  • This is from the night of Saturday 21st December 1991, into the early hours of Sunday 22nd. The film ending is 'The Big Sleep', original 1946 version, which I think was chosen to end A Perfect Christmas because it had been popular on Christmas TV in the 1970s.

  • I Miss closedowns

  • The COLOR Purple? I thought this was BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation.

  • @Dr0ctave How right you are-I agree fully with your comments!

    Thank you for the posting though-well done!

  • TV is so impersonal these days. It's such a shame that the BBC is a shadow of its former self. They really lost sight of their reason for being there, and now it's just another commercial channel in all but name.

    Good god I'd like to go back to these days, I'd give anything. I know a lot of it is nostalgia but things were better back then, as little as twenty years ago. I fear for this country and the rest of the world. I think things are generally going downhill and there's nothing we can do.

  • @Jimwoodward1212 i was born on this date 21/12/1991, its funny how the time is 1:47, no joke the number '147' haunts me, if its coincedence or not i see it everywhere. just thought id search the day i was born on youtube, this came up, seen ur comment, 1:47!! wtf?!

  • @rachel7000rf yea i kinda miss em

  • That segment was inspired by Melies' A Trip To The Moon - so cute & cool!

  • The BBC2 idents never seemed that great to me, but they were still better than the shite we have today...

  • You mean Adagio for Strings?

  • 21st December 1991 was the day that BBC 2 looked back upon classic Christmas programmes from years gone by. I have some of the special idents that were used earlier that day so will upload them soon.
