  WELCOME! This auction consists of 5 (five) used blank PAL VHS videotapes with various presentation items and RARE continuity from terrestrial UK broadcasting, from at least 1989 until at least 2002, which contain (amongst other items) the following contents:

TAPE 1: BBC2 Scotland In a change to the schedule, the ident at the end of the 6:00pm junction from 21st January 1995, followed by the complete next junction [BBC2 network ident] at 6:45pm.

TAPE 2: BBC1 The 11:15pm junction from Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 1991.

TAPE 5: C4 / Channel 4 The very late closedown from the fifth hour of 10th February 1996, including the complete film broadcast prior to this.

I hope that these tapes will be enjoyed as much by the winning bidder, as they have by me, just another lover of the golden age of British television broadcasting and presentation.

There are also programmes/films (MAY BE OTHER BRIEF CONTINUITY/PRESENTATION EXCERPTS BUT INCOMPLETE OR POOR QUALITY EXAMPLES) on these tapes, but I have not made a note of them here. Tape manufacturers include Fuji and Bush (tape lengths are five E180 and one E240). DUE TO COPYRIGHT REASONS, THESE TAPES ARE BEING SOLD AS USED BLANKS. THE WINNING BIDDER CAN EITHER KEEP THE CONTENTS OR RECORD OVER THEM.
