Big Ends

You can die dignity-free as Southern did, where their final programme included a bitter speech from the chairman as well as Richard Stilgoe:

I'm just glad TV Forum hasn't closed prematurely and been hastily replaced by Independent Forum Service for Television Branding and Presentation... Wink

I’m glad we won’t end like The Sopranos Very Happy

A video here supposedly of a Channel 4 closedown from 1996- anyone know if this is genuine or a mock? I don't remember there ever being a clock in the circles era, I've never seen it anywhere else.

I’m pretty sure that’s a mock. It does look quite real though.

I wonder how many other TV personalities have lurked here over the years, or even posted under a made up name. I can think of a few on screen TV geeks who must have visited at some point.

Greggles, NickyS he appeared on news 24 I’m sure.

I think Ian White from Look North Leeds also posted here.

All these lurkers and yet still no official word from J*ron Br*ss. Has anyone tried emailing him?

I know I’ve asked this only about a day ago, but because I’m an impatient person I shall ask again... what did Jaron do?

Asa thank you for creating TV Forum and I have enjoyed participating for 18 and a half years. Is there any way a group of us could maybe look at continuing this Forum in another form? I would not know where else to go to get the latest information.

Rumour is that the TomD Netowork is being brought back as a replacement, watch this space for details Wink


please... no...

then netowork take over internet, then Asa please don’t ban me, then it’s scrambled, then sixth channel launch in March, then i’ve saw Ceefax closedowns in 1998, then new look launching BBC1 autumn. Wink

One of the first posts i saw in the gallery was this by dubble_bubble_nath asking a 'what if' scenario in a case of a nuclear attack deserves an honorable mention. https://tvforum.uk/mockdesigns/nuclear-attack-mocks-1795


I think the post by MrTomServo in that thread remains my all-time forum favourite. Shame the photos no longer work as they were equally impressive.

You can see most of the photos here:

I’m really shocked by this. I’m a fairly new member here (though I’d been lurking for a while beforehand) and I’ve really enjoyed my time here. Thanks to Asa for his dedication, all the moderators and all the brilliant members that helped make the website so great.

Also, what happened in Jarongate? I’d love to know.
