The music on the Anglia/IBA card is an excerpt from Sea Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The music on the Anglia knight ident is an arrangement by Malcolm Sargent of Handel's Water Music.

[@RobinCarmody]

Like the About Anglia clip (and I suspect the News at One intro as well, though there's no way of dating that) this has to be from Friday 16th August 1985 - the Elvis thing gives it away without even checking the Times.

God, they were still showing Fireball XL5 in 1985? It couldn't really have been a "full colour" service then despite their claim! XL5 was new when I was little, in the good old black-and-while days of 1963...

Anyone know any programmes they successfully networked?! I can't help thinking whenever I saw an extremely cheap and old fashioned programme it was usually followed by an Anglia or border production slide ! Bless em !

@@Rexowogamer this is Partially correct. Westward (TSW) was late to the color party, only Getting Color in May 1971, Shortly after the 10th Anniversary of ITV in the Southwest. Westward did, However Beat Border and Grampian by a few months to color TV. Grampian was the last Mainland British Company to get Color Broadcasts in September 1971, compared to Border, who got it in August 1971 Channel Television was the LAST to get Color in 1976! Color Timeline: November 15-17 1969: Associated Television (ATV) Granada London Weekend (LWT) Yorkshire, Thames (NOTE: Thames went Color on the 17th, which was a Monday, given that the 15th fell under LWT's Contract, being Saturday.) December 13 1969: Scottish Television (Soon to be rebranded as STV in early 1970) Southern April 4 1970: Harlech (Rebranded to HTV on the same day, since the name HARLECH was alienating to viewers on the England side of the Bristol Channel) July 17 1970: Tyne Tees October 1970: Ulster Anglia November 1970: COLOR STRIKE May to October 1971 Westward (May), Border (August 31st) Grampian (September 30th) July 1976: Channel. 405 Line Broadcasts continued up until January 3rd-5th 1985 (Most sites say January 3rd, I added the 5th since there was a KZbin Video on Winter Hill (LINK AT END) saying that Winter Hill (Granada, Channel 9) Went off on the 5th.)

longer lasting than the Ytv theme,sad days gone!

[@WestWash97]

There's nothing on Muppet Wiki, but I'm assuming the episode of Sesame Street at the end of the clip (1713) probably aired for the first time in the United States on Wednesday, 1 December 1982, since 1710 aired Friday, 26 November.

[@TheMessiah79]

I think he lasted til about 1988...

[@spuddy345]

What does seem odd now is how shiny and modern TV-am looked compared to the rather stodgy presentation of the ITV franchise company.

[@EdgyNumber1]

That went for years until the ITV rebrand.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

That depended on the ITV franchise company. Central had a totally different feel to Anglia, for instance.

Sesame Street on ITV, a COMMERCIAL network? How did that air on ITV? "Sesame Street" here in the U.S. was on PBS, a noncommercial network similar to the BBC with no adverts.

[@cjmillsnun]

Simple. Like the BBC does, PBS sells its content worldwide. An ITV company bought the rights to screen it and it was broadcast network wide.

[@cupcakefairy87]

It was also broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK

[@stewartlynch7859]

PBS has shown a good bit of ITV stuff.

[@whatamalike]

Basically the BBC didn't want it. They resented the very notion of Sesame Street muscling in on their unrivaled childrens television output mixed with a great sense of middle class snobbery (dismissing sesame's very american nature). ITV were admittedly in a similar frame of mind but being commercial were more receptive to taking it on. Though at first only in a handful of regions. It took almost 10 years for the entire network to show it! (ending with Yorkshire and Tyne Tees as the very last)

[@TomSanderson100]

@DuncanMcA This must have been 1985 eight years from 1977 when Elvis died
