BBC One Closedown Mock 2009

Instead of doing anything fancy, I've decided to be as accurate as possible about how I would think the clock (based on BBC One weather and programme slides) and closedown would come together. (Channel trailers to Weather to PIF to Clock to Full-length ident to 'Ceefax HD'). I put the Ceefax in on that particular page to signify it's last few years in broadcast. :) Long live Ceefax!

How did you do that?

[lukesams3]

By using Windows Movie Maker with images imported from Paint.

You could ask SamUK2005 for tips, but he uses a mac. You could try, though :-)

Overall, you did a pretty poor job, especially on the clock. When I saw that you did it on paint, I thought "HA!".

@lukesams3 Also did you record BBC One Closedown man with your voice?

Wheres the national anthem? In my opinion, it's not a proper closedown unless you have the national anthem played.

Nice try. The trailers seemed to go on forever, (but, don't they anyway?), the weather was reasonble, although the aspect ratio was off, (but then, without making John Kettley look rather fat, I'm not sure how you could have done something about that), PIF, good! The clock needs to look better. A lot better. No globe, but then that would be difficult to recreate. Ceefax isn't a bad idea, though it was never used on BBC1 at night. Test card W or black screen and 440Hz note better, me thinks.

@edie221 Yes!

[lukesams3]

@edie221 Nope! With Windows Vista!

BBC Two in 1991 had a proper closedown. Type in "bbc2 closedown 1991"

[goncalo1998]

They never closedown in Portugal Rtp

BBC one does not have ceefax. It's also a bit sad that you copied the description from SamUK2005's BBC Two closedown mock.

Could you do the BBC Two closedown in 1991 style please?
