The National Anthem on a church organ was a surprise to me. 😮

[@KevinM913]

Isn’t it brilliant! Recorded in Birmingham Cathedral. I love the less traditional harmonies.

@@KevinM913Recorded in St. Chad’s RC Cathedral in Birmingham, not Birmingham Cathedral.

Interesting cast here-many well known names then, including Rose Hill, later as the Mother in bed in 'Allo 'Allo, and Jan Francis, later of course in Just Good Friends, which were both on BBC1 of course at the time. Thank you of course anyway too!!

This would be just before the horrendous snow we got that December.

Is that Stewart White as in Anglia?

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Yes. He worked for Central until 1984/85 then went to BBC East.

It’s those awful US versions of ATV’s thriller series which ITV’s movie buyer purchased & shown from 1981 to 1984.
