Have you ever wondered what the legendary ATV ident looks and sounds like when played backwards? Those from the Midlands would've seen this happen for real on TV for a while at the start of "Tiswas", when it was a regional programme in 1974, but as no true footage has been reported to exist on the web, here's a recreation.

Didn't Tiswas occasionally show this - or something rather like it - until they were (allegedly) told by Lew Grade to stop taking the piss out of the legendary ident??

They did, EuroAlien, but I've never seen genuine footage anywhere, hence my recreation.

@MisterTrimble Tiswas did this for one programme, alarmbells rung at the IBA (shock horror!) and ATV got ordered not to do it ever again by the IBA, and they didn't.

@b6gm6n Note the ATV logo is the All Seeing Eye! Like CBS! I wonder if Lew Grade was one of the elite and we didn't know it? Heh Heh.
