ARCHIVE: Ashley Sowerby

An ITV Schools and Colleges junction. We don’t know the transmission date – and for now are going with the copyright date at the end of the first programme in the clip.

Someone may be able to date the clip based on the ITV Schools and Colleges slide.

Video content

[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: the closing seconds of an ATV-produced programme, including the ATV production endboard, dated 1979.

[00:00:18] GRAPHIC: a holding slide, ahead of the 60-second countdown clock. The designs featured on these slides were updated regularly.

Can you identify the track playing here?

[00:02:19] COUNTDOWN: the 60-second countdown to the start of Looking at Television.

Can you identify the track playing here?

[00:03:20] PROGRAMME: the opening titles for Looking at Television – and an introduction from Peter Fiddick.

A nasty non-sync picture disturbance in the transition from the countdown clock to the programme feed.
