BBC1 Closedown Mock - Wednesday 23rd July 1975

We have a lineup of tomorrow night's programmes, a brief look at the weather, an amusing PiF that features about rabies coming to Britain, a final look at the clock and followed by a playout of the national anthem. At the end, the testcard with the girl and clown playing noughts and crosses, also a blank screen. We'll those were the days in the early 70's if you stayed up that late.

When did Davros become an announcer???

@Flickyhecky Possibly 1974/early 75. Well it is a mock, which doesn't survive on VHS in those days.

If you're going to make mocks, advertise them as such. I initially thought this was real - in which case it would of course be fabulously rare. Please don't get people's hopes up unduly.

@RobinCarmody Well i've changed it now, it is a re-creation mock of how BBC1 had closed down in 1975. As it wouldn't have existed in this quality in this year.

The PIF is almost as scary as the Lady Ga Ga tune I hate. But nice touch.... i should be doing some MOCKS later this year Mr. King. From one King to another.......Good Night....

[Glamking1]

@RobRobintv That Lady Ga Ga tune wouldn't be here for another 34 years as it could have been first used during a menu of tomorrow night's programmes in 1975. If it was a instrumental trade test music track used by the BBC like the others were played during a caption and the testcard during mostly afternoons. I'd hope I could do another one for Christmas 1979.
