We're blessed having this Time Machine back to an era we took for granted.

Maxwell Deas, Tyne Tees's long-serving head of religious broadcasting and the leading force behind Highway presenting the epilogue. Annie St John doing her thing out of vision this time, for some reason.

Long shot, but looking for the play Dearly Beloved (with Gareth Thomas), if anyone has it! (It’s the one that’s advertised in the trailer at the end of this clip.)

Thank you so much for sharing this. Full disclosure; I downloaded the audio, to use the end credits of "Father's Day" for one of my videos (I have the theme song, but no footage). I have longed to see this programme again, and despite searching long and hard for any footage, your video with the end credits is the only one I've ever come across; even so, it was still wonderful to see a small glimpse of this programme. It's a great thing you're doing; preserving these moments of our history that, whilst on the great scheme of things seems inconsequential, bring such joy to those of us that remember these times of our lives; the programmes, and even the continuity, so thank you!

I appreciate your honesty, and kind words. If even just one person enjoys each video, it’s been worth it.

It is indeed Simon Bates. He did several stints as the voice of BBC1 menu trailers in the late 70s and early 80s. I think mostly deputising for Ray Moore.

Strangely, on one of the monitors in the background you can see an ITN VT clock counting down into Duck Tales. I can’t imagine ITN standing for anything other than Independent Television News. Was the programme edited at Grays Inn Road or something?

Fantastic stuff... Best ITV behind the scenes documentary of the analogue era but a great introduction to the embryonic digital contributions. Digital frame buffers, Phase array repeaters, Oracle-on-Radio as a prototype RDS... Enthralling! And instant messenger...

I feel that continuity uploaders have truly established themselves when they discover one of these. Probably because I never rested until I found one. Now I will not rest until the BBC ONE Wales version of the balloon closedown sequence is discovered. Different, longer national anthem so it must have had a different balloon sequence.

That is an extremely generous remark in your first paragraph, and is very much appreciated. Thank you.
