Hello,

Has anyone been able to find online the advert for BBC [Radio] Essex 103.5 that plays occasionally on BBC1 East? It features picturesque scenes from areas around Essex, chosen presumably because they would be recognisable to those who live locally, and set to a version of Unchained Melody that I have not heard anywhere else.

Many thanks.

I know it's the fleetwoods version of unchained melody.
The other BBC promos are on the BBC Youtube.

You're in luck, they played out the trail in question during the very BBC1 East junction I was recording:

Essex's isn't as good as London, Newcastle, Tees and WM's. Doesn't seem as atmospheric.

Compare and contrast it to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgIdEObU1Yo

(BTW, that is the September version, BBC Midlands used a new and updated version just before the news update with a flash effect on the text).

At least the WM version on You Tube doesn't mention Phil Upton or Joanne Malin!

They ought to do versions for some of the other presenters on the station.

Every mention of WM on the Beeb is always accompanied by a plug for Upton or Malin.

There are other presenters on the station equally deserving of plugs & trails, Ed Doolan for one. He's been there the longest!
