Lived in the Yorkshire tv region and they played the YTV march for 2 minutes before starting at 5pm each day. Can you believe tv was only on for 7 hours a day?
That's 117 minutes past 20 to 4 as Alan Partridge would say at radio Norwich It's just 5 pixels more than a radio broadcast in the medium wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum Awt 5 mins 35 seconds you can hear the steam engine powering it all in the background. Anglia and LWT and ATV from the midlands, great ITV idents.
I used to live in West Runton. I wonder what happened to that Knight on that fine silver horse? And I remember that fanfare. It’s amazing. Also I connect this with Sale Of The Century filmed in Norwich with Nicholas Parsons as its presenter.
@ 5:30. I’m sure both those old staid posh men went home to mistress’s that evening to be smacked by Nanny wearing kitchen gloves and stilettos with wet asparagus stems.
‘Woman - Know your place’ was broadcast during Anglia Woman’s Hour at 2pm each weekday. Just for an hour mind you - they then needed to go off and make themselves pretty and cook dinner before the husband came home.
Reminds me of a show i watched called, Appropriately, Watch, its really difficult googling it, you get loads of watch makers and people watching stuff but not much on the tv show.
@@davidgifford8112 ahaaahh… forgive me! I wasn’t writing you off - I see you’re still a district council. I didn’t know that Huntingdonshire had been a County.
We had to put up with this for years before they switched us over to Yorkshire TV. Used to get news from places we'd never heard of let alone visited 😂 Pre Humber bridge days, mind you still don't visit now 😉
0:32 “One minute to zero. This is Anglia Television!” Debuting with what is one of the two the most dramatic network sign ons in television history (next to the BBC’s first ever broadcast), Anglia pulled out all the stops for their opening. It felt like you were receiving a transmission from another world. 4:47 is the debut of the Anglia Knight.
The incompetent IBA forcing them to drop the name ATV. What was different - same faces, same programmes and for the first two years no separate service from Nottingham and most of the time studios sitting idle and after all the expense of redundancies at Elstree to build a complex in Nottingham that too was shut down.
As some who remembers Regional I.T.V. even though Southern was owned by D.C. Comics and the publishers of The People*s Friend and therefore Scottish based. Southern Television sweated blood for it*s region. I wish we could get some form of Regional I.T.V. back.
The original Westward Start up film with the steam train was used from 1972-1980 as the IBA Clips channel has that one on their 80s Start up video from 25th August 1980 which was a Bank Holiday
