When my house was being re done years ago the man who did it called jim said that the anglia statue was kept here as he worked for them I was told that by my grandad years ago

GÄtrei einen Alten brauchze

Getreu einen Alten brauuucheee?Neee

Interetingly, ATV didn't follow other regions by havings it's ident in front of the news or films, the only time i remember it happening was Mike Prince announcing over the ident into an edition of Different Strokes!

hits hard

Whenever I heard this reminds me of Punchlines, Russ Abbott's Madhouse, Weekend World and of course Play Your Cards Right.

TSW is from my neck of the woods 👍

1950s immigrant seems more English than many native borns today 😂

oh oh oh oh its gus hunnybun

My daughter was obsessed with this as a little girl. Thank you for uploading.

If you listen carefully you can hear it but very quietly

This logo looks impossible to remake

Its like a migraine attack

0:11 NET25 Star Center 1st Anniversary

I could watch this forever - it's fascinating. The way the three circles morph into the logo is so cool and seems light years ahead of every other ITV ident.

It's original and quirky, but when I see it, it doesn't make me think of Wales. And the jingle isn't even "Men Of Harlech".

I'll bet you any money, Gus honey bun hasn't aged aday since his last appearance on TV. I utterly and absolutely know this cos i stuck my hand up his arse and he's still got it and still waiting to work.

here comes the boy

Rusty: The Red Button is just a thing of the past, surely there’s no- Dog: Duck! Duck! Duck: What is it, dog? Dog: Can we push the Red Button? **attacks Red Button** Duck: Yes, dog. Rusty: …

an amazing tv company. I was little more than a toddler at the time of launch but loved it throughout the 80s and early 90s. much love to Ian Stirling!

When I was a small boy, in East Anglia, I wanted to grow up to be him - on a horse in armour rescuing people. Genuinely. Then I grew up and realised I didn't really like people all that much. 🤭 😆

HE LOOKS HAPPY DIDN'T HE HAVE A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP? HA! HA! HA!

CROSSROADS TIWAS AND PIPKINS WITH THAT TORTOISE WITH A BRUMMY ACCENT

I'm from Westward/TSW land. The first time I saw the first full Anglia ident I was "WOW". I still think we in the South West had the best regional TV service.

I love classic ITV!

This is perhaps the most epic startup theme of all time. Rediffusion deserved to last longer.

It makes me cross-eyed, but it's hypnotic, and I like it.

This brings back so many memories from my childhood!

Does anyone know how the music was made?

I worked for HTV in 80s and spoke to an old lag who said they had looked into colouring it for change to colour. Too expensive so we got the simplified blue/white HTV antenna thing instead.

Presumably the monochrome section was just for effect.

I remember an episode of some comedy prog. on the BBC - I think it was "the Goodies" - which involved a reading of the words of the poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". When it got to "… open wide, and they crossed over to the other side", the ATV logo was shown - unusual on the BBC at that time! (Anyone know/got-a-copy-of the relevant episode?)

I'm always impressed by the colour effects around (in this clip) 0:14. And I always expect it to segue into the dung … dung dung dung dung … of "Crossroads"🙂

Apparently Dan Farson the interviewer he had a drink problem and died in 1997 was the drink was the reason for his death? is not known.

Great ident. But ut always bothered me that the third blue circle didnt fit the fanfare timing.

Still but very forceful ident. Sudden appearance with the 'Ilkley Moor Bah Tat' sounding jingle.

Although we got HTV Wales, we used to tune into HTV West just to see Annie. She was so friendly and down to earth. Real shame what happened 😪

24 / 9 / 2008 it’s my birthday ✨

I bet it took forever to make for a wonderful ident animation I love it took hours to make for a few seconds I love the bit where the silver/grey morphs to blue I love it probably up there with Thames don't ask me which is my no 1 equal side of the coin

Apparrently this is now on display in the reception of Anglia House. I am going to make a pilgrimage there, because this is the ident for the ages.

Absolutely amazing ident.

More better than shows on itv today

that fanfare is *loud*…. anyways a good idea for a colo(u)r ident :)

They were up all night writing the lyrics.

I like that. Very classy, and I'm American, not British. Very stylish, chic, and impressive.

Love it, especially in 2x speed.

TWW to Harlech to HTV???
