ITV in the Face: Yorkshire (1 of 3)

The shortest one I've ever done, because a) it only existed 35 years or so and b) they used the same boring ident for most of those years. Also the stupidest first two minutes I've ever made, so enjoy that too. Midlands next, I think, then another break, then another three.

@DarkLard999 I bet you're the kind of spod who thinks FLACs are appreicably different from MP3s.

Your references to all yorkshirepeople being flat-capped, Whippet-owning working-class Labour supporters is *VERY* out of date - by about 70 years!

And I'm a cream-tea eating tin miner married to my sister. Stereotypes never die.

I'll wager that the footy clip shown here is Stoke v Leeds (the all-yellow strip giving things away here)

[Applemask]

Yep. First clip featuring Leeds in the 70s I found on YouTube.

[Hodmox]

BOO! in colour. That was just a fantastic opening. 5*

The 3-2-1 titles even made me jump just!

Thanks for all these. I love tv idents (execpt itv genric idents)

[Hectotane]

Yeah but the UK's idents, compared to those in the US, are more respectable and "uppercrust."

And atleast it's not Russia's BND (VID).

Never found the Ilkley Moor jingle that scary. To be fair I was born in 1985 and they'd changed to the more melodic Chris Gunning arrangement by then.

[JFredUK]

Very well put together and informative. I grew up in the Yorkshire region, (Lincolnshire, actually, but we had Yorkshire Television), and I wasn't particularly scared by the Yorkshire ident. In fact, when, on the occasion of being 'home alone', I'd get great pleasure from being naughty turning the volume on the TV up so that, 'BLAH BLAH-BLAH-BLAH BLAHHHH', could be heard halfway down the street. Very much like I did with the Open University ident, but that's a different story.

[Applemask]

@Darenster Yeah? So am I.

[AidanLunn]

@Feisty1967 1) No, and I have no reason why I should want to go to such a dungheap!

2) There's no need to swear.

[Feisty1967]

@TashkentFox You enjoy it mate, sounds superb.
