BBC 1 (1968) ident Day 1

ITV's new stations were due to start broadcasting on the 27th July 1968 with a new set of idents and jingles. On Monday 7th July 1968, BBC-1 replaced the watchstrap ident with the floating globe and occasionally with a jingle.

You probably meant 8th July 1968… the 7th was a Sunday.

Another BANGER! We finally have a working 1968 BBC1 clock! Also, why does she say Balery John and Peter?!

[@bdavebaldwin]

Cos she’s more educated than us common viewers

Because this is from a recording of Blue Peter.

@@lorddalek i think the writer of the other comment knew that. He was highlighting the way the announcer said ‘Valerie’ . Eventually it would become Val, John and Pete.
