  • Can anyone recognise the music track from 00:25 to 00:40? It sounds a bit like Blur.

  • She's Electric - Oasis

  • BBC1 End programmes on 10.3.97

  • Yes, Mr Carmody established that last week.

    See below.

  • This will be Monday *10th* March 1997 - or, if you prefer, the early hours of Tuesday 11th.

  • Oops...

  • OMG, THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY

  • That PIF - "nice to know you're safe" - yeah, a metal sheet is going to stop a fire from spreading, is it?

    Nice to know you're safe that a metal cage and what might turn out to be a faulty smoke alarm may turn your house into a raging inferno.

  • BBC1 stopped closing down for the night in the autumn of 1997 - they started handing over to BBC News 24 for the wee small hours! Nice to see a Public Information Film - didn't realise they'd been showing those again in the 90s, but I do remember BBC1 showing PIFs before closedowns in the late 80s!

  • @W3bbo2 It is Shes Electric by Oasis

  • have my lass here and cant believe we just spent, the last 5 mins, looking at this..... superb. got any more?

  • that was on my birthday, I was officially 5 years old wen this clip was taken :P

  • @thegoodcocklife I thought exactly the same thing. I was 9 when this used to happen - I thought it only happened in the 70's.

  • God! I used to really fancy Jon Kettley when he had the beard! I was 18 at the time, I was really disappointed when he shaved it off.

  • What is the point of this?

  • its nice to know that the British nanny state was around 13 years ago..... Who really turns off all the plugs before they go to bed??
