Unusual late finish for Thames!

[@videonut1988]

Notice that TVS and THAMES have those Public Service shows before signing off... (And THAMES would let their viewers call the station for the listings)

Does anyone who knows their library music, know what was used for the opening of "Sit Up & Listen"? (I remember Benny Hill's 1983 parody of such sermonette.)

[@Scatscar1985]

Full disclosure: on these videos I ALWAYS scroll forward to "what's on tomorrow" bit, thus avoiding the armchair chat.

If you mean the religious bullshit then that’s what I skip past as well.

[@DanielMullins-c4s1]

And I do the same, Phillip, menu, good night and switch off your set all along when I watch these videos.

@treffy19 Of course it doesn't! Elsmore IS Thames!

[@rotonda4068]

Was there a technical reason why B&W programmes/ films also had B&W captions, including the 'From Thames' one?
