One of the last midweek sports specials i watched for 2.5 years. You don't get Thames tv in Jamaica unfortunately. We left the uk in July 1981 and came back in 1983.
4:53 'Well, if I saw anyone driving like that on a public highway, I think you'd deserve to be called a raving MANIAC!' Genuinely never seen the commercial that classic Not the Nine bit was parodying, so thanks for that! (Eeeeeeeeppppp CRASH)
Can' believe it stopped just as the Barney Miller theme started. Loved it!
Steve Mackenzie scored a cracking goal v spurs in the FA cup replay ..best goal of the game ..

Don't worry about the unlucky miss, Peter Withe.....in a year and 13 days time, ITV would show you scoring the winner in the European Cup Final!

Brian Moore was so smooth. I preferred him as a host as apposed to a commentator.
I like the Courage Best advert advert. Trying to sound like Chas and Dave and failing miserably. 😀
Great footage.
Barney Miller was shown late night before itv closedown
Great to see the legendary Paul Darrow in the Amex advert
I have to assume that the "Barney Miller" spinoff "Fish" must've been terrible if ITV passed on it (the BBC bought it).
That's odd because Top of the Pops was cut due to it
What was the cause of Top Of The Pops being cut?
@anthony bailey The BBC1 channel meant to shown it in its 40 minute version but it was cut to 20 minutes.
