UK television history and presentation mainly but other things as well, especially on here.
Also the end credits of Call My Bluff were interesting because the copyright date wasn't in Roman numerals as was more common by this point in the 1970s #CallMyBluff
This logo with that music playing very loudly without warning after a period of silence
Also well worth noting is the specially-designed frontcap employed for this particular production:
Clicked through to the article and it says 2035 later in the text:
Here's something I've never seen before at the end of Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles on BBC One; firstly the Press Red Next Episode boxes descend into the top-right corner of the screen followed moments later by the Next episode box descending further to reveal a short playing video clip.
Also on ITV’s second day was something called Out Of Town. I presume Southern Television took over this format from Associated-Rediffusion when it came to air, though I hope farmers weren’t creating glow-in-the-dark sheep here.
Just noticed that from the early morning of Sunday 12 October Talking Pictures TV are repeating - wait for it - Eurotrash! So if you missed this series first time round or only saw bits like I did then here’s an opportunity to see what all the fuss was about. talkingpicturestv.co.uk/schedule/
That Atco logo looks like if the late-80s BBC Two logo had been ordered from Temu:
A moment ago it was claiming 'hamble' as one of the newest words. Certainly not, unless of course it's ignoring capitalisation...
I know it's easy to be sceptical with this one if you've never dealt with them before, but I backed their last offering and was delighted with the outcome. Perhaps there's an alternative platform but so far the choices are poor and may have their own greater issues.
I know some of you hate this account and have it blocked but this is one interesting/frustrating 'stopped clock' occasion even if it's fake news designed to wind up Mr Levine. Does underline there's still 'lost' archive and have been recent returns of Emergency Ward 10 possibly via ex-Polygram staff
Question for UK users not yet age-verified: Have you checked the 'Moderation' settings to see if any of your muted words are still present? Because after seeing a post which I thought would have been blocked I checked the list and found it contained precisely nothing and you can't add any words:
Watched some of #JokersWild on #RewindTV and couldn't help but notice some of the colour fringing visible on objects; Ray Cameron's lime green shirt in particular makes him look radioactive closeup compared to group shots. Red and purple fringing is evident elsewhere but not as noticeable.
Just because it's plums doesn't mean it's 'edgier'. Incidentally Google gives the alternative definition of 'edgier' as 'tense, nervous, irritable' which sounds more like an ad for a headache tablet and much more like it:
When Multi-Coloured Swap Shop started in 1976 it had a different number 01 288 8055 as displayed here, but the number was soon changed when someone else kept getting kids calling them because they misdialled the number. The main number used for BBC TV phone-ins changed again more than a decade later
