Really liked 40 Minutes, it ran from 1981-1994, usually at 9.30pm on Thursdays on BBC2. It was the successor to Man Alive and was itself succeeded in the 90s by Modern Times. Some of the best editions were presented by Lucinda Lambton. One about toilets, On The Throne, was particularly memorable. Used to really enjoy the metronome titles of 1985-88, which featured an eye opening - a homage to surrealism and the work of Marcel Duchamp by graphic designer Graham McCallum.
The BBC 2 continuity announcer was Mark Waddington and the BBC announcer doing the trails was Michael Maine.
