TV Ark has twenty-four Endboards to share with you at present. The quality of the digital versions are outstanding. I personally have never come across anything like it!

James' ways with words have resulted in an extensive collection of material some of which not even the British TV companies hold. He continues: "As a 13 year old in the UK in 1973, I began collecting programme slides and captions 10x8 and each ITV station would regulary send me their new colour production logos etc. In 1974 ATV sent me the original copy of the ITV for Schools and Colleges caption and I became fascinated with ITV Schools as well as ITV itself. In 1975 ATV sent me an LP "The Regency Line" with the majority of tracks used in the 70's."

The section will start with the slide he mentions - the slide that started his obsession. "You may be interested in this... despite being in a dark cool place and over 35 years old, the paint work is lifting with the heat of this country and starting to fade," worries James.
