Children's BBC Continuity 1994 Part 3 (includes Bold's death scene from Farthing Wood)

More CBBC pres from 1994, again with Philippa Forrester, Ratz and Toby Anstis- and this time Ratz joins Toby in the broomcupboard to introduce the final episode of series 2 of The Animals of Farthing Wood.

Again, apologies for clips which begin or cut-off abruptly, it's like it on the original tape!

Also included here is Bold's death scene from said episode of The Animals of Farthing Wood. Even at my age, and after all these years it still gets to me for some reason. Not sure I can even watch it again, it's very sad :'-(

Oh man, Incredible Games!

I don't suppose that you have the rest of that episode at all? Would love to see more than just the celebrity one that's up. :D

[2001JamesTV]

@graafenblackpaw I have that episode and a few others. Will get round to properly digitising my old videos at some point- though it can wait until the price of hard drives comes down again!

Notice the stupidly tight closeup in order to get Ratz visible on the screen at the back (even though he's outside of the screen at one point), they had a much bigger monitor at the back towards the end of the broom cupboard's life to allow for this.

[2001JamesTV]

I don't think Ratz really ever appeared much in the broomcupboard anyway to my memory. I could be wrong though.

[JB1601]

Quite a rare credit squeeze in the broom cupboard - usually these were restricted to Studio A sequences...

[2001JamesTV]

There are a few clips of them I've seen floating about. It is refreshing though to watch this tape and see most of the end credits are left completely uninterruped- not even an announcement. A total contrast to today, unfortunatly.

That was David Walliams on Incredible Games, wasn't it? I always wondered what he did before Rock Profile and Little Britain!

God I loved incredible games

[JB1601]

He tended to appear during half term/easter/summer holiday periods (presumably they got a bigger budget for those times). However the little git seemed to always pop up on Sundays!!

[JB1601]

Yep - CBBC abandoned credit squeezing when continutiy moved from TC12 to the east tower (presumably the new setup isn't up to it, or it's just not a priority). Either way it's good!
