  • I want this video on my X2-05 unit.

  • I am on the odd a part of Youtube once more.

  • Leeds United, didn't they used to be famous?

    My dad told me they were.......

    according to Wikipedia, they lost the 2nd leg 2-0 as well - oh dear!!!!

    You're not famous anymore........"

  • In This Clip, From 2:57 To 3:19, It Was ITN-TV's ITN News At 5:45 Video Close From Wednesday Evening, October 24, 1979.

  • @nishlord The Muppets was screened in the late 1970s as the first programme to be shown after Thames handed over to LWT in the London area.

  • @agfagaevart I think that the IBA used it during their Engineering Announcements bulletin but had been in use since 1970. The main ITV blocked logo actually came into use in 1981 just as the design of the Channel 4 logo came into fruition.

  • @25AUG1968 In those days, BREMA and JICTAR used to measure their audiences into millions as there were only three channels back then.

  • Newer news: Labour's lax morality has helped standards crash through the floor. Just look around you.

    But people are truly waking up, not with just a little help from the Web.

  • Thank you for posting this (and the previous part!). Given that this must have been recorded at home, the video quality is amazing for the time. Apologies for the anorak nature of this remark, I'm guessing that this must have been recorded on Betamax? (considerably superior to VHS...)

  • I love 1:45 where Leonard Parkin comments on Julie Goodyear and Peter Adamson kissing: "What will his wife say?"
