Children's ITV - In-Vision Continuity Montage No.3 (1990/91)

This is a montage of some CITV IVC, from several different days. The 1st clip is from early 1991, but the exact date is unknown sorry! The 2nd clip is from 14-12-90 & the 3rd clip is from 19-12-90. The 1st/3rd clips were presented by Jeanne Downs & Scally the dog, whereas the 2nd clip was presented by Jeanne alone. All clips were recorded in the TSW region. The TSW presenter is called Sally Meen. Apologies for the bad editing & poor quality in some places, especially the 3rd clip as the sound dips for a few seconds.

is that gaby whats her face?

Yes, it's Gaby Roslin in one of her early TV jobs. Long-time ago now though!...

I've posted comments on other videos of the Stonewall Children's ITV era but I just have to say I can't stop watching them! Far and away the best era of Children's ITV but I was only in reception when Jeanne and Scally stopped presenting. This is jogging my memory nicely. CBBC seems to get rated highly for the broom cupboard days but to be honest it looks stuff and boring compared to this. I really do wish this era lasted longer into my childhood.

Hi again BCJ1985, yeah have to agree that the Stonewall-era of "CITV" was absolutely fantastic! I just can't express how much I used to love this period of it and it's a real shame it only lasted 2 years - but what a great 2 years it was! Jeanne, Jerry, Scally & Clive were all great presenters & I agree, far better than the rather overrated Broom Cupboard-era of "CBBC"!

I've just bought a book from Amazon, called "25 Years Of BBC Radio Norfolk" & there's a brief bit in it about Jerry Foulkes (who was a DJ on there before his "CITV" days). It only cost me a couple of quid, so well worth getting if you are interested in reading about how a local BBC station got going etc...

Are you sure the first clip is from early 1991? Don't you mean early 1990? The bumpers of the last two clips are different to the first one.

[DJFairborne77]

I'm sure the first clip is from early 1991 (not 1990), as they only started to use the shorter 1989 CITV ident at the start of each day, from Sept 1990 - Apr 1991. The longer version was used from Sept 1989 - Sept 1990 & again from Apr 1991, when Tommy Boyd took over. The CITV logo that goes into the ad breaks was the Stonewall Productions logo, which was used whilst they did CITV from 1989 - 91. Also, the TSW presenter with Gus is Sally Meen, who didn't join TSW until around summer 1990.

@neonatalpenguin Mike and Angelo looks pretty crap in it's early days yes, too americany (even though it was made in London) the mid 90's were about the best era, they dropped the americanyness :L

[neonatalpenguin]

Man, I didn't realise Mike & Angelo was so crappy.

Still, bonus points for Benjamin Zephaniah.

Why does Thames or rather Pressman and Cathro always want their actors to have American accents on their shows (minus T-Bag), guess we'll never know! Well I guess it was to make it look like an American sitcom, though it was clearily British!

[BCJ1985]

Yes Jeanne is excellent and makes the whole thing look very spontaneous. In fact I find it rather surprising Central didn't at least keep her when they won the contract back. I can't believe she's not had any more presenting jobs since.
