A breakdown during a film for children.

VIDEO: Grampian TV breakdown. Announcer: Diane Speed. TX DATE: 1st January 1989. COPYRIGHT: STV Group.

Video content

[00:00:00] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: generic template for the film, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

[00:00:03] PROGRAMME: a few seconds from the film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe before vision and audio are replaced by what looks like a Granada TV holding signal (including test tone).

The holding signal is quickly faded out.

[00:00:17] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: the Christmas template used by a number of ITV regions is used here for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – albeit including Grampian TV branding.

The announcer apologises for the loss of programme.

Our recording terminates before the end of the breakdown.
