Who would listen to that unironically ? 🙋‍♀️

I love this . Come on...

The first programme on BBC2 was an episode of “Play School” at 11am the following morning The first night’s programs were shown later that evening

What Year is it in? 0:01

OMG I remember this. I was maybe 12 and I had just bought that Toyah album Anthem. Used to love Brainspace. Tim and Debbie were fkn hilarious. This must be very early 1980s.

in 1969 i was 5 yrs old my much older sister worked as childrens nanny (as it was called) at a large house & one day I remember a rare visit where i was with the youngest tot & also in front of me was a tv screen with colourful stripes & boxes . The colour was indeed unusual but I remember thinking Dr Who & High Chapperell were much more fun even though in black & white. Life never became less confusing to be honest.

Ah..Black and White TV. Remember watching upstairs in a spare bedroom, to avoid the TV detector van.

Where do y'all find funny shit like this?

Funny how they didn't parody the first lines ever heard on BBC2. Probably for good reason

That was extremely clever.

Guess he doesn't want to go on holiday to Majorca.

Hello Mr bean

Or "BBC 2 Rowan Atkinson reconstruction"?

Wow! Reginald “Rowan” Atkinson is actually a lot older than I thought he was! Didn’t know he had been working in TV for so long!

His haircut look like Mr. Bean

I loved this series

Ffhchcchchchchcchchcchchchcchchc

Rowan is one of the most iconic actors of all time

Rowan Atkinson is Mr. Bean

Rowan is one of England's greatest comedians.

Great video 🙂

Rowan Atkinson is so funny 🤣 😂 😆

Looks like mr bean

Superbly done

Plot twist: Tony Robinson tried to do a sketch for BBC1's reopening in 1981 ,being Tommy Robinson who nearly became controller had it not been for a last minute replacement storming in and sacking him ,and Tony is said to be in his womb and Tommy says 'According to his uncle Tommy ,he is only 2 months and 8 days from being born ,the reason he may miss this while his daddy watches this on a 405 line tv set ,says that BBC2 will launch in 1964 ,and 2 years after that is in colour ,BBC1(that was renamed from BBC tv) in 1969 ,will begin transmitting in 625 line Colour ,will go on satellite in '85 and will switch to true electronical tv(digital) in 2010 ,before saying 'If you can see and remember me on the TV as a child ,and you live in Kent ,Sussex or London(Only option) ,thank you for being born and being above 1 day old.' ...........And Richard Curtis stole the idea ,revamping it for BBC2's 25th anniversary.

The story about the fire is entirely true. Also the first broadcast was thought lost until 2003. It's on KZbin.

I actually really like this song. Doon's voice is especially nice. Could have easily been a novelty-pop record.

I think this is such a well written monologue.

Love this song.. I love ALL the songs from Smack the Pony. I KNOW they're supposed to be spoofs, but I just love them #guiltypleasures

This is a serious bop. There were way worse songs in the charts at the time ^^

This is Look Around You-level convincing for a spoof of older media.

He had me at plastic spade for free!!

How did Mr bean Star Rowan Atkinson presented the BBC Two launch

21st April 1989

And there I was thinking Denis Tuohy was the first presenter on BBC2! They got the set so accurate it looked like Rowan Atkinson was transplanted back to 1964, well done!

1964

If you're able see us in colour then you certainly are hallucinating

So beautifully cheezy!

Fug

Rowan NEVER puts a foot wrong in my opinion! Great talent!! (Swine!!) ha ha!

"Thinking is for wankers"

What a zanny character.

90 sterline erano soldi nel 1964 e lo sono ancora adesso.

Complimenti per la fedeltà della ricostruzione.

I've seen a parody by Tracy Ullman that is a lot funnier that this plain crap, she didn't have to use nazi imagery and silly lullabies at all to make fun of her in a better way.
