And there I was thinking Denis Tuohy was the first presenter on BBC2! They got the set so accurate it looked like Rowan Atkinson was transplanted back to 1964, well done!
This is the BBC you are talking about, they probably still had the original set in a storage warehouse in case it was needed for a new Doctor Who episode but Rowan beat them to it!
Love this video. Rowan was born in County Durham in the North East of England, and I wonder when he lost his accent, as for as long as I remember Rowan has always spoken in a standard english accent. Love how he upped the posh here.
@@khangphamchannel016 I believe someone based at Alexandra Palace managed to record the opening night that never was. Ally Pally was the main BBC News headquarters, and was not affected by the powercut, so the opening was recorded. However they felt it would not be needed, as it was a non event. And so that recording was taken home by someone at Ally Pally and not discovered for many years.
It's almost hilarious that he plays mr bean as rowan has such a wonderfully perfect 'posh' (and i hesitate to use that word, as he is not uppity, but his accent is very brittish). Shows his brilliant range. Such a marvelous actor...
in 1969 i was 5 yrs old my much older sister worked as childrens nanny (as it was called) at a large house & one day I remember a rare visit where i was with the youngest tot & also in front of me was a tv screen with colourful stripes & boxes . The colour was indeed unusual but I remember thinking Dr Who & High Chapperell were much more fun even though in black & white. Life never became less confusing to be honest.
@LimeClassRules10 I have to disagree. These look allot like there cameras, they may have even used the old VCR Recorder attachment to create the look. I think these cameras were Kodak. Not sure.
Plot twist: Tony Robinson tried to do a sketch for BBC1's reopening in 1981 ,being Tommy Robinson who nearly became controller had it not been for a last minute replacement storming in and sacking him ,and Tony is said to be in his womb and Tommy says 'According to his uncle Tommy ,he is only 2 months and 8 days from being born ,the reason he may miss this while his daddy watches this on a 405 line tv set ,says that BBC2 will launch in 1964 ,and 2 years after that is in colour ,BBC1(that was renamed from BBC tv) in 1969 ,will begin transmitting in 625 line Colour ,will go on satellite in '85 and will switch to true electronical tv(digital) in 2010 ,before saying 'If you can see and remember me on the TV as a child ,and you live in Kent ,Sussex or London(Only option) ,thank you for being born and being above 1 day old.' ...........And Richard Curtis stole the idea ,revamping it for BBC2's 25th anniversary.

It's a great impression of Richard Baker that Rowan is doing.
This is Look Around You-level convincing for a spoof of older media.
"£95 Pinds.."
"Good evening, Rich People."
So many more funny lines!
Wow! Reginald “Rowan” Atkinson is actually a lot older than I thought he was! Didn’t know he had been working in TV for so long!
Rowan is one of England's greatest comedians.
I would dare say, one of the greatest comedians in the world.
@@Hammern28 I agree.

I believe his family were well off, so he probably had elocution lessons from a young age.
@@ultrademigod Rowan's dad Eric started off as a farmer, and progressed into farm management.
Rowan NEVER puts a foot wrong in my opinion! Great talent!! (Swine!!) ha ha!
The first programme on BBC2 was an episode of “Play School” at 11am the following morning
The first night’s programs were shown later that evening
Rowan is one of the most iconic actors of all time
The story about the fire is entirely true.
Also the first broadcast was thought lost until 2003. It's on RUclips.
Kudos to that guy who was able to get the supposedly BBC2 launch, but it was unable to launch due to a power cut.

"If you were able to see us in colour, you certainly are hallucinating."
I would be hallucinating if I saw this in 1964.
The photo of Rowan Atkinson is taken in front of Saltburn Pier, Wahay!

Mr. Bean is great as a character and even the films are funny to watch.
Good evening rich people, and thank you for being so rich :)

I think this is such a well written monologue.
I love the way he says "zany". So funny.
Reginald Atkinson lol
Ah..Black and White TV. Remember watching upstairs in a spare bedroom, to avoid the TV detector van.
Complimenti per la fedeltà della ricostruzione.
Good evening rich people! hahahhaha
Funny how they didn't parody the first lines ever heard on BBC2. Probably for good reason
Please explain?
@@johnking5174the first person on BBC 2 was Denis Tuohy
That was extremely clever.
Somebody give me the link to the full BBC2 launch video.

A programme which celebrated 25 years of BBC 2 in 1989.
Plot twist:
