September 11

Just noticed on those clips, there's quite a lot of swearing in some - did they bleep it or dip the sound when the clips were shown on the news?

It's really very strange watching these clips - when the second plane hit on live tv, the newsreader didn't even seem to notice!

Interesting also is that ITV put out this ident before the news:

It looks like it was made in paint!

Do you have a link to the last report before the attacks please?

You mean all the "holy s hit" s?! Well as far as I remember, most staions played them out as soon as they got their hands on them, and left them in. Obviously you couldn't dip the sound on the live stuff.

The Guardian's Weblog Special has loads of links on it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/weblog/special/0,10627,550687,00.html

Just to correct soemthing someone else poster earlier on. It was Peter Dobie that stepped in with Jane Hill after Val and John had finished. Gavin then joined Jane later on. It was Carrie Gracie and Gavin Esler throughout the evening.

For some reason I cant get the video links to work on the televisionarchive site. Has anyone else had the same problem??

Me too.

No, it was actually Huw Edwards and Jane Hill before 1900.

However Jane Hill and Gavin Esler did a bulletin together for a joint news special.

I do think it was Gavin Esler and Jane Hill that presented after.

This Breaking News Strap was used before 1800 - it turned yellow

However it might be Peter and Jane before these though...but highly unlikely as it was then Carrie Gracie and Peter Dobbie later with the late night coverage.

This post hardly makes any sense I know...
Anorakism is over.

I recall Asa saving the entire World Trade Centre thread on TV Forum. Anyone know if that's still around?

Dunno but when I saw it first it was full of some idiot blathering on about whether Crossroads would be repeated because it was interrupted for rolling coverage

I remember that Asa or someone else put it back online for 11 September 2002, not at full quality, but all of it was there and it was quite a big thread.

That's something I'd like to read too.

Yes, I'd like to look at that again. It was lurking in the Extra Forum several months ago (might be over a year by now though!), and I remember that all the text was there, but most of the images had disappeared because people had deleted them from their webspace. I can't believe how long ago that was now - March 2004 marks TV Forum's 3rd year! Crikey!
