I rather fear they did. I'm a tyne tees girl ...I don't remember us having cracking closing music of the night playing like this, but I was 11 at the time so missed a lot of these epilogue type programmes. The ones I did see were always places in a library set with people of this lady's age presenting some waffle . I thought it was to help send you to sleep because they were always so boring and I wonder what the viewership actually was....maybe it was only me watching ?! Scary thought. I loved playing name that tune though. I could never figure out how they would get it!on just one note cos it could have been anything! Any other clues went over my head.
Tyne Tees’s epilogues always saw a clergyman reading from the Bible - only lasted for about five minutes - then the duty announcer would give a quick précis of what was to come, then play the National Anthem over a still of Her Majesty (we still had a Queen in those days), the screen would go blank, then the announcer would tell us to switch off our sets, then run their finger around a glass of water to generate that horrible noise!
@@arthurvasey those were the days! I may have still had a black and white portable with a rotary dial at the time but I may have had my colour one by then. I can also just see Judi Lines and her wine glass signing off for the evening too...
I remember Lucozade coming in glass bottles with dimples like that.
Night thoughts lady reminds me of the Kenny Everett Character Verity Treacle.
"That conversation proved to be a turning point, and his second suicide attempt was a success."
Please tell me people didn't take 'Night Thoughts' seriously at the time.
That animated Bank advert..voiced by Richard Briers!!! 😂😂😂
The healing power of a jolly good kick up the arse. 🙏
😂
Remember when Lucozade was considered a healthy drink to take to patients in hospital?
Now it is considered to be toxic!
Glucose Energy...Yeah.

To be honest, this is rather upbeat music for a Thames closedown compared to what they'd usually play.
