Didn’t realise the itv archive was in Leeds, great to see the old YTV studios in great use.

They used to wheel out Dusty Bin to switch on the Christmas lights in my home town of Pudsey for many years after 321 was dropped

In which somebody at YTV wishes they had paid for the mixouts rather than having to loop the jingle.

I've driven past it several times. Technically not in the studios, but the old Calendar building next door.

Would that be the skating rink that was converted into the news centre in 1990? Judging by the clip, the main Calendar programme didn't move in until later on.

Lovely clip here featuring the late Annie St John at Tyne Tees on what would have been an all-day shift in studio 3 on this day in 1983.

That's very nice. It's just a shame they didn't manage the same quality for the rest of the year.

The most unlikely Thames-LWT handover ever?
Boxing Day 1980 - and an unsuspecting Tom Edwards makes way for...Dame Edna Everage.
