From the earliest surviving recording of Tiswas (30/08/75), this is how a typical show would start. The first presenter you see is guest host Richard Barnes. Regular presenters John Asher and Peter Tomlinson launch the show. Chris Tarrant was away on holiday. At this point in time, the show only went out in the midlands. It was ATV only, but that would change later on...

  • When TISWAS went national in 1976 John Asher was dropped and Sally James was brought in from LWT who's Saturday morning show "Our Show" had failed to attract an audience as big as ATV's TISWAS. Shame we had to share the show with the rest of the country really !

  • @spokest - me too ! With ATV as our ITV region we were spoilt. It was so well formatted and really quirky with oddball presenters/journalists like Peter Tomlinson, John Swallow, Chris Tarrant and Derek Hobson.

  • @bazclack - TISWAS began in 1974 with Chris Ashley and Chris Tarrant. It was unique and the audience was so big that it was networked on ITV a couple of years later. It was the format that was successful.

  • Aaahhhh good ole ATVLand I feel like a 40 year old kid

  • LOL ahhh yes would a presenter apear on a modern kids show wearing a CAMRA shirt?

  • did that boy said a swear word at 0:51 and that opening is from 1974-1977

  • Saturday mornings were great back then.

  • I really dig his CAMRA shirt!

  • Compost Corner - this is what they want!

  • @spookyphill Richard Barnes presented a short for BFBS on the eve of the first live micro relay from the UK to Germany of the ITN and BBC news programmes in December 1982. Someone has uploaded it to YouTube, but the person is adamant it's from 1983.
