In the sense that they'd basically reverted to TV-am by the spring. Even getting rid of the original set and bringing in one that looked like TV-AM's after only around 3 or 4 months.

Makes you wonder sometimes what the point was of the whole process, as GMTV essentially became TV-am Mark 2 - and to add insult to injury they later went cap in hand to the ITC to reduce their financial payments to a level below that which TV-am had offered in the first place. In fairness they weren't the only ITV franchise to do that, but it was the most ironic one.

Matthew Harris AKA Bob The Fish’s take on GMTV:

Sticking with GMTV, a random find from a full episode that has posted by an account called GMTV Gold, John & Penny crossed to Kirsty for the weather at the end of the News Hour to discover a sound issue leaving the sofa based duo to read the weather details. It sounds like there was no autocue script for the weather, but it makes for interesting viewing, and is followed By a quick changeover on the sofa (From 52m, 19s).

Stumbled across this channel on YT. The Martin Lambie Nairn collection. A good few of Lambie Nairn's idents, in high quality to boot.

In line with the BBC Oneness behind-the-scenes video in another thread, here's STV's documentary in making the Scottish 'Blue Squares' TV rebrand possible.

I see the BBC2 idents (1991-2001) are being uploaded in full and in 4k by Youtube channel "Nathan Morgan". Example below but also uploaded are Copper-Cutout, Fluffy Dog and Firework. Would love to know where these are sourced from. I know Ravensbourne's site has a few of these but in shorter length, and the LambieNairnTube channel (not the tribute channel a few posts above) has Fluffy Dog in full as well.

Ah yes forgot about TV Ark. Should have realised. :oops:

A rare clip of Fiona Bruce presenting Breakfast News from July 1997.

[James2001]

All these channels claiming to have videos in "HD" and 4K", and they're just upscaled SD, often badly upscaled, and often stretched and/or cropped.

Never before seen clip of the full aftermath of confirmation of Princess Diana's death from BBC World in 1997.

Here's another interesting Diana related video uploaded just yesterday - from 5th September it includes the Six O'Clock News, Midlands Today, and at the very end a Peter Sissons news report on the death of Mother Theresa (at 1:04:49)

Another archive clip has come alive on Youtube of some CBBC and BBC One continuity clips from May 2001.

I happened to stumble across this, a video of BBC South Today and it's titles. Except I noticed that BBC One South still had a DOG at that point?

I might be wrong but only some regions used the DOG for a short period and it was used on digital only rather than analogue.

I think it was phased out later that year (I am aware BBC ONE Midlands used one on their digital feed)
