Nice place you have here. It would be a pity if something were to happen to it ….

Played it around 09:20 this morning. First music after the ad break. It may not appear on the ‘recently played’ list because it was a late addition by me.

Not Proven, aka Don’t do it again!

The Crossroads theme just doesn’t sound right without the ATV ident ahead of it.

Looked very neat on the network COW, but in Scotland (and presumably Wales and NI?)the option that generated that lower line was used to create the Scotland. So a makeshift 888 from the caption generator had to be keyed on when required, often top right of frame.

Colin was a fine, warm presence both on-air and off. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with him at R2 for many years.

Brilliant informative piece. Thank you!

I got out of the car one day and it was only when I turned round to see it lock as I walked away that I spotted the banana skin under the driver’s door. I must have missed it by millimetres. I smiled all day along at the thought that I had successfully cheated fate. It’s the simple things …

I had three of them during the 80s. Two of the 2.0S, and then the 2.8i. Loved them!

Which, in a curious way, reminds me of the time, in 1981, when Terry Wogan introduced me - morning newsreader - with a particularly ridiculous impersonation. Opening words of the bulletin - delivered through suppressed giggles: “A ship laden with dynamite is on fire in the English Channel”

Brilliant job, folks! Congratulations. Such an elegant symbol for BBC1.

Brilliant!

What a lovely memory-jerker! Great to hear Colin, and a youthful sounding Patrick Lunt, and Sarah K in newsreading mode. Great people all!
