Operation Desert Storm gives BBC 1's schedule a bit of a kicking, as well as the CA's introduction to Neighbours.

And also the Closedown from the night before, where they don’t actually closedown, in that sense:

And an appearance from the news dog/hound logo on the copyright caption.

Nice to see the BBC1 from the globe being used as a logo on that menu, something they did on Daytime UK at the time too, of course in a year or so they had a proper logo to do the same thing.

Talking of Daytime UK time , I remember that getting a kick from Desert Storm too. Most of its programmes were replaced with news and it never really came back in the same format again and the name ditched after the summer

I would have thought that Paul Coia gets that credit for the CA rather than the test transmissions.

Maybe Barri did the CA into Play School the following morning?


Come to think of it, wasn't Play School shown on the morning of the aborted evening launch?

No first episode was the morning after the aborted launch. It was the first programme on BBC2 (unless you count the rather makeshift news bulletin the night before)

Maybe Barri did some sort of apology announcement out of vision before Gerald Priestland appeared?

I don't think there was anything on before Gerald Priestland except a caption. I think John Tusa was meant to be the first person on the channel

A full news bulletin from That’s North Yorkshire, uploaded by an unknown person called Greg Scott:

Not exactly “Gold”, isn’t it?

One man's gold is another's man's trash.

Guess you’re right, for all we know we could be hailing That’s TV as the gold standard of television at some point in the distant future. Sounds crazy, but if Trump and Brexit can happen, than anything can happen.
