I must dig out the show he did recently for Radio 3 recently where he spoke about his childhood love of TV themes, jingles, idents etc. Will post soon.

A little cross-channel oddity in this Granada junction from April 1996 (start of the upload) - announcer John McKenzie gives a plug for audience tickets for a new BBC quiz called The Olympic Game.

It was a Steve Rider-fronted series that went out in the weeks leading up to the Atlanta Games.

The show itself boasted a mish-mash of BBC Sport branding...

And a very dodgy looking BBC logo on the endcap!

From memory they did the same type of promotion with University Challenge back in the mid 1990s, I can’t remember if it was for audience tickets or contestants, probably the former than the latter, but it did happen.

Granada did make University Challenge, so at least that one makes more sense. Was the Olympic Game still made at Quay Street?

Unsure to be honest...strikes me as the kind of show that could have also slotted into Studio A at Oxford Road (and the 3sixtymedia tie-up - which led to that being mothballed - was still a few years away)

Maybe being an indie production rather than an in-house BBC Sport commission allowed some leverage for an on-air ticket plug, if indeed it was being recorded at Quay Street.

A little off-topic but the UC team did produce a North West-only 'Schools Challenge' series for Granada with Mark Radcliffe that made use of the UC set and graphics of the time.

A no-frills Border closedown from April 1985 with veteran announcer Clive Champney reading the late regional news and weather.

Don’t recall seeing this on TV Ark while it was still online - or on their socials, for that matter.

Another Kaleidoscope upload - an opt-out junction from BBC1 South West in August 1982, topped and tailed by the symbol.

The bulk of the piece is taken up by a trail for Spotlight weatherman Craig Rich's chat show.

I didn't think Plymouth had a production studio, was that a redressed Spotlight studio?

There's 'redressing' and there's adding a load of seating and changing the whole set. 

Curious where it was filmed though, could well just be somewhere they hired and done it as an OB. 

Unless, shock horror they hired one from TSW? Although it looks too small compared with the one from That's My Dog
