Forgotten Television Wonders: a nostalgic retro-fest for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. Includes a time capsule of classic (and sometimes bizarre) CBBC and CITV clips, vintage football recordings, and other assorted oddities from decades past - all rediscovered on old videotapes.
Grandstand clips (8/11/86)
Roland Ratzenberger and Philippe Favre battle it out for the chequered flag in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, the horse racing results are in, Great Britain's rugby league team have been stuffed by Australia and coach Maurice Bamford has some explaining to do, we go round the football grounds as we near full-time, and then it's over to the Vidiprinter as Steve Rider gives us the final scores - all from Saturday, 8th November, 1986's Grandstand.
That Ratzenberger vs Favre duel is really something, and, without spoiling the outcome, the eventual winner takes it by no more than half a car length. Also fighting for position are British drivers Steve Robertson and Pete Rogers, the latter of whom was sadly killed during a race less than a year on from this.
Meanwhile, in the football, the two Manchester clubs are unbelievably rubbish. City register a victory, but it's only their second since February (we're in November, remember), and United take an embarrassing beating in their new manager's first match in charge away to Oxford. He'll obviously never amount to anything.
Huge thanks to Ben for providing this recording.

It was on this weekend 30 years ago (at the time of writing) that the catastrophic events of Imola changed Formula One forever. The great Ayrton Senna was killed during the race itself, and being a three-time champion meant that the tragedy the day before was overshadowed. The death of Roland Ratzenberger during qualifying has sadly become something of a footnote, or even the answer to a morbid...

Just in case anyone was left on tenterhooks by that last score cutting off, it was Notts County 2 Walsall 1.
The quality and randomness I again apologize for, but at least everyone is enjoying these. :) Yeah, we do have Uno still here in the UK, the regular one and a few variants. 2002 obviously was a year that they tried getting kids to be part of it by contacting them, having their opinions be on teh show etc. it was a campaign they seem to have taken very seriously. McDonald's UK sure saved money on that Monsters Inc. Happy Meal ad, as they simply took most of an NTSC American ad (done by Pixar themselves) and just added a British narrator, exclusive text and an end image, they certainly wanted to get their monies worth from using them to create the ad I'm sure and they must have done, as it would have been used in many more countries around the world. Ah yes that Walkers ad.....Erm moving on. :D DFS, they should just basically have their 4 years interest free credit and nothing to pay for the first-year thing a permanent part of their store. But what can you do? :D
No problem with the quality, and randomness is good! Thanks as always for the tape - I love these ones that show exactly what the era was like. All that texting and e-mailing in is a far cry from what it was like when CITV first went live back in 1987! And seeing which films were big at the time and whether they're held in high regard now (Monsters Inc passes that test) is always interesting.
@@VideotapeFTW Of course it would, it's a Disney/Pixar film, they usually for the most part do standup well. :) I'm glad you're enjoying the content too, despite the randomness. I do recall going on to the CITV website back in the day. It did carry over the blue sky motive they had in the early part of the decade, along with the large yellow semi-circles which you click on to access different parts of the site, at least that's all from memory. I never imagined that one day I would be talking about the old CITV website. :D
Is that it so with the Telly Tots or is there still more also I thought Kipper was aired in full widescreen when it was on Telly Tots
It was in widescreen, however, this is clearly recorded from analogue television so therefore this recording is in 14:9 and 4:3.
That was all that's on the tape I'm afraid. The aspect ratio depends on what TV you had and if it could support widescreen or not. If they are black bars, then it supports 14:9, if it didn't, then it's a 4:3 broadcast.
Sorry to hear that this weekend would have been the anniversary of an infamous F1 race and qualifying where two men lost their lives, one who is seen here. :( But at least Roland Ratzenberger as you said seemed to have a sense of humour when he was doing this clip.
It was a surreal weekend. Like you say, though, better to remember the happier times - it's absolutely mad that this Race of the Century ever even happened at all, but I'm glad it did. :-)
@@VideotapeFTW I'm surprised Roland Rat was never caught due to his very obvious cheating. It would have been a bit of a laugh though if Errol decided to tamper with Roland Rat's car instead. :D

