One of the first things I ever searched RUclips for was the CBS Late Movie theme from the 1970s. To this day that music takes me back to warm summer nights and the simplicity of adolescence.
I used to work at BBC R&D and we kept the decomm'ed COW in a cupboard near my desk. Sadly one of those times before the ubiquity of smartphones that would have necessitated photos. I can't believe I don't have photos of half the stuff I saw.
Hard to believe they made that globe animation in 1985, still looks great. (Of course, you could render it in real-time at higher resolution on your watch, these days.)
Just look at the quality of that Saturday evening schedule. Maybe there's the odd duff offering but nothing like the rubbish you have to avoid now. It's why I don't mind missing saturday night tv these days.
They obviously wanted to put a 'human' face on their idents... but then there's all the political correctness to consider! Maybe they could combine the two somehow?
The End of an era and the beginning of a sad decline that has led us to the dreadful oneness indents with groups of people looking bored. Where did it all go wrong?
I wouldn't agree with that. Its more accurate to say that the real decline was the Rhythm and Movement ident package. That was dreck, The Circles were a slight incline, and then, as you say, the 'dreadful' oneness idents.

@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 But he should've said good evening because midnight remains part of the evening (which may be extended to 5am) in accordance with the RadioTimes. At 5am, it turns into morning. Even radio presenters said "Good evening" between 12am and 5am, and that's the truth. Okay. But do not jump into conclusions where possible, please? Alright. Deal!!!
I disagree. Martyn was right to say good morning. Anything after midnight is the new day and this morning - hence why Nee Year is celebrated at midnight and not 5 am. The reason, as far as I aware, that the Radio Times starts is day at 5 or 530 am is because Radio 4 begins broadcasting at approximately 530 am. Radio 4 is the "senior service" of the BBC, being the successor of the Hoke Service and 2LO. Therefore when Radio 4 starts its broadcasting day, so does the rest of the BBC. That does not mean that is the actual start of the morning, just the start of a new broadcasting day for the BBC.
@derekhorne8076 But Martyn should've had the right to say good evening because - if technically - anything after midnight shall remain part of the same day between 12am and 5am before the next day starts at the aforementioned time of 5am. And if humanly, 5am marking the start of the new day for every single life on Earth and in the whole universe. But if you agree with me, I'm sure it should?
I find myself watching things on the Internet that make me yearn for life without the Internet.
This was only 3 years and 10 months before I used the internet for the first time.
@@ajs41 you must have been a very early bird then!
I'd already been on the internet for 2 years by then. Still miss that globe, though.

I miss the 1985 BBC 1 Computer Originated World alot because that's my favourite BBC 1 symbol that made my childhood though I'm an Eighties baby.
I am loving these fantastic uploads they are wonderful
Such a classic and stylish look
That really was at that time the end of an era. I loved and still miss the BBC globe on TV. So iconic.

Nice to hear the *Great British* National Anthem being played at closedown showing the iconic BBC Globe!
Absolutely.
over 30 years before the lyrics were changed for the new sovereign
This is very much a product of the time lol, did not expect to hear Jim’ll Fix It
"Jim in fact did not fix anything"
No, no, not Jim'll fix it!
3:44 God Save The King.
I miss the BBC globe
An end of another era at the time.

It's a damn shame they wouldn't update this with the new BBC One ident than the s**t they use now!
The BBC Globes were much better than silly bits of video of exercise classes and steel bands, and such like!
They obviously wanted to put a 'human' face on their idents... but then there's all the political correctness to consider! Maybe they could combine the two somehow?
@@tv68uk The BBC Globes represented the Earth, which is FULL of human faces! 👍😂
100 per cent agree with you there!!! Much prefer the original BBC globe 🌎
BBC1 started using this God Save the Queen version in 1973.
Woah! They have been using it for nearly 50 years then
@@CaptainX2012 Or...had. BBC One stopped using GSTQ in 1997. I wonder if BBC's radio division continues to use GSTQ at closedown somewhere?
@@chasebakerofthe209 They certainly do. BBC Radio 4 play God Save the King (as it is now) each night after the Shipping Forecast at just before 1am
BBC Wales did things a bit differently for the closedown. They played their anthem 'Land of My Fathers' first, then just a short burst of GSTQ.

Oneness was crap but the current Lens idents are pretty cool
True. It's a big improvement but it took a long time coming
"The Full Wax" clip featuring the song "Tonight" from the Sondheim musical "West Side Story". I have an American DVD copy of the 1961 film adaptation.
Goodbye Cool World
Classic!
I know the feeling.
Ah, the simpler times...
Ooo, continuity!
