The first day of ITV broadcasting to the East of England on 4.15 sharp, the launch of Anglia Television started with a (short snippet of a) programme entitled "Introducing Anglia" after the very first appearance of the famed silver knight on horseback proudly hoisting the flag of the Anglia TV region.

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.

Not my region, but Anglia produced some quality programmes for the network. Survival, Tales of the unexpected, Knightmare all come to mind, as well as the immensely popular Sale of the Century.

So first we think we are about to be invaded by France. Then the clock countdown was the longest minute of our lives. And then to be told East Anglians have special needs, so of course they need to be reminded of all the towns and counties they live in, followed by a gentle introduction of xylophone music in case the excitement might be too much for us. 😂

How far did a television transmitter broadcast to, we in the Midlands could pick up Granada and the AtV from Litchfield but could not receive Anglia.

BBC Television arrived in East Anglia in 1955 with the opening of the Tacolneston transmitter on 1st February 1955. In October 1955, the full mast was operational expanding coverage. Anglia Television in 1959 launched from their Mendlesham transmitter

My family owned a fairly large hotel in Cambridge (long since gone) but Nanna remembers they had a television pre war as a hotel feature that could sometimes pick up transmissions from London although it was outside the 40 mile radius. Definitely has one before the coronation of Elizabeth II in their house in the Cambridge suburbs

@LedFloyd333 Год назад

@@DiseaseShaker I never understood why they switched the Belmont transmitter over to YTV. It covers only a tiny bit of Yorkshire (near the Humber). And the rest is in Lincs, Notts and Norfolk.

@PriddhasPengu 7 месяцев назад

@@LedFloyd333 From what I've heard, Belmont was given as part of a series of compromises by the IBA for giving the Bilsdale transmitter to Tyne Tees, for which Yorkshire loudly called foul. So a blameless Anglia had to take the fall for Yorkshire's demands.

‘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.

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.

@davepoole9520 2 года назад

Crikey! It's like a suicide mission. No matter how exciting a new TV channel must have felt in those days those beeps must have tested the patience of most viewers for the first minute and a bit and then grainy footage explaining what's in East Anglia as if the viewers were in Malawi rather than locals who knew damn well what East Anglia was! I bet the first programmes were pure Partridge!

@TheClockwise770 2 года назад

I am sure Alan Partridge could have made a considerably better job of this. Love the Stewart Russell welcome @

@anonUK Год назад

Much of ITV has always been Alan Partridge- but then, so are BBC Sport and Five Live. The only ITV stations which ever really tried being anything else were Granada and Thames- and Granada threw in the towel about the same time as Thames lost its franchise.

I don't know about 1959, judging by the PICTURE QUALITY, Anglia Television was launched in 1859 by John Logie Baird! 😂😂😂 ...... After watching that, "Should've Gone To Specsavers" to be tested for GLAUCOMA and AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION!

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 2 года назад

It's a telerecording/kinescope print. Most surviving things from back then are preserved that way because it was cheaper. There is a process called VidFIRE for restoring the picture back to a video look and the BBC use it for things like old 1960s Doctor Who episodes.

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 2 года назад

Also the up in the air stuff at the start would have been done on film as it would have been very awkward to load an OB camera onto a helicopter in those days.

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 2 года назад

The Anglia knight would have been a film insert too - even after colour was introduced they quite often used grotty 16mm fadey colour copies.
