T'was a fine thing that the tech assistant or continuity person would fade the Ceefax tape being played and bang in a link track cartridge to give a clean musical finish to a Ceefax broadcast. (blimey! they seemed to care about what they were doing).
I remember this happening a lot in 1986 - by '88 Candle In The Wind was a regular link to finish these broadcasts, amongst a few others in the continuity cupboard...
Classic Ceefax pages too - ahhh!

Having watched Postman Pat recently with my son, i have to say at least it is still mostly stop motion and it's the same guy voicing him . It's probably one of the best kids shows on TV. I can't be bothered with SDS though, Pat's got a younger voice in that one plus he screws up a lot and always has the cheek to say "mission accomplished" at the end. SDS is just an excuse to sell toys, IMHO.

@hornauerzuwinnende You're right, the BBC were behind Princess D's death, because they knew there would be a quiet news day and had to report on something.

OMG Old Postman Pat. I hate the new ones. I also hate the new Thomas the Tank Engine - I realised this morning that they animate the trains to make it look like they are wobbling slightly on the tracks, in turn trying really hard to copy the feel of the original series where they used scale modles and remote-control trains.

@happyin2008 Royal Mail had not given permission for their logo to be used at this time, the makers did get permission for later series. Nowadays (in the more recent TV series) apparently Royal Mail don't want to be associated with Postman Pat, so he now works for the "Special Delivery Service".
