The demise of Thames TV is one of the worst things ever to happen in Britain. I really mean that.

How ironic it is that Thames did indeed, have a talent for television, as the promo says, and yet it was replaced minutes later by the vapid Carlton.
This proves the ITC wrong-that Thames was much better than Carlton at making programmes-as most of us knew already!

Someone should send this to ITV now and along with it a piece of shit, fresh and smelly with semi-digested food bits and say: THAMES WAS BRILLIANT, THE SHIT IS A METAPHOR FOR YOU NOW...

@GBCOne Looks like Larry, but I think it's actually Dick Emery

@bidanton the ITC?
How terrible.... I remember Thames Television's logo as an icon of my childhood. Allo Allo... Mr Bean... and Carlton owns these now, do they? Bummer.
Imagine... a television channel that makes it's own programming like the good old days... would never happen now, unfortunately. Wouldnt mind one or two of those

So many memories from Thames Television, even though I'm not British.

Another thing Thatcher did to destroy the country was her revenge on Thames TV for "Death on the Rock". Was a hammer blow to ITV and UK cultural life and it's still suffering.
Ironic the current PM's only real job was marketing Thames' successor, Carlton TV.
Fucking Tory scum.
