I forgot about this. The 7 O'Clock Spot...

I see there's no clock in this clip. I wonder if this has come from an off air version?

It certainly looks like it due to the long pause at the start of the titles. I would guess it was an off air copy given to the 'talented' member of the crew.
Good quality too, you can really notice that the sunrise is just a still image being zoomed on, and can see that infamous stale cup of tea towards the end of the titles very clearly.

I used to love the 7 O'Clock Spot, I remember Evans launching it by saying it was a special treat for everyone who was watching at seven o'clock because the audience was so low, a bit like the extra bit for late night viewers they used to do in the TFI repeat, and if the talents were any good they'd be "promoted" to appear later in the show.
One of my favourite ever things they did at seven o'clock one day was The Furthest We've Ever Been where they extended all the camera leads as far as possible to see exactly how far away they could get from the house, with a camera on the roof to illustrate exactly how far away they were. Used to love the inspired bits of improvisation like that. I offered that up to Ian Jones when he was doing Morning Glory and I was delighted when he included it.

Good bed - the Paula is painful to watch though.
There was recently a TV movie in Australia about Michael Hutchence which featured a pretty faithful reconstruction of that famous BB interview:

She's had a go, bless her. Not the best though...

In all honesty I don't think I've ever looked at it and thought that, until now. I wonder why that decision was taken. Maybe to imply a tv delay for some reason
Did it bug anyone else that the man stretching behind the TV wasn't in sync with the girl's body on the screen?

Maybe it didn't match up when they tried to do it in sync .
