Great upload , it feels weird seeing the tv-am clock at 9am as id leave for school when it was at 8:45 ! That dancing lizzy what a total legend , puts modern women to shame , great energy !
That Karate Kid 3 advert coincides nicely with the rise of Cobra Kai. Great to see this slice of nostalgia, I always remember watching TVAM before I went to school.
@@VideotapeFTW Yeah was gonna say that He Man intro at the end of the clip gave me a huge nostalgia wave! I was only three in 89 so I probably would have been attending nursery. He Man and Wackaday were what summer holiday mornings were all about!
Yeah, I reckon the CITV summer mornings had probably started the week of this recording (or possibly the week before) for those north of the border, and then the following Monday would have seen the start of Wacaday.
I never noticed the inconsistency of Scally's voice, at the time. This isn't how I remember it, I can only remember him sounding how he does in the majority of clips online. I do remember a time before Scally ever spoke, however. I don't know how long that lasted, but they started to do a little schtick where he would speak to viewers whenever the main host wasn't within earshot then go mute when they were around. Once they'd exhausted the potential in that, Scally then joined in with the goodbye one Friday afternoon, being overheard by the presenter for the first time (Who acted surprised and pointed out "He spoke!"). The Stonewall era was quite strong. Scally was a good character. I remember that a load of Scally merchandise seemed to hit the shops... just after he was ditched and Tommy Boyd took over. I think it was Poundstretcher who were pushing out Scally mugs some two years or more after he disappeared from screens. He became another one of those victims of 'nostalgia blindness'. A prominent character in the day, you couldn't have failed to notice him even if you weren't an avid CITV viewer. But CITV has always been airbrushed from as many history books as possible, in favour of CBBC.
I think the earliest Scally clips I've got are either side of ruclips.net/video/ufhD8FnhMfw/видео.html - he's _very_ dog-like, and doesn't talk at all. That may be the day after he was originally introduced, and I think he was speaking freely by the end of his first or second week. Richard Coombs was the 'classic' Scally, I believe. (He did two or three characters in the Grotbags solo spin-off series.) And you're dead right about the history of CITV being treated as so much lower down the pecking order than the Broom Cupboard. I always favoured the goings on down at Network Control, anyway.
Mad lizzie keeping the nations mums fit after the kids have gone to school. Also thought that was a young Lorraine Kelly until she spoke at the end, looked it up and it was Kathy Tayler
@VideotapeFTW Hello, good morning. I am writing this message to ask you which vcr model you used to copy this vhs to the computer, since it really looks very good. Thank you
Glad you like it! I actually use two VCRs, depending on the job. This particular video was captured using a Sharp VCMH704, while my other one is a JVC HR-S9600. The JVC has better picture (e.g. ruclips.net/video/4Hk3pzuNzRo/видео.html ), but worse sound and is generally more temperamental. The Sharp is a very robust workhorse and never lets me down, but the only output is composite. There's no such thing as the perfect VCR, unfortunately.
@@VideotapeFTW Thank you. So does it copy the vhs over the rca composite video connection? What capture device do you use to copy the vhs to the pc? I am impressed by how clean the image looks and especially that it does not have the distorted line at the bottom of the image as it usually appears in many videos (here an example: ruclips.net/video/D53GNf-BfKc/видео.html ) Since I have tried to copy some of my home videos to the pc and that warped line at the bottom of the image appeared all the time, and I could not find a way to remove it.
@@camila1391 I'm in the UK, so I use a Scart-to-composite cable (this sort of thing: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51WXbik2LdL._AC_SX466_.jpg ), and I capture to a laptop through a Hauppauge USB-Live2 ( www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_usblive2.html ). You'll never completely eliminate the line at the bottom, but this setup does a decent job of minimising it. There's nothing wrong with capturing at super-high or even lossless quality, and then cropping out the bottom and sides when encoding your final file - I often do that. (Not on this upload, though.)

Good call, have started following you

Absolute vintage gold (: happy times remembering watching this with peanut butter on toast being 19 before going to college (:
Fantastic quality! i remember TV-am well. Thanks for uploading! :)
Another great piece of nostalgia. :) Thanks for the upload. :)
You're very welcome, as always!

For a lot of people, this would have been the first day of the summer hols, or maybe the last day before. One of the best feelings at that age!

That's Colin from The Brittas Empire in the spaghetti advert at 7:20. Don't think I've ever seen him in anything else.
I had He-Man wallpaper.
Sally from Drop the Dead Donkey in the Palmolive ad 16 minutes in as well!
Nice to see that Lizzie didn't get the 'Mad' prefix for no reason.
Have you tried watching it without the sound? It goes from "mad" to "properly having a breakdown" in an instant. :-)

Yeah, I fell for the Lorraine Kelly thing initially, too.
