Video content
[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: the final seconds of the closing credits of the film, Panic on Page One.
We see the 1979 Trans World International production endboard.
[00:00:09] GRAPHIC: the “From Thames in Colour” slide marks the end of the film and provides the announcer with an opportunity to trail next Monday’s 9pm film, Californian Split.
[00:00:16] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard Thames TV slide design – for The New Avengers.
The programme follows the commercial break.
We’ve excluded the commercial break from our clip.
[00:00:23] IN-VISION CONTINUITY: announcer Peter Marshall links into The New Avengers.
The picture roll at the start of this clip was caused by a Thames vision sync issue, when transitioning from the commercial break to the continuity studio. There was also a picture sync issue immediately prior to the commercial break.
[00:00:38] IDENT: the standard Thames Skyline ident takes us into The New Avengers.
[00:00:45] PROGRAMME: an edited version of the opening of The New Avengers episode, titled Dirtier by the Dozen.
We see the opening titles, a short snippet of the post-opening titles action, and the in-programme sting used to punctuate commercial breaks.
