BBC1 closedown - Sun 17 Feb 1985 - last one with old globe!

This was the last BBC1 closedown to use the 'physical' colourised globe, as BBC1's new identity started the following evening, along with new weather graphics. Uploaded here 30 years later, give or take a few hours!

And BBC closedowns/sign-offs will never be the same after the next day .

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for this so much. I guess this was the last (ever?) showing of the twin lined BBC1 clock and globe that was seen? Presumably so I guess!!

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for that!!

[@ajs41]

No, this globe was used until 7pm the next day.

[@stevewaldock4379]

Prefer the more charming style of this mechanical and slide scanner era of TV continuity, before computer graphics took over and everything went slick and corporate.

ahhh i remember this closedown.

Goodbye mirror green 😢

[@robalexander8065]

The font used for the menu looks very casual and not at all what one would expect from BBC1.

[@jakubwidlarz]

It's rubbish.

[@WolfKing-dv6xd]

February 17 is my birthday! I was born exactly 20 years after this, in 2005! How ironic is that!?

[@gregmcfarnon1140]

Not ironic in the slightest actually.

[@WolfKing-dv6xd]

@@gregmcfarnon1140 In that case, it's more funny than ironic.

[@gregmcfarnon1140]

@@WolfKing-dv6xd Nope. It's neither. It's just your birthday. Everyone's got one.

Rip green mirror 1981-2008 😢

[@betaman7988]

Scott Baines Why 2008?

[@traeyboy529]

Likely because the actual model has appeared since it's phase out on the evening of 17/02/85. It was seen on BBC One Northern Ireland's final analogue transmission in October 2012 but yeah, that can be probably why Scott said 1981-2008.

Don't you mean 1981 - 1985?

and then the next day you see the COW

[@lizcoupar9902]

MOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@betaman7988]

Well actually, the next day you saw this globe up until about 19:00 when the COW globe was launched

[@stigwardduke7546]

And on the same day you see the COW globe, you also see the first episode of Neighbours and the first episode of Eastenders.

[@betaman7988]

Actually, no. Neighbours was first shown in 1986 and Eastenders was first shown the day after the COW Globe launched. Wogan was in the Eastenders slots (the two shows alternated throughout the week)

[@robalexander8065]

Mark Waddington was also the announcer who launched the COW transparent globe at 7pm on 18/2/85.

[@robalexander8065]

That's strange because it was the previous ident (Yellow and blue with the white Futura Bold "BBC1" ) which was used exclusively throughout his reign as the Doctor. It debuted on the same day as part one of Robot (28/12/74) and was replaced by the one in this video on 5th September 1981, which meant it even introduced the final set of Tom Baker Summer repeats - Full Circle and The Keeper of Traken.
