Not to panic. BBC bosses learned that the photo was only suitable for closedown that Christmas with the anthem due to the toys ident on BBC1 that year being considered "too jolly" for use at closedown. I personally feel that they should've used the Virtual LaserDisc Globe, which I think the regions of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland did.
I think the reason why they show a photo of Queen Elizabeth is because the 1992 Christmas ident from BBC1 was ill-suited for the closedown where the national anthem sounds. BBC deemed it was too jolly to use that alongside the anthem.
That image of the Queen is rather un-settling! They should've just used the virtual globe (or 'orb' as I call it) if they didn't want to show the christmas ident.
I think it might have taken some time to wire up the videodisc player used for the regular ident, for the Christmas period whatever was playing these idents was wired up.
@@stickytapenrust6869 Though surely, there would've just been one, universal video player used to show all idents? Idk, you're probably more clued up on how they did things back then.
The picture of Queen Elizabeth II probably scared a few people before the anthem ended for 25th December 1992. It's kinda scary that the BBC did that to annoy people.
Why are you bloody asking me? I'm not a person who knows the complete history of the BBC, I only know certain in-depth parts of the BBC as well as the basics
Someone should make an edit of this: When the photo of the Queen is shown, the screen slowly zooms into her face. The audio gradually gets louder and the picture starts getting red and shaky. Is this a bad idea?
I feel kinda bad about how continuity announcers back then have to sit in a booth at Christmas without spending the night with their families. Kinda sad, really.
@@blueswingdown I can. In case something goes wrong or there’s a sudden change to schedules, it’s much more professional to have a live announcer than a pre-recorded one.
Well we hope you enjoy spending all Christmas and I will say goodbye to Santa Claus. Now, Queen Elizabeth is played at the GSTQ closedown, the anthem has closed down on Radio 4. The Mark Waddington wishes the peaceful night, cutting to Elizabeth and the anthem, and BBC testcard.
thank god i was old enough to party through out the night and not suffer this crap uk tv was the pits if bill murray wanted to be in a real ground hog day just spend a day watching bbc repeat after repeat
So glad is was a kid an already asleep at this point as if I had woken up to the Queen staring at me it probably would have made me scream
That's definitely NOT gonna unnerve some people
Clip from 2:42-3:28: AH IT FRICKING JUMPSCARED ME LIKE CRAZY

Stop staring at me, Queen Elizabeth II....
Queen Elizabeth II is not a scary queen. She's the nicest queen.

Yet, they used the 1986 Christmas Ident at closedown in 1986, even though that one was very jolly also.
I personally feel that the BBC should've used the Virtual Globe at closedown instead.
@@stephenemmett9753 They thought that was also too jolly so the Queen was there.
1985 the Robins were also felt inappropriate to use at closedown so they used the COW globe
@@mango4606 BBC1 didn't use the 1994 Christmas idents at closedown, but unlike 1992, they played the regular ident.

@@Channel-kx1mz No, because all idents won’t have fitted on one disc.
I'm guessing they used that portrait of the queen for all their slides going into her Christmas speech on both BBC1 and BBC2
i'm sure those lonely people on there own feel much better that the BBC wish them a peacefull night.
How dare you know it. It's thinked how BBC1 was in UK!
Got it! It's the Rolling with the Ronks!
Those lonely people were probably
*scared to death by Queen Elizabeth II.*
Some ITV announcers also did that, particularly at Tyne Tees.

traeyboy529 Why they did this?
Why are you bloody asking me? I'm not a person who knows the complete history of the BBC, I only know certain in-depth parts of the BBC as well as the basics
I was only curious.
I only stated that as people MIGHT of got a bit annoyed with that image instead of the 1992 Christmas ident .
Ok.

Quite possibly the most unusual BBC 1 closedown.
The one from the night before Diana’s funeral is even weirder.
@@stickytapenrust6869have you got a link for that closedown?
@@Alimanggo No, you’ll need to look it up.
There's a picture of a women so no globe on that one.

They still do now, at least on the main channels.
@@stickytapenrust6869 Can't believe they haven't moved towards pre-recorded continuity
