Video content

[00:00:00] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: a festive slide for La Traviata, on BBC Two.

Placido Domingo joins forces with Teresa Stratas on BBC Two in about an hour, for Franco Zeffirelli’s interpretation of Verdi’s opera.

[00:00:10] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for The Paul Daniels Magic Christmas Show.

We see Paul performing a trick, assisted by a group of TV news presenters: Michael Buerk, Richard Whitmore, John Craven and Adam Rafael.

[00:01:01] IDENT: a variant of the BBC One festive ident – one of the earliest examples of the channel using the endboard of a trail as an ident.

The endboard was very similar to the main ident but there were some differences – which most viewers would not have noticed (or cared about).

David Miles with quite the introduction to the Christmas Day Top of the Pops.
