Only found this channel this week, but all the Ident stuff is right up my street, will slowly watch the back catalogue, Christmas 2021 Idents hopefully next week begin to air on TV keep up the good work
The Anglia Knight was a classic, the 'A' logo was designed by Martin Lambie Nairn, the man who designed the BBC Two idents and the Channel 4 logo among many others, and he sadly passed away at the end of last year.
Here we are, my region. Unfortunately by the time I was born ITV had dropped all regional variants, but I do really like this one. It's a weird fascination.
Good video I’ll tell you what Anglia is one of my favourites because in 1979 when Tales Of The Unexpected was released in March of that year in my opinion it’s a great Anglia TV Production for ITV by Roald Dahl
Iirc Lord David Dundas wrote the sting for the 1988 Anglia ident. I grew up in the Anglia region during its colour heyday from the early 1970s to late 1990s. We got an "Anglia Presents" caption board rather than the film ident that the rest of the country got before Anglua produced programmes like Survival, Tales Of The Unexpected, Sale Of The Century, Bygones, etc. I also remember the in vision continuity announcements. Very different from the BBC 1 mirror globe; just an announcer at a desk with a curtain behind, no station logo or anything. That ceased when the flag ident came in with the exception of night time Anglia with the likes of Paul Lavers, who incidentally I last saw on TV in a Haribo advert a few years back. I'm glad Anglia didn't adopt the 1989 generic ITV ident! Shame it was the beginning of the end with the hearts ident.
Anglia didn't actually use the 1989 generic ident. I think there's two reasons. One, was that their existing ident was only a year old, and the other reason is that the blue and yellow triangles are the wrong way around!
Anglia was never networked that much (at least in South Wales). Sit has an inevitable follow up."And now from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week ..." The triangles logo reminds me of the old railfreight logo
1, The knight was a trophy commissioned by William III of the Netherlands in 1850 for the Falcon Club, which was a society that met once a year to compete in horse races, falconry and other sports. It was modelled off a statue of Richard I, but was intended to represent "The Black Knight." And second, by the 80s, the logo had basically been sticking out like a sore thumb, due to everyone else using CGI and the whole "flying through space" gimmick, so they got Martin-Lambie-Nairn himself to make a new ident for them, to which he charged Anglia £500,000. And that's 1988 money. Does that answer your questions?
Ah here we go, my home terf. I remover having films my parents had recorded off the Telly in the late 80s with the knight and I really remember the triangles in the flag one from my own childhood. 🙂
Hiya mate! Could you please cover the Christmas idents from the BBC 2 “Curve” batch of idents? They are some of my favourites, being: Magical (a curved Christmas tree) Cosy (a cat’s tail in the curve shape) Glorious (the northern lights) Festive (garlands of tinsel) Thanks a lot!
I always wanted to know about the model used for Anglia. How big was it ? What happened to it? Does someone have it now ? But I got info from the video so great stuff :-)
4:47 yes sir! it looks like a Triforce from Zelda and if you check the design of a Pokémon's Design called Calyrex, The Scarf's design looks like also this logo.
I don’t know if it is true or not not but I remember hearing that the knight was owned before the channel went on air by one of the directors of the company, who suggested using it as an ident. It was modded to hold an Anglia flag and filmed.
I read that two of the directors of the company were in Bond Street (Old or New, I can't remember) in London, saw it for sale in a shop and thought it would make a good company logo. I believe it's now in a museum in the Anglia region.
The Anglia Knight was originally a falconry trophy bought by the then chairman of Anglia from the jewellers Asprey in Bond Street, London. Aspley added the Anglia pennon to the lance, and the rest is history as they say. The Anglia Knight was displayed in Norwich Library a few years back as well at Bridewell museum in Norwich, but I believe it has now been returned to Anglia House. I think Anglia House is the only surviving original ITV regional HQ, and includes the 1959 era Anglia Television signage - look on Google Earth.
The slow homogenisation of local tv by Carlton and Granada notice the heart symbol From 99 that was a Carlton idea ⛔️… All I’m really saying is they don’t really care about us
“Squire! Lord Adam of RUclips has made another Ident Review Extra!”
“Hark! We must watch! Get my horse!”
😂
The triangles are a childhood staple, the Knight I didn't see until the modern day. Both are distinctive in their own way.
And now,from Norwich,it’s the quiz of the week! That’s how I remember Anglia.
So do I too.

I don’t know what I like more. The waving flag with some sorta tranquil music, or the simple knight on a horse with bombastic music.

RIP, Lambie Nairn. You created some of the best TV memories ever 😔
Wow, I didn't know Martin was behind that!
Yeah, not the knight though, just the 'A' logo that came after it. I think he was inspired by the knight.
Love the ident ♥️
"Live from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week..."
The Anglia knight was my favourite as a kid.
4:22 You did the math wrong. 39 years is 1998. The original ident lasted 29 years 1959-1988

Where r u from?
@@ellieoroarty4246 East of England.
@@ml4757 but where tho?
@@ellieoroarty4246 East Anglia. That's all I'm saying.
The actual portion of George Frederic Handel's Water Music played in the ITV1 Anglia 1959 ident is Suite No. 2 in D Alla Hornpipes

The late great Benny Hill loved to parody these. The horse falling over as it rotates.
Beautiful horse! I like the black and white horse ident.
I really like the stylised A ident 👍🏻 The colours are great! But the Knight on horseback, as you say, is very memorable and works for an ident I feel!
Did anyone notice that the Knight rotates anti-clockwise in B&W and clockwise in colour!
I live in Anglia! Thanks for covering my region, and I'm looking forward to some Christmas content!

Two questions, firstly, who is/ was the knight and how could they sack him off, that is such a striking motif

Great video Adam, on a great ident!
Ah here we go, my home terf.

Woooo Anglia
A few years ago there was a channel called Mustard TV. I think it was local based
The yellow triangles on the Anglia flag pointed Eastward - maybe a reference to Anglia covering the East of England.
Anglia my region. Anglia Knight the best I dents
Finally, coming to the region I live in...
Where’s about in the East Of England/Anglia region do u live in?
Adam can you do a ident review on CBBC 2002 idents and rate ones
What ITV channel is next

you have to do it........ From Norwich..........
I always wanted to know about the model used for Anglia. How big was it ? What happened to it? Does someone have it now ? But I got info from the video so great stuff :-)
It's a fair size, it resides in a glass case at Anglia Television reception in Norwich. It sits on a turntable in the glass case.
4:47 yes sir! it looks like a Triforce from Zelda and if you check the design of a Pokémon's Design called Calyrex, The Scarf's design looks like also this logo.
Great video
Do london
You exited for doctor who tonight

@plonchyvideos7456 It was Aubrey Buxton, the chairman that bought it and it is now in a glass case sitting on a turntable at Anglia reception.
I think that the A ident was an actual flag - although CGI was used, the flag was real.

Why does both of the ITV1 Hearts indents talk about sex?
Ah yes, the statue of Anglia. My favourite ident from it would _definitely_ be the colour ident from 1969.
Do Tyne Tees next!
Slight arithmetical error. 1959 to 1988 is only 29 years, not "nearly 40". Interesting though, and yes, it's a long time to use the same ident.
When itv enlists Nintendo for angilas 1988 logo: THE TRIFORCE WILL COMPELL YOU ITV
Mistake at circa four minutes and twenty-five seconds.
Nineteen Fifty-Nine to Nineteen Eighty-Eight is twenty-nine, not "thirty-nine", years.