Amazing stuff as always. Thanks again David and VideotapeFTW
You're very welcome indeed - glad you're enjoying the uploads!
Thank you again Mr. McGuinness. :)
I don't remember Little Ghosts at all but Cardcaptors and Digimon were fantastic. How 2 was great as well. 17:28 25:39 I have nothing nice to say about the McDonald's adverts that manipulated young minds without even mentioning McDonald's itself. 22:57 That has to be the highest-budget DFS ad that I've ever seen. That DFS Sale has to end someday.
Can you imagine being the one person who buys a sofa from DFS on the one day per decade they _don't_ have a sale on? Anyway, I've actually got a couple of Little Ghosts on my channel, e.g. czcams.com/video/GqDEnaO-ceU/video.html - I haven't decided yet whether to upload the ones that were part of this recording. I may do.
CITV BOB HEATLIE
Hey rat fans! I was at my mums recently and she brought down from the attic some of my old records from childhood. One of them was Roland Rats Rat Rapping.😂
Masterpiece! I'm sure I had a Roland Rat bowl or lunchbox or flask or something along those lines back then. He was absolutely everywhere for a while.
@@VideotapeFTW yeah, he got pretty huge in popularity, didn't he. I think i had his teddy too. I was only young, but i remember him more from his TV-AM days than his time at the BBC.
I've heard Roland be referred to (possibly by himself) as the rat that saved the sinking ship - TV-am was in serious trouble until he came along and took the nation by storm. I think they overtook the BBC in terms of viewing figures thanks to him, which was why the Beeb poached him. But he fell pretty flat there, never found his niche, while TV-am replaced his holiday slot with Wacaday, and the rest is history.
@@VideotapeFTW Oh, man. Such good memories of watching wacaday and wide awake club. It was a great time to be a kid. Great TV.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Wacaday was _mandatory_ holiday viewing! (Apart from for two of my cousins who got banned from watching it because one absolutely brained the other trying to play Mallett's Mallet.) There are a handful of clips on my channel - absolutely legendary television made with zero budget in a tiny corner of a studio.
RIP Roland Ratzenberger - who was the "other" driver who perished at Monza the weekend Ayrton Senna died.
30 years ago this weekend, in fact. I've also just uploaded a bit of Grandstand with Roland Ratzenberger racing in his Formula Ford days: czcams.com/video/cyq7KXaJj0I/video.html
Imola not Monza
@@johnwade7582 Yep, you're right. Apologies.
Ooooooooooh Cardcaptor Sakura! Also I refuse to call it by its dub name, the Nelvana dub cut a lot of pivotal moments, including Shaoran's crush, Yukito's relationship with Sakura's big brother, even the final scene with Sakura giving the teddy bear to Shaoran, and the final ending with "Platinum" and Sakura's message to the viewers! Nonetheless it's great to see even more CITV, I wish it could have been before this but oh well any era is a good era!
I may just have another CITV link to come soon-ish from a slightly earlier era which I think you'll really like. :-)
@@VideotapeFTW Ooooooooooh! I'm excited! I love all eras but the 1998-01 era has always been my favorite. I guess because of how it has brought me together with some amazing friends over the years and especially inspired my channel. Also it got me into Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon Adventure, 02 is my favorite and I see it featured here too! I wish they dubbed "Break up" and actually gave "I wish" a proper English version instead of the crap in the dub. I couldn't watch Tamers it felt way too boring but I LOVED "The Biggest Dreamer"
The FCC and Canadian regulations didn't want to address underage or homosexual relations, hence the edits. Though Matt Hill being Kero was a bit of a misstep in the casting I will admit that. Nothing against him, but that voice for Kero was all wrong.
@@David315842 Could've given Kero a country accent to be closer to Osakan dialect as possible.. But it was Canada
@@QueenofVHS More so they could have given him a cuter sounding voice for his burrowed form which is what Bang Zoom Entertainment did when they did an uncut dub for the second movie.
i’m too young to remember this cause obv i was 1 years old in 1985. but i do remember watching and seeing Roland Rat in the late 80’s into the early 90’s on TV-am
Roland Rat actually defected to the BBC and got his own Saturday evening series at some point, but it was never as good as his TV-am days. He was much funnier when he _thought_ he was the star but wasn't, rather than actually having his name top of the bill.
@@VideotapeFTW of course! silly me!
Did they air Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Seasons 1-3 on Fox Kids UK in 2003 and 2004?
The classic theme tune: Up above the streets and houses Bungle's flying by, opens up his hairy bum and shi*s in Jeffrey's eye. 😆😆
The golden moment
In case anyone forgot, Johnny Vegas' character with Monkey was called 'Al'. Sorry I just felt like pointing that out. :D
See Ninja Storm in Fox Kids material is pretty wild, not going to lie.
When it began though, I do believe it was one of the shows on the newly introduced 'Jetix' block as far as I can remember, but it was aired as part of Fox Kids.

He may have had to serve time for domestic abuse against his girlfriend at the time if he was still alive. Probably not, but I think it was because of that action that caused him enough shame to ultimately make the decision to take his own life.

