Right at the end of the UHF tuning scale is tv68 - transmitting a selection of tv clips, mostly from a personal collection of recordings going back to 1982. The focus is on channel presentation & branding, graphics and idents, in-vision continuity, title sequences & music themes, tv-related news reports etc From a favourable reception position with a couple of extra aerials, I could receive 4 ITV regions as standard, then even more when the wind blew in the right direction!
I've got plenty of tapes to trawl through - enough to keep me busy for years to come, so I invite you to subscribe to the channel and get the latest clips as they're uploaded. There's also a TV68 Facebook page you're welcome to 'like' which features other images and links.
These clips are presented for educational and historical interest, not-for-profit, and all copyright is acknowledged to be held by the relevant broadcasters and production companies.
I did my work experience at the BBC in 1988 and met Robin Vinson who programmed the original globe in machine code which was the precursor to this Lambie-Nairn version.
The music is as close as you can get to Pulstar by Vangellis without infringing copyright. The animation looks like the work of the company that done the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Nice to see this again I always enjoyed his programs.
This world cup was amazing. So many memorable goals (Letchkov v Germany, Al-Owairan v Belgium, Houghton v Italy, Baggio v Spain, Hagi v Argentina, Branco's peach of a free kick that beat the Dutch) and moments (Maradona's and Finidi's celebrations v Greece, Bebeto's baby celebration, Maradona getting sent home, Salenko's one man show v Cameroon, Ravelli's shootout heroics v Romania, and of course Baggio's penalty miss in the final) It was very far from a dull world cup. Not as good as 90 or 98 quality wise arguably but still awesome.
I watched CALL THE MIDWIFE before I discovered THE Railway Children despite the fact we had had the video for years. I still have the video. I love seeing him in the film. I bluddy hate his small minded character though.
Many years ago when I was at primary school after school my father did a computer club which had the old BBC computers as it was the 80s. I always remember when it was the holidays having the BBC computer brought back home for us to use and they were massive put in the boot of my father's 80s style Ford Escort! Nowadays those computers are museum pieces and so is the 80s style Ford Escort!
