- Anglia Television from Xmas Day 1985. The period covers from the exit of film Moonraker with Ads, ITV Xmas day programme promos, ITN News, In vision continuity.
Some of the lengthy pauses between links might suggest that the Anglia staff were down the Pub!
Apologies for some of the Jitter which was not on original recording and appears to be caused by DVD recorder
There’s a peculiar sense of comfort in watching these old clips. Feels less stressful than today. Happy days
More innocent...less “fast”
I agree 💯
So many great memories,...from a time when telly at Christmas was a total delight, and a real treat, ..with so many great programs on.......miss those wonderful times,...🎀 merry Christmas to all watching in 2019 🎀
The Anglia knight on horseback and that theme music are such a part of my childhood.
RIP Carol Barnes, a beautiful newsreader,
@Seymour Butts Maybe he was referring to her intonation. Some are good at it and some aren't. Then again maybe he just fancied her.
All these years and I never got to see Marmalade The Cat's little dance!
And what a beauty he was!
I like the comment on "Anglia staff down the pub". Now's here a true story. That's exactly where the Anglia staff where. The Anglia TV continuity announcer in clip is the late great Michael Speake. As a train driver in Norwich in the eighties I & my mates used to hang out in Ritz'ies night club after a late evening shift; which was half way between Anglia House and the Anglia TV Theatre Studios in Anglia Square, Norwich. Michael used to flit out between shows to the club for a few bevies before rushing back to the studios to do his continuity bit. Anglia was the pioneer of 24 hour TV. He was great. Now Westward TV viewers will know about Gus Honeybun the birthday bear. When colleague Helen McDermot moved from Westward to Anglia she brought the idea with her. Anglia already had a birthday club but expanded it by creating BC (Birthday Club Bear). They could not copy Guys for obvious copyright reasons! Unfortunately for Michael as in Anglia tradition as news reader, continuity and any other job that needs doing presenter he got the job of birthday club presenter during kids hour late afternoon; and had to work the puppet. You can imagine the stick he got in the club about having his hand up the puppet's you know what! Thing is Michael dressed in his trade mark upper class coat suit and bow tie took it all in good faith. He was the true epitome of local TV. He would pop back between shows and buy us a drink. We thought we'd meet stardom! Well not really but he was accepted as one of the Ritz'ies gang. Bet club go'ers outside ITV London Studios don't get that nowadays? Bring back local TV or is it to late?
Anglia wasn't the pioneer of 24-hour TV, it was one of the last ITV regions to go 24-hour, early 1988, IIRC. Yorkshire TV (my region) was the first to go 24 hours, May 1986.
I used to live with a guy that presented birthday club with BC for a while.
Gus Honeybun was a rabbit not a bear.
@@aidanlunn7441 I am not too sure on that as I think Anglia joined with Channel, LWT and TVS to show Night Network at weekends from August 1987 onwards until March 1989 when it ended. Although I do know that all the other regions showed it from September 1988 apart from Central who decided not too at the time. But you could be right as I am not sure about weekdays either. Thames and LWT in London where I live had already done so by then too.
@aidanlunn7441 That is correct, much of their overnight output was from a cable music channel called Music box in the early days of 24 hour output.
what a great year that was. :-)
life seemed so much easier make in the 80s.
It wasn't: There was a recession in full swing. A Tory government. Unemployment past the 3 million mark. And interest rates at about 16%! Great times not!
It wasn't.
I think it’s rose tinted spectacles 👓
2:02 Anyone else think the number of puppets made for this commercial is a bit extravagant?
22:54 "Andy's Night Out With The Girls" takes on new meaning these days...
In the days when ITV was a regional network However in 1985 we had TVS so they had there own programme promotions with the TVS logo replacing the ITV Network PRO MOs. TVS [Especcially for the first three years had a lot of its own progrrammes instead of ITV Network Proggramming. Like nu. 73 replacing TISWAS for six weeks. Have you got any thing from TVS? GOD BLESS!
Phil Davis in the Panama Cigar advert?
Love the cheesy synth tones on the news :D
22:56 The Panama advert - It looks like we very briefly see the Daily Mirror front page for the Tuesday 18th September 1984 issue. The headline was: "Andy's Night Out - with the girls", referring to Prince Andrew during his pre-Fergie relationship era. Also, it mentions that the Daily Mirror still costs 16p etc. However, the "page six" featured in the advert was a spoof page that wasn't in that day's issue - (page six in that issue was a full page advert for Raffles cigarettes). Anyway, how can that be page six when it would have been an odd numbered page on the right of the newspaper when it is opened? And the date above "page six" seems to read Thursday ? September 1984. I wondered whether the Daily Mirror made a special spoof page for the makers of that advert to use? None of the "names" of the horses come up in the UK Press Online search!
