Welling up at Barcelona

Guy, is closedown. This clock from end and starting the tone bad

Climate Change '85!

Please tell me NBC also used the BBC Olympic theme from 1964 that year.

Nothing from Ch4 though

…. But I still like the close theme

The BBC entered the 80s with quite a few memorable shows. They left the 80s with shows like Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Only Fools and Horses and Challenge Anneka. I think that the BBC News theme from 1981, in a way, gave us a taster of what to expect in the coming years.

I'm sat at home with Covid. I was a 9yo in 1983. I miss those gentle times and the family members I have lost. Christmas was magical, everything was closed and roads quiet we didn't have much but we spent Christmas together and it was cosy

86 and 87 were awful summers

A very professional man Peter Bolgar

21:57 Not sure why Billy didn’t guffaw at this double innuendo here! Matron!

Well someone needs to point the credibility argument out to the complete halfwits who are running the BBC now! They are a laughing stock!

Yes, how times have changed! The once trusted and highly thought of BBC is now a mere shadow of itself! Such a shame that an institution like the BBC is now run by complete morons more interested in being seen to champion the cause of the moment and appear down with the kids! The Church of England made the same mistake and look at it the state it is in! Complete nonsense on stilts!

Old skool...I was nearly 10..

Wow you'v got them all including ones I thought I'd never hear again. Not sure all the dates for what was used when are quite accurate though as I remember when TV Ark (?) had a 1974 intro up with the four wheels in the corners.

I prefer this closedown ... from Rowan Atkinson ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ByAuQIgydzo.htmlsi=Zl7KUnDrP7-hlpaQ

A time when journalists did their research and gave us news rather than opinions.

On Grandstand I knew Len Martin & Tim Gudgen read the results but did they do any sub-editing as well on Grandstand would like to know

2:40

Who knew then that by 2000, Bob Wilson AND Des Lynam would have moved to ITV.

Poor old nigel he was on a place in france rip.

Lovely to see i wish i could go back to then when both my parents were both alive and most of my family was alive i miss them all.

It's a shame that classic spoken-word radio is dying out.

The way the BBC and ITV did their TV schedules and presentations back then *just* to me seemed more creative/special, and thus unique/magical back then!

Could our national anthem be played any slower?

Lol William and Harry , not Henry 7:04

Ok firstly I was born in 95. Secondly this is making me feel so Christmassy though it’s June and thirdly I love watching old telly adverts

Al Punto Con Jorge Ramos

1984 i was 11 now a proud grandad

6:04 The IBA Archive has the Engineering Announcements programme from 22nd October 1985 in full on its RU-vid channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9p-hxkOh0eg.html

That iconic music brought a tear to my eye. Evokes memories of happy times as a child growing up in the 50s and 60s. 😥

I wish god save the queen was my first night shutting off like on bbc 1

Must say, I do not remember them changing the theme from the classic one to all those shitty 1980s ones.

Now all we need left is footage of the "Noddy" camera moving

Looking at the clock, British television went to bed very early back then at 12.05am. In the states, ABC, CBS and NBC were all on air until at least 1am. Each had their own late night talk show - NBC had Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, CBS had Merv Griffin and ABC had Dick Cavett each on air until 1am.

8:39 She knew she goofed the word 'empire' so repeated the title

Oh the days of missing some of the first lesson of the morning watching some of Sydney 2000 🤣

Never forget Max.

Listened to the BBC WS in Belgium during the 1980s on shortwave. Was an important part of my day. "BBC World Service. The news, read by Pamela Crighton." "This is Tommy Vance with Rock Salad. Music on the heavier side." -Or something to that effect. How about those endless lists of local sports match scores? Tide listings? "The Brotherhood of Brass" 😊
