The z virus is fictional (fake)

I don't live anywhere near this ITV region, but it was an interesting video.

Me wondering if it would be a good idea to make Dead Set but it actually happened (mock)

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Am I right in saying this is foreshadowing?

Now this is peak gaming

This is a brilliant video! Thank you for making it and keep up the great work :)

This is a awesome video man.

Just say "the M4 is closed between junctions and 23"

Now make a special broadcast-type event lolz

Does This Take Place In 1996 Like The BBC EAS ITV EAS And SKY EAS That MocksEAS Made

Please Make A Left 4 Dead EAS Scenario But With Green Flu Virus In United Kingdom With BBC News ITV News Or Channel 4 News In The Year 2023

Hm. Reminds me of Mike. Have a subscriber.

So cool!

Which part of the UK was Granthan TV supposed to serve?

Season 7 of Big Brother UK took place in 2006 so I think you’ll have to change the year in the Thumbtitle.

If the South East did have its very own ITV Franchise, perhaps they could call it Downs Television? Or perhaps Weald Television?

2005, when Al-Qaeda was still causing death and destruction and Britain would suffer one of the major terrorist attacks of the 21st century, in the 7 July bombings.

Are you NOT William Neale from APFS?

now THIS is realistic, i like it!

Not a bad piece of work although the pictures really have to match the audio if you're making television rather than a radio script with disconnected video. But a few little points: Grampian didn't go colour late because of its size, but because the IBA couldn't build the transmitters quickly enough and the Post Office couldn't get colour links to Durris and Rosemarkie quickly. When you say ITV decided on uniform branding, there was, of course, no actual ITV but a conglomerate of individual programme contractors who liasied via the ITCA. Not all companies used the network branding - STV for example. I'd certainly dispute the assertion that "for Northern areas the primary language was Scots Gaelic". All my family are Gaelic speakers, but come from the central belt. There are more Gaelic speakers in Glasgow than the highlands. And the big problem Grampian had was that most of its original franchise area - the north-east - had practically no Gaelic speakers at all, which is why STV had Gaelic programmes but Grampian did not. But when the Eitshal transmitter opened, serving Lewis and Harris, there was a sudden obligation to include Gaelic programming - something STV had been doing for some time. Small points, however, and the factual accuracy of the video was pretty spot on!

An amusing-ish idea. Of course, as a major news story this would have been dealt with by the HTV Newsroom who would have provided copy for an announcer in vision and not wasted time on extended idents (which you couldn't just summon up immediately whereas a newflash slide and a human bod were instant). And of course if you were on the bridge .... you clearly wouldn't have been watching HTV, would you?

In shaun of the dead in the tv scene in the pub were a character was flickering through channels and E4 was there saying stand by for further information and it looks just like this! Well done

Honestly it is great to see other people apart from Harvester make UK scenarios even if they aren’t from Britain, you and mocks tv did a pretty good job on this well done. I do wonder though how did you get the VHS fx and the old TV look?

Amazing creation! Looking forward to seeing more like this.

I take it that this is a parody of S4C in Wales somehow so then too I wonder of course?

But of course there was no BBC Four then either was there-in 1989 or so I mean too?

Thank you for this of course-well done too!

Thank you for this of course, which is most interesting too-well done!

The soundtrack music comes from Central, it was used on their production The Central News Friday Show, which brought Chris Tarrant back to his roots in regional TV.

Is the announcer redvers Kyle

Hello Mr Mendip, are you Male (a member of the Boys Everybody organization) or a female?

It is a 1954 film at the end.

☹️ 'Promo sm'!!

I think ITV certainly should have had its own regional network for the southeast. It felt like they were left out.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Who is striking? So relevant right now haha

@Mr Mendip Actually, BBC There's original name was BBC Choice and that was a better name than BBC Three.

I have lived all my life in the old Grampian Television areas and I'd like to bring to your attention two slight errors. Grampian Today, the local news programme, was rebranded as North Tonight in 1979, when Grampian did indeed up its nightly news programme to five nights a week. As for Grampian ending up more like STV, well it did, but not through choice as when STV bought out Grampian Television in June 1997 it instantly started axing all of Grampian's very popular local programming. Two of the biggest casualties were 'Top Club', a quiz for local clubs and organisations which had ran since 1980 and 'The Way It Was', a programme devoted to archive film from around Scotland. Indeed it was partly through this programme that the National Library of Scotland gained hundreds of old films which had lain undiscovered for decades and had been sent in by viewers. The final nail in Grampian's coffin was in 2003 when they moved from their original studio complex at Queen's Cross in Aberdeen to a vastly smaller building in West Tullos in Aberdeen, which only had a small studio for North Tonight. North Tonight was itself axed and rebranded as 'STV News at Six' in 2009. Previous to this 'North Tonight' had a five-minute opt-out where more local specific news was broadcast from the Inverness and Dundee studios, but this too disappeared when the Grampian name and North Tonight disappeared in 2009. Grampian even opened studios in Stornoway, Western Isles in 1990 for the production of and broadcasting of daily Gaelic news but this was closed in 2000 due to any Gaelic production STV hadn't axed being moved to Glasgow. The final ignominy was when Grampian relocated to its smaller studios in 2003 nearly all of Grampian's archive which still existed, with the exception of some of its news footage, was destroyed or junked. Even now many people in the North of Scotland still refer to our ITV output as Grampian and not STV North.

Will you do Granada

why did i get this recommended. disliked

Ooooo please keep it up you really have a passion and a knack for making videos and you’ve already established a style and aesthetic to your channel. I look forward to seeing what you make

Awesome video

lovely

If you look very closely, you can see my eyes slyly darting over to the side. Out of vision was my iPad with the lines written out on Microsoft Word, just in case I either forgot them, or stumbled upon my words, which I tend to do lol Also, the audio you hear during the IVC is actually dubbed. I did originally deliver the lines but they ultimately needed to be redone, owing to how far I had to be from my microphone for the greenscreen, which is why the audio and video may be a little out of sync.

2:34 So this is the ident...

0:00 Love the narration! 0:07 Love the music!
