I believe she got paid 600 thousands pounds a year what? Obscene salaries for people who have no value to our society.

Good riddance.

I'm glad she's gone. She thought she owned the place.

Sacked, for being too sly

The reports action theme at 2.30 is simply awesome. If anyone has the full length version id be greatful if it were posted here please

Funny how during the mid 1980s, all three (exclusively) Northern ITV franchises ended up using a black-to-blue gradient with gold 3D logo in their continuity!

Looked like Gail was complimenting Bill there for pronouncing her name correctly!

Yorkshire doing Tyne Tees dirty? Never.

Goodness, I don't remember that theme for Crosswits!

Insufferable woman. Don't let the door hit you on your big corpulant @$$ on the way out.

Kay Burley was a pain.

The 1990 Broadcasting Act came about when in 1986 Thatcher couldn't destroy the BBC. She set up the Peacock Committee hoping to force the BBC to take commercials and sell off some of their radio stations. The committee poured cold water over her plans, and so she turned her fire to ITV and had the worst outcomes. BBC looked on, as if they escaped a bullet and the person next to them got hit

6:38 - Granada survived thanks to Corrie, the ITC knew with Corrie gone, the whole network could collapse, that is how important it was to ITV then. Also they had big hits such as Sherlock Holmes series, Krypton Factor, World in Action and had a massive back catalogue to sell.

FREMANTLE

I remember Toni Arthur both on Play School and Play Away. Great memories

The best B-side that O.M.D. never made.

RIP Yorkshire TV voice legend John Crosse, who's sadly died aged 83. This charming interview serves as a fitting tribute to John Crosse, whose smooth, velvet voice was heard and loved by millions in Yorkshire region.

I actually remember watching this (for obvious reasons). Football/Sport was class back then, we all seemed to take an interest in everything

I always remember when BBC closedown the weather was always told without a presenter but with continuity announcers

Shame there is no archive footage in existence for The Happy Apple.

Why did they use to mention Fahrenheit?

FANTASTIC theme tune! Such happy memories. Wish it was still on! Tony Hart was such a special man with such a calming presence 🙂 RIP

I really like that font they used on the title slides like at 0:22. Very nice.

I would suggest that BBC ONE's globe spins for the closedown while the Filipino national anthem plays.

They labelled the second SLL programme shown each week that term with a 'B' but didn't label the first with an 'A' - they certainly did that in subsequent terms and I'm sure they did so in previous terms.

Yorkshire did the network Autumn promos in 1985 and these were from the 2 nights that ITV showed The Key To Rebecca

Was it billed as a Movie Premiere

The match in What's Happening was Saxon Radio v Piccadilly Radio

A brilliant part of the show every time, and Susie Blake was superb as others have said. I sometimes wonder how many times Liz Truss saw it as a child though..

YOU'RE WITH FRIENDS

Classic!

Love the fact that Russell carries on chatting whilst Jayne is trying to say goodbye to everyone!

Rod Hull was a perv.

I have watched old Coronation Street episodes from 1990, and it's funny when Deirdre calls Dawn Acton's character Tracy Barlow "Tracyluv".

Mr Bennett....

When football was most enjoyable to watch played by English/British players. End to end attacking, goalmouth action, tough tackling etc, unlike today’s boring possession based crap, cheating, feigning injury and hardly a British native in sight. This theme tune is iconic and seeing Brian Moore presenting the programme was great. Truly miss those great days.

Ah yes, Open University; a programme favored by a certain anthropomorphic beagle resident of Wigan, best enjoyed over a bowl of cereal and a copy of "The Republic" by Plato--er, _Pluto._ Though having to put up with a secretly evil penguin manipulating your best friend and trying to drive you out of your own house can certainly put a damper on your enjoyment of it.

Continuity Announcer = Dave Adey

I can just remember this documentary. It's from about 1968

The voice of university challenge

Takes me back to adolescent memories here - I was thirteen and remember the theme tune very well!

I actually saw this chap walking past me at Quay Street when I was walking to St John's College (MANCAT), now demolished.

Almost heart-aching in the amount of regret this displays. Pope’s words, especially the “And now it’s too late”, the short but deep silence that follows, and final “Goodnight” really make this touchingly somber. And the New Granada Theme also presents a sense of melancholy, especially at the beginning and at the slow-moving very end, equally as heart wrenching as Pope’s words. Truly a beautiful tribute, and I’m from Gen Z.
