quality! What make video recorder / tape was it? :p

@theblazingangel - it would have been a video-recorder from Radio Rentals in those days, so a Ferguson or JVC. I can't check the brand of tape right now but I'll be able to look in a couple of months. Tapes were good quality in the 1980's. I seem to remember they still cost about £5 each at that time? The tapes have been looked after and I think people underestimate the quality of VHS. And once it's been captured it can be filtered so it looks even better :)
