Bring back the fade to black!


Ah no, my favourite was the horizontal wipe from programme slide, to IVC, that Thames seemed to love in the 1970s.

The source genlock SC-H phase timing was always slightly out, so each wipe would end with Phillip Elsmore or Diddy David doing a sideways jolt at the transition end.

It wasn't until my first job, ten years later, until I discovered (and understood) what caused the jolt ! Very Happy

Did the Beeb use wipes? Don't remember.

They might have done between slides, but never in or out of them ?

I'm pretty sure BBC Northern Ireland did wipes (or maybe it was just a "box in" transition) from the symbol into programmes. This even happened in the early days of digital, but stopped when they started doing aspect-ratio switching.

What's the story with this Inside Out Drought special programme? I've got cable so I can only see 2 versions - London and East, is there one for each region even those not in drought?

Bizarrely I know there's an East version as Northern Ireland are showing it. They started with an odd announcement: 'even though it doesn't affect us yet here's a programme about the drought from our colleagues at BBC Norwich'. Couldn't they find anything more appropriate to show?

Thanks for that. Interesting the angle that the North West took, I assume that they all included the 2 packages that London/East shared (one on spain and one with Nick Miller in a plane).

Good programme by the way
