BBC1 Crackerjack trail1981 Stu Francis and The Krankies look forward to another action-packed show this Friday. Programme trails for children's shows - like continuity - was no different from that of other programmes at the time. But where, pray where did they get those awful hostesses?
BBC1 Christmas Promotions1981
A more contemporary look for Christmas in 1981, combining synthesised carols with traditional festive icons. Among our selection of clips is a full-length trail for The Kenny Everett Television Show.

BBC1 Sunday Menuc. 1982 Look how similar this Sunday menu graphic is to the Christmas logo - there might have been other variations.

BBC11982
Two stings for BBC1 - a generic station ID, then a variation spelling out all the programming types BBC1 has to offer. Here it's used to herald a new series of "Juliet Bravo".
BBC1 Bank Holiday Sunday1982
Planting the seeds for some great entertainment this Bank Holiday on BBC1, including Cabaret and a look at the Queen's first thirty years on the throne.

BBC1 Monday menu1983 Monday night on BBC1 offers athletics, Only Fools And Horses and The Monday Film. A good one for sports fans!
BBC1 Wednesday menu1983 A fairly average Wednesday in 1983 with Fame, Taxi and Sportsnight. Nevertheless, Ray Moore manages to sound enthusiastic. And that does say "BBC1", honest!
BBC1 Presents...1983 BBC1 presents...The Ribbon! An alternative device to the usual BBC1/BBC2 logos which appeared fully animated on trails, and was extendively used on cross-promo slides in the mid-80s.
BBC1 Timings errorc. 1983 Looking at this today it would seem like an automation error. But this was 1983 and everything was done live, yet announcer Tim Nicholls breezes through unfazed. We're holding on to the preceding trail when Tim starts his announcement; eventually the globe appears but when the sound from tonight's film starts (on cue), the globe lingers for a few moments longer.

BBC1 Tuesday menu16.12.1984
Hard to imagine Tuesday on BBC1 without EastEnders now, but in 1984 it was the norm. So Lenny Henry fills the 7:30pm slot here. Nice graphics, if rather 80s.
BBC1 Saturday menu09.02.1985 Another Saturday evening line-up featuring the corporate BBC1 logo and lots of electronic sliding boxes. Recorded just a fornight before BBC1 got a makeover.
