I'd heard about the fire at Saffron Green in the 80s, but over 35 years later, I've now seen some pictures of the inside of the transmitter building and the damage caused.

Note the coverage of that Llangybi relay - just 275 people! Wonder what the smallest coverage area of a UHF relay was.

1, maybe.

Short blast of the Thames ident at the end. Was this episode broadcast on ITV?

[@christopherhulse8385]

No, Engineering Announcements swapped over to Channel 4 in 1983 from ITV.

Probably a schools programme on Channel 4 made by Thames TV