Was this ever shown in the US??? I never saw it.
Not widely, I don't think, but it's difficult to find any concrete information. Someone told me they once saw it very early in the morning on Nickelodeon, but I can't vouch for that.
@VideotapeFTW early morning was a weird time in the early 80's for kid's shows. On Sat mornings when I would wake up before mom, used to watch a show called New Zoo Review. Now THAT was grippy AF!!!! The Hippo esp freaked me out because I thought her nostrils were her soulless eyes!!!! 😂😂 I didn't notice her eyes till later on. 🤦🏻♂️ The imagination of a 4 year old.

In the UK it was somewhere around September 2004 from memory
@@simonbennett158 really that late?, my mind thinks it was around summer 2003 for some reason. I don’t know why. Because the last two seasons of Power Rangers I watched were Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder. But I don’t associate those two seasons when it was called FOX Kids.
@@simonbennett158 Just looked it up, it was April 2004 that FOX Kids started to rebrand to Jetix in the U.K, but wouldn’t fully rebrand until January 2005 For some reason my mind thinks it was the summer of 2003, it’s funny how your mind remembers things differently. It took a full year to fully rebrand from January 2004 to January 2005. They started with slowly rebranding it to Jetix in April 2004 with some time slots with the Jetix brand and some time slots with the FOX Kids brand. It wouldn’t be until January 2005 that it would be fully rebranded to Jetix.

Ooo the power rangers history show that would’ve aired at the end of this. Do you have footage of that show aswell?
No, I'm afraid that wasn't on the tape - sorry.
Sorry about that. But I think it may have been a clip show of sorts. Though I do recall having the behind the scenes of Ninja Storm recorded somewhere, maybe this 'History show' is with that, but it's probably on another tape that I haven't sent to VideoTapeFTW yet, and no I don't know which one, as all my present tapes are unlabeled, so they could have anything on there. But I'm sure it might turn up one day maybe? however if it is just a clip show of sorts, then he wouldn't have been allowed to post it on here anyway, due to copyrights.
@@David315842 I haven't come across that yet, but I did stumble upon a behind-the-scenes making of Sabrina, which was interesting to see. I'm weighing up whether I can upload or not.
@@VideotapeFTW I think I know which one you're talking about. The one where Dec actually interviews Sabrina's actress Melissa Joan Hart. I think that one should be safe. It isn't too long either from what I can remember, but perhaps it was longer than I thought? Still, it's behind the scenes rather than an actual episode, so I can't really see anything wrong with that.
Rods dancing is always so funny. Strange seeing him without Emu though
Yeah, and it's weird seeing him performing not wearing a suit or some sort of costume.

There may not be any TV series plans currently beyond Cosmic Fury right now, but there are plans for another feature film to be made. As far as I'm aware this plan is still being considered.

It was my first World Cup and I was 10 years old I was living in Burundi watching this. As an Ethiopian I was of course rooting for Cameroon I remember watching the first match where a 9 man team beat Maradonna's Argentina with a goal from an amazing leaping header from Oman Biyik. I cried of course when Cameroon just barely lost to England. Interestingly enough, a year later my dad got posted to Cameroon and we moved there. I was so excited cause it was the land of Roger Milla, Makanaky and all those great Cameroonian players. So many great memories, when life was so much more vivid.

