Taken from later on during the night, the end of some Alf Garnett programme made by Carlton for UK Gold (yes it did happen!), a promo for Sunday night, a promo for the new UKTV and then a cross promotion for the then new UK Horizons, and then another ident. These 'Gold' idents lasted until Spring 1999 when they were replaced by the fireworks idents. When this happened the old idents were given to UK Gold 2, which we now know as Dave.

  • This is strange. The video looks like 4:3 but the bars are bigger than they should be.

  • @thepod96 It's something I only ever noticed when I copied the VHS onto DVD and watched it on the PC, but from my what I have on VHS then it appears this was an issue with whatever went on at Astra or C&W's headend... but it was only ever on Analogue, not digital.

  • Im sure the programme ending which starts first in this video is 2point4 children?

  • @ElectrexOnline It isn't 2 Point 4 Children, although I know where you're coming from, the credits look similar. The programme is some Alf Garnett thing which was only about 5 minutes long, and more oddly was a Carlton Production for UK Gold...!

  • Was there a channel called UK Gold Classics? I seem to remember the channel unless my mind is playing tricks on me. I believe that UK Gold Classics later turned into UK Gold 2.

  • You are right, it didn't last long though, it was broadcast from Fridays to Sundays on Sky Digital only, it sometime in 1999 became UK Gold 2.

see all

  • @steviegTVreturns Could you explain a bit more why is there thick black lines on Analogue Cable?

  • Isn't that Dirty Den at 0:48?

  • Dean Lydiate is the man's name who is announcing here!

  • Am I correct in saying the continuity announcer currently announces for BBC? Anyone know a name?

  • Great clips, back in the days when UK Gold focussed more on old British TV tea-time programmes.

  • Why did they change their own schedule?
