Will this include the original Harlech ident? The framerate suddenly drops 3.7 seconds in.
By the way, the announcer in the LWT '1970s In-Vision Continuity' image ( http://thetvroom.com/p-itv-1-lwt-past-b.shtml ) is Barry Haynes. I've emailed you this a few times before, but it doesn't seem to have been fixed.

The vast majority of video clips that were captured from the late 1990s through to 2001 will be replaced with better quality versions, with a larger viewing area, over the next six weeks or so.

Hi Billy. Yes, there definitely appears to be a problem with that Harlech ident clip. The issue appears to have arisen because the Real Producer software couldn't cope with the complex pattern during the animation of that ident - well, that coupled with the fact that the picture quality on the tape wasn't the best. I've dug out a better quality SVHS version of the ident and encoded it at higher bitrate than the previous one. It's now online and seems ok.
Apologies. The page was updated yesterday.

I'm surprised that a brand new channel (ITV4) has had no coverage, yet a lick of paint* on a news channel (Sky News) has a fair few pages dedicated to it. 
* Okay, a multi-million pound refresh - probably more than ITV4's budget.