What advert is this at 16:28?
A very young Phil Davis in the Panama cigar advert.
It is indeed 1985, if you look closely at the end of the WHISKAS ad, it says COPYRIGHT 1985 in small letters at the bottom of the screen.
Nonsense it’s 2019
All that proves is that it was 1985 or later!
@5:15 is that Emile from the wild geese???
Wednesday 25th December 1985.
R.I.P carol barnes
5:41 AND NOW, FROM NORWICH ITS THE QUIZ OF THE WEEK
Cute cats & a woman wearing Hunter wellies in the Whiskas commercial.
Your information noted 197s when it IS actually 1985.
17:30 why is there snow on his van? How long has he been visiting?
He had been there since 1789 after H.M.S Bounty was taken by mutineers and he lost his job as ship cook..🐸🧙🏻♂️🤧🚐⚓⛵
Good old Anglia.
Very sad this along with the News the late and great Carol Barnes reading the news. She was heartbroken [I believe when her daughter died in a parachute accident.
garry simpson Her daughter DID die in the parachute accident
Javier Gomez Very Sad. She died of a broken heart. GOD BLESS!
+garry simpson Awful. I remember all of that too...
+agfagaevart Very sad indeed. Also that edition of Fresh Fields is still being broadcast to this day. From the New Forest GOD BLESS!
+Dave Weaving Very true Dave. I lost my mother one month ago. I was her disabled carer,so I now know how the late Carol felt.
Well, I declare, Lionel Blaire with auburn hair!
17:04 when you're having a bit of trouble with a gas appliance call the gas people. We have a COMPUTER !!!!
i was 9 in 1985, do we think things were better then in general or am i wearing rose tinted glasses?
up to you, i think its rose tented glasses,
Lovely cats
RIP Lionel Blair
RIP carol barnes and while she was dying her london flat was burgled
How come "GREGORY'S GIRL" was on so late? It's a family film, isn't it??
I'm surprised anything was on so late. Hey, remember the clown girl face that would come up when the station would go off the air? Sometimes there was colored (rainbow) lines behind her or something? It was the "off the air" thing. :-)
Yes, apparently, she was a BBC producer's daughter or something, and the X she chalked on the board marked the exact centre of the screen, something to with BBC engineers configurating the pictures, I dunno..
@@Anabella1974 it was called the Test Card.
Because in the original version, a giant octopus from Mars came to the school and was biting people's heads off so it was a horror movie. 🥳🤡🛸👽🐙🐙🐙🐙
They used to advertise cigars on tv??
cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, they used to advertise it all.
Yes! Hard to believe but there were cigarette ads on TV until about 1961 when they were banned. Cigar and pipe tobacco ads continued on as they were considered "safer" :-0 But were also banned around early 1990s. Sponsorship was also banned recently - F1 and other motosports...A shame really, because the cigar ads were some of the best shown on TV.
Bowie giving it all the large there with Tina..go'on
Rose tinted glasses come to mind if people thought the 1980s were better times 😂
back in the 80s
LOL at the cat food advert. She says the cat must like it, cos she licks it all up. The fact that this is what its been given to eat and if he didn’t eat it it would starve didn’t seem to have crossed her mind.
Ben G, everyone, dropping red pills on the Whiskas Question
The fact that the cat didn't leave much leftovers must be worth something, surely?
3:15 that cat is definitely dead now.
RIP marmalade
So is the woman probably.
RIP woman - gone but not forgotten
Kathleen Conlan and husband Patrick last registered in 192.com in 2004
Startling contrast between Max Headroom and the Anglia carriage clock and Handel here.
That Carpet City ad is horrible, horrible, horrible - the implicit anti-urbanism and the tone of the "you got it" seem to sum up a lot of the things I don't like about the region (no need to mention *that* character). Three tobacco ads and Fresh Fields being on Christmas Day are even more antediluvian though.
Maxico City?No, carpets for your bathroom
That fireman went on to become a gay singer
15:21 No expense spent on CGI 15:51 People now talk about Global Warming. Bull! Tobacco ads.
Blimey, I don’t remember Christmas Day TV being THIS bland back in 1985 at least with ITV. Not very festive was it. We were clearly more easily pleased back then, lol.
