It's Esther with teeth and cross eyed Cyril, LOL!

Noticed they showed the wrong BBC1 ident before the 1975's edition of That's Life!

Odd they showed the 1969 Globe ident before That's Life, good to see Thames and Granada frontcaps before their repsective programmes. John Sargent also gave us an odd disclaimer before That's Life, ie. telling people that it was from 30 years ago and has nothing to do with the companies today.

Or in Not The 9 O'Clock News/That's Life style: "I'm Sorry this has got nothing to do with us"

I've no problem with that, it's removing the old idents to do so that I object to. I like to see things as they were originally. Same as collectors of old toys like to have the boxes with them.

That's fair enough I suppose.

The idents for ITV programmes were actually on the programmes because they appeared on all the other companies. BBC idents very rarely appear on the front of their programmes in their archive as they cut to or played out live before the programme.

What was that albatross interlude? I had to leave the channel there, so I couldn't see it all. Brilliant episode of The Sweeney though!


Would it be a colour trade film?


Yup, it didn't say it was an Interlude, just looked like a bunch of Pelican style Birds not doing very much, with music to go in the background.

Edit: It's on again at 10.30pm, colourful music, though the birds are trying to fly, so that's a correction from the original post.

Also another clip of 'Newsday' with Angie Rippon again.


Ah, must have been BP's "Among the Pelicans" then! http://webfax.org.uk/602/

Would have thought they'd have shown a more memorable film such as "The home made car"

I hope the football isn't taking up BBCi on Freeview later on like it is now, this is unavoidable I suppose, but still very annoying.

edit: and it looks like they've put the wrong globe at the beginning of EE.

The year I've been looking forward to most and I have to watch EastEnders with flipping commentary! Even John Sergeant said Press Red.

Football rules again! Rolling Eyes

To think the actress who played Ethel is still alive and is 94!

EDIT: Oh that was poor. Using the mid-ninties credit slide at the end of EastEnders!

What was that about weith the end credits? In the 1990s style with scrolling up credits? That episode was shown by UK Gold last year with the original credits.

Those credits were wrong for the end of EastEnders too! LOL!

Arse someone got there before me! Smile

Do they really need the Football on BOTH Freeview BBCi channels?! Evil or Very Mad

i'm shooting off an email to the BBC at the moment. I do not see any need for the football to hog three channels.
