This appeared on ITV later on in the morning when TV-am failed to come on the air because of the dispute which was caused by some members of the National Union of Journalists on 7th August 1985. ORACLE curtailed their transmission of pages and reverted to this caption which appeared between 0800 hours and 0925, playing to four tracks from the BBC2 Butterfly tape. Enjoy!!!!

  • No. It's not a mock if it's not labelled as such. It's a fake.

  • Damn, why is the television on your planet always so bloody wordy?

  • i remember them just putting on happy days at 7.30 and danger mouse on at 8 am then i had to leave for school,I was very happy TV am was off air it wasn't aimed at 10 year old's

  • it started of as tv am in the 80's til the erlie 90's

    and became gmtv upto last year and became daybreak

    what will be the second incarnation for tehe show next

    but channel apologie message screens are now is old hat .

  • Are you quite sure text that small would have shown up clearly on TVs of the time?

  • FAKE

  • Butterfly must be one superb tape. Exellent choice of tracks. :)

  • A for effort, though C- for not disguising the mock better. PROTIPS: Try using the eyedropper tool to match the color to the background better. And ditch MS Paint and use a decent program such as Photoshop or The GIMP

  • @andymerrett

    Obviously, the didn't want to lose viewers, but how can you lose viewers over nothing

  • They should've added "in the meantime, why not watch BBC Breakfast Time instead".
