| Eurovision Song Contest 1969 (France - reprise) - 361 sec
This is one of the great songs of our time. Frida Boccara sings "Un Jour, Un Enfant" for France at the 1969 Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid on 29/03/69. The song was joint winner with the UK, Spain and the Netherlands. This is her reprise performance of the song at the end of the show, followed by the end credits and Eurovision theme.
**In tribute to Frida Boccara, 1940-1996. A young lady with a wonderful voice.**

| | TV continuity and intro to Wmbledon 1985 (#1) - 573 sec
TV and Wmbledon nostalgia from 1985. The end of kids programme Chock-a-Block, BBD1 continuity (with a noticeable absence of programme trailers, by today's standards), and the start of the day's live coverage of Wmbledon 85 with Harry Carpenter on ladies semi-finals day. Then in the second clip (now about 10 mins into the live transmission), Dan Maskell and Virginia Wade set the scene on a hot sunny July day on Centre Courrt, as the crowd wait for the first match of the day, Martina Navratilova v Zena Garrison, to start. See more from this tape in part 2.

| | Granada closedown Nov 1986 (#3) - 308 sec
From Mon 10 Nov 1986, this is another in this short series of Granada closedown sequences. This time it's Jim Pope (for many years the voice of University Challenge) on the late shift in Manchester. A nostalgic reminder of the days of regional ITV stations, when the continuity announcer was allowed to inject some of their own personality into "Goodnight from Granada". The much loved closedown theme music is the 'New Granada Theme' by Keith Mansfield and Derek Hilton - a specially commissioned piece which was used from 1977 until Granada went 24 hours on 13 Feb 1988.

| | Channel 4 teletext, Aug 1986 - 566 sec
Taped in August 1986, this is a sequence from 4-Tel On View, Channel 4's daytime pages from teletext service. This was broadcast during the day, alternating with the test card, when there were no programmes scheduled. It's accompanied by some superb classical piano music (the main reason I recorded this in the first place). This is a 10 min extract from that tape.

| | Granada closedown June 1985 (#1) - 278 sec
From Fri 7 June 1985, a classic Granada closedown sequence with Colin Weston in the Manchester studios. A Granada "goodnight" was always something to look forward to at the end of the day, and a chance to hear that wonderful Granada theme music - a nostalgic reminder of how regional ITV used to be. The much loved closedown theme music is "The New Granada Theme" by Keith Mansfield and Derek Hilton - a specially commissioned piece which was used from 1977 until Granada went 24 hours on 13 Feb 1988, when these nightly closedown routines sadly came to an end.

From Mon 22 Sept 1986, here is another in this series of Granada closedown sequences that I recorded in the 80s. The final few moments of The Sweeeney are followed by a programme trailer and an ad break. Charles Foster is the announcer on the late shift in Manchester. The much loved closedown theme music is the 'New Granada Theme' by Keith Mansfield and Derek Hilton - a specially commissioned piece which was used from 1977 until Granada went 24 hours on 13 Feb 1988. Sadly, from this date closedowns were consigned to TV history.

Part 2/2. Continuing this nostalgic look back at ITV's regional stations, this is part 2 of the showreel of ITV idents and start-up films, 1955-92 (for part 1 see separate upload).
This ITV tribute features TV stations: Southern, Thames, Tyne Tees, TSW, TVS, TWW, Ulster UTV, Westward, Yorkshire YTV.
Part 1
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4oLyrPEuKcI
This is not a recent compilation - it dates from 1992. I believe it was compiled at TSW in its final months, but I can't be certain of this. What its intended purpose was, I don't know - possibly just an insiders nod to the rapidly changing face of ITV. I've had this VHS copy for many years, and I've now uploaded it to YouTube for all to enjoy and share in the TV nostalgia.
