Here I'll submit all the occasional TV bits and bobs I throw together when I have too much time on my hands. It also serves as filler for when I'm taking one of my pauses in the middle of my inventions.

We'll start off with an old-style BBC Two holding slide for The Flintstones . Well they did show this favourite of mine on their schedule last year, so I thought why not. It looks almost genuine if I say so myself!

Now, if we could intercept teletext in an MS-DOS shell, I wager this is what it'd look like - give or take a few pixels.

The Flintstones again, but this time the FilmFour way! Well, a slightly different style; it's a sort of holding slide I thought up, but I have the feeling it might set a trend. Note the year in black text: obviously they'd have to put that in so people will know which version of the film they're tuning into! Not that they wouldn't know, of course... but.

A part of a Front Row ident package I've been playing around with. Not entirely sure it'll come to fruition yet though.

Perhaps the simplest one of them all: the One '05 breakdown caption. I don't think there's a high-quality screen of the original out there, is there...?

The ITV4 pre-launch slide. This was meant to precede the idea of creating a mock-up of the launch countdown until that ended up on the shelf!

And finally, AoStH in its first home, Channel 4; an idea for its holding slide. (Believe me, if I could get some better picture, I'd use it!)

A mock-up of one of those 80s holding slides for a cartoon nobody remembers.
