Don't you wish train drivers could still smoke pipes while driving? No one cared when BBC recorded him in 1980.

Actually half the BBC news programmes are not the most watched, further north you go the worse it get for the BBC. Border - ITV 14% ahead Anglia - ITV 9% ahead UTV - ITV 5% ahead, STV - STV 4% ahead, Granada - ITV 2% ahead and
Tyne Tees - ITV 1% ahead.

I think were heading towards ITV scrapping the 6pm programme and instead revising the local news to 10-12mins slot with ITV evening news. Maybe it could be pre-recorded at 6pm to provide a more local news, You could shut half the news rooms and get certain locations to record 3-4 local news.

A slice of BBC1 North from this day in October 1979.

In the Look North headlines, the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper leads to a special appeal during the ITV strike.

The thing about opening up TV archives is that sometimes, you can get too much of a good thing.

And now, international rugby league with Richard Madeley.

Just look at those old adverts!!!

UKPRES @ukpres1.bsky.social · 6d

So sad to hear of the death of the excellent Dame Patricia Routledge known mostly as Mrs Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. Our clip comes from Channel 4 in 1987, a LWT 1978 Alan Bennett play where Patricia plays Doreen alongside Prunella Scales Doris. RIP Patricia

UKPRES @ukpres1.bsky.social · 6d

Really sad to hear that Patricia Routledge has passed away. A fantastic actress best known for Keeping Up Appearances. We still think one of her greatest roles was Alan Bennet " A Woman of No Importance" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOob...

WOW I never new Hazel Irvine worked for ITV, I take it Hazel was poached by ITV from STV for Olympics? Jon Snow was covering for Julia Somerville as she was on maternity leave. I do like that ITV Frontcap.

The Clip Cymru goldmine delivers again.

How ITV Sport - during its last full-scale Olympic coverage (Seoul 1988) - reported the immediate fallout from the Ben Johnson affair.