Fox Kids doing NO research into the rangers at all. Having a mysterious Gold Ranger and then the guy who would become the Gold Ranger being next in the countdown (That would be Jason played by Austin St. John, recently being investigated for a COVID charity scam but nothing has been proven yet as far as I'm aware of his involvement, just allegations). If I knew you had this and were going to upload it, I wonder if there was any way to blur Wild Force Red Ranger Cole's face (Ricardo Medina Jr. ). It's just what he deserves after the actor murdered his roommate and served a jail sentence because of it. I wish I was making that up, but I'm not. :( And right after is Tommy, R.I.P. Jason David Frank. And of course he's listed TWICE! Then there's Pua Magasiva (Shane the Ninja Storm Red Ranger), who like JDF, committed suicide. 'sighs' It's 'Dana', not 'Donna', you Fox Kids cockney idiot! In fact, Fox Kids were idiot's period! The evolution to Jetix by Disney was probably a God send. I was actually surprised to see a recycled Coco Pops high diving ad seen again with a 2001 copyright date by Kellogg's. :) The Honey B's ad would have had Disney animators working on it for sure. :) I wouldn't be surprised if that Irn Bru ad with the baby in it did get MANY complaints. :D Ah the irony of having 'Zoids' advertised on a show which has mecha in it called 'zords'. LOL. :D McDonald's playing the field there with a dual Hasbro/Bandai promotion. :) Yeah that Legend of Zelda ad was epic with the use of Mozart's Dies Irae in there. :) Yep, this would be before teh may half-term, plus that June 2nd release date for the Ultimate Rangers DVD and Video helps confirm it. Thanks again for uploading this. :)
I think you put more research into that comment than Fox Kids put in this campaign! I remember reading about that stabbing at the time, but didn't draw the connection here. According to Wikipedia, that Irn Bru ad got more than 50 complaints, though I doubt they were disappointed with the free publicity. Funny you should mention Jetix, as one of your tapes had a good half hour or more of clips from that channel, too (coming soon). Thanks as always!
@@VideotapeFTW I was a fan of the "Saban Era" of the show and watched a few of the Disney seasons of the show. Oh yeah, Irn Bru were getting publicity, but just for the wrong reasons. I do find the one with the old woman funny though. :D Jetix was the successor to Fox Kids. It started off as a program block on Fox Kids, but then it became its own channel around 2005. Nice to see some continuity of that survived too. :)
monkey and Johnny Vegas end up adverted pg tips
Which they did from 2007 to 2015.
In the same year, Paramount Comedy Channel had replaced its 1999 ident package which was the 'Sparkling Glitter-era' with the '3D Cube-era' ident package from 2002-2005 and the word 'Channel' was removed from the name and became 'Paramount Comedy'.
0:30 - That Simpsons clip was from the Series 3 episode 'Flaming Moe's' which I have it on a DVD set and on a VHS compilation, 'The Simpsons Go To Hollywood'. This was ITV Digital's last ditched attempt of a barker channel promo to attract more subscribers of this DTT service, they signed a deal with the Premier League on a £315 million deal, but Carlton and Granada, the same ones that homogenised ITV couldn't afford it all, so their football deal ultimately murdered off ITV Digital
Yeah, they gambled everything on the football and lost. ITV aren't the only ones who have done that, but they were by far the highest profile.
@@VideotapeFTW Told you that football killed ITV Digital, LOL. :D
@@David315842 Charles Allen and Michael P. Green should be ashamed of themselves.
@@David315842 That's what I meant by "financial incompetence on their own part" in the description! :-) But Sky refusing to carry the ITV Sport channel was a dirty tactic that also played a major part.
@@VideotapeFTW It may have been dirty, but Rupert Murdoch can decide what his company can and can't broadcast. It might be ethically unsound, but it wasn't illegal. Sometimes companies do screw each other over as it seems to be the case here.
I do believe that this was their last final major promo before the Football Association and the Premier League destroyed this service. :D It was the fact that ITV put their eggs into one football basket that ultimately cost them the service as they couldn't manage to pay the high fees that were being demanded of them to air all their matches. Which seems far less sinister than corporate sabotage, but there you go. Likely from around Feb-March 02. Thanks again for uploading this. :)
True, but there were definitely dirty tricks afoot. For some reason Sky never saw cable as direct opposition, but other broadcasters were and they'd stop at nothing to put them out of business. Not that ITV Digital didn't deserve anything else after their own mismanagement. Either way, thank _you_ for the tape, as always!

If Ben has some Channel 4 Schools / 4Learning stuff, I hope he sends some of it to you.
Hopefully, but to be frank I'm not really expecting to receive anything more from Ben. I'm still going through some recordings he sent me a little while ago (including this vid), though, so the well hasn't run dry yet.
@@VideotapeFTW The sad thing is that Ben may have dumped some tapes after putting the continuity bits into what is now deceased channel.
Yeah, I hope that's not true, but don't know for certain.
This must be dated February 2002
Going by what else was around it on the same tape, it may even be the first week of March.
The UK Gold bit is cut
This is exactly how it was on the tape - I wonder why it was changed.
@@David315842 From what I remember, the version of Sky One on OnDigital/ITV Digital was an alternative version as they didn't have the digital terrestrial rights to certain programmes (besides the ones shown on the promo at the beginning) so it doesn't surprise me that the same applied with the BBC and UK Gold
@David315842 I see but ITV Digital knew what was about to come.
@@David315842 Sadly, ITV Digital went bust
@@David315842 Was Rock Profile a BBC programme at this point? Or was it independently made?
In 1982 I was very fortunate to have stayed 6 months at a little hotel in Aspley Guise (Holt Hotel?). George Chisolm lived in the village and the Hotel's chef, Jim, was a jazz guitarist. Every week, there'd be an impromptu jazz session based around George and Jim, plus any musicians in the area, especially jazz musicians playing at the Stables Jazz Club in Milton Keynes. The cellar concerts were legendary. Nice memories!! Nice people!!
