Do you know what square eyes, you are brilliant because you find things on tapes and post pictures on here and there are some things I never thought I would see again because no one has any tapes of it left.

I must get round to encoding my large collection of Central Idents in the eraly 90's which I have on several tapes.
Also I must have a look at a load of Betamax tapes someone gave me which are dated in the mid 80's. Could find some interesting stuff, if only I had a Betamax player that worked! Although my dad is working on it (He fixes TV's & Video's for a living)

Not GMTVs early days but the Opening night of BBC...

and the first UK advertisment,
packshot from the first commercial shown ITV it was for Gibbs SR toothpaste. It was produced by Brian Palmer and made by AB-Pathé for advertising agency Young & Rubicam.

Photos and info from http://www.terramedia.co.uk/ worth a visit,media time line is good.

By the way, the GMTV presenter is Mike Wilson (Sky News Biz Editor)

Butof course GMTV did not actually launch with Wilson.
It was Holmes and Davis who actually launched the station, as it was on a Friday.
Mike left Sky and then came back again.

I have the launch of YTV if anyone cares.

yey! Please post lauch on here chesh!
(YTV)

You mean LAUNCH.

And it is incorporated into '20 Years of YTV' that Yorkshire sent me on that tape, nothing at all special.
It is quite literally a bloke tapping a headstone...
