BBC2, with weather and closedown, at least partly from Jan. 1966

This was found on a tape from ebay, as part of a long string of old black-and-white-recorded BBC clips (coming later). I don't know whether this is multiple bits stuck together to make it look like a continuous Tx run, but it probably flows like one. #1960s #60s #continuity

What I thought was odd to hear was "that is all from BBC Television" at the end. Not BBC 2. Television. Would make sense on some days when BBC 2 would close down after BBC 1. Also BBC 2 routinely would not play the national anthem, that was for Channel 1.

This is likely the oldest known British television closedown recorded.

I hadn't thought about that. It would be nice to know that, but if it turns out it isn't then I'm not too bothered either.
