UK television history and presentation mainly but other things as well, especially on here.
Also the end credits of Call My Bluff were interesting because the copyright date wasn't in Roman numerals as was more common by this point in the 1970s #CallMyBluff

Here's something I've never seen before at the end of Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles on BBC One; firstly the Press Red Next Episode boxes descend into the top-right corner of the screen followed moments later by the Next episode box descending further to reveal a short playing video clip.

Also on ITV’s second day was something called Out Of Town. I presume Southern Television took over this format from Associated-Rediffusion when it came to air, though I hope farmers weren’t creating glow-in-the-dark sheep here.

Just noticed that from the early morning of Sunday 12 October Talking Pictures TV are repeating - wait for it - Eurotrash! So if you missed this series first time round or only saw bits like I did then here’s an opportunity to see what all the fuss was about. talkingpicturestv.co.uk/schedule/

A moment ago it was claiming 'hamble' as one of the newest words. Certainly not, unless of course it's ignoring capitalisation...

I know it's easy to be sceptical with this one if you've never dealt with them before, but I backed their last offering and was delighted with the outcome. Perhaps there's an alternative platform but so far the choices are poor and may have their own greater issues.
