Only over the road from where ITN is now based was where it all happened that long ago, over 3 decades in total. Noticed Ros Landor of "C.A.T.S. Eyes" fame driving the Renault 25 in the ad for the car.
My dad used to get a train from there every night at about that time. By some miracle he had that day off. Hate to think what might have happened if he hadn't
That's twice I see frank butchers daughter Diane from eastenders in these adverts first was her as a school kid in electricity advert and second in the Argos advert at the desk with out now sign behind her
Presumably because TV-am's newsgathering operated at night for the following morning's programme - whereas Thames's would have clocked off after the late bulletin.
Might be to do with TV AMs Studio being closer to Kings Cross, they were at Camden Lock, if memory serves ITN were at the South Bank Tower near Waterloo at that time
@Daniel Factor It's not ITV's fault, it was Tyne Tees who picked the adverts, and they'll have done it long before they knew an underground station was going to explode.
