Granada Closedown - Charles Foster - 29th October 1985

[@keithwellens]

Absolutely loved Granada TV. I wish we could go back in time to our local independent television stations.

[@linmanfu913]

These voices bring back memories though I wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch closedown back then!

That wonderful.closedown music encouraging you to tune into your local radio station when you switch off the tv.

Good old Charles Foster. A fantastic...warm...homely TV presenter from my childhood, sadly from a bygone age...I remember my parents saying: | "Right...Bedtime now, TV's finished"...And I wouldn't go till it went..."BEEEEEEEEP!"....I've only just found out Charles Foster sadly passed away in February aged 91....

Chuck F shutting up shop once again. One of the nicest voices on Granada, very soothing. Do you have any Granada closedowns with any of the other announcers?

[@tv68uk]

+Anthony Hobson Yes, there'll be some more on the way in due course!

Knew Id find him eventually. Remember this man well.

0:36 - That's the wrong breed of dog, and that's not Bob Saget! (Yeah, I know this is a different Full House.) The original British series did eventually air in the US in syndication, but by then the more famous American family sitcom also entitled Full House had premiered, so it was renamed Mixed Doubles in the US so as to avoid confusion.

Public Info Film was a memorable one- where the boy crosses road with his impatient mum and dad - and ''nearly ends up as mincemeat....it was Dad..in his new car''

[@stephendaniell4439]

Awesome tune .

[@Blubatt]

I'd love a clean version of the closedown music for a radio show I'd like to do in the future

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Don't like 24h television, it's just a dead zone for rubbish. Charles Foster was a nice announcer

[@danielwilliamson6180]
