Forgot about that one haha Thanks! But I think the later CGI ones were probably another batch by itself, like Yorkshire's offerings:

I was wondering if anywhere else adopted the "ITV for (geographical location)" moniker in early 80s? Cos it seemed like a network effort, rather than some regions fiddling around with their computers.

Central had this hybrid version of an ident that crammed their logo in and their version of the 1989 Generic look:

And also this concoction with the rainbow ITV logo:

This was in 1992 in the final weeks of both Thames and TVS.

Power cut at Euston, or something went wrong preparing for Carlton? (Unlikely as the latter shared LWT's established facilities)

Damn, Playbox, we had an episode of that on video for years taped off the TV (on a tape that also had an episode of Pigeon Street)! Didn't realise it was still being shown as late as 1992! Our recording was probably from the original airing as it had the animated Central endcap they were using in 1988/89. Suprised when I found out Keith Chegwin was one of the voices!

Then it got taped over by an episode of "Take 5" that Channel 4 were running in the early 90s, which was made up of 5 different old kids TV shows like Ivor The Engine and Captain Pugwash. The last 15 seconds or so of the Playbox episode is still on the tape though- taped over by some quite dull Channel 4 documentry from 2000.

Playbox ran until 1992, it was one of the 12:10 programmes they used to churn out. The other voice alongside Keith Chegwin was Pat Coombs, who also appeared on Rainbow, the 70s Basil Brush show and Mr Majeika (being a TVS show it will of course never be seen again) and a few other things.

Playbox would disappear the following month when a new look ITV lunchtime preschool schedule brought in two all new shows: Tots TV twice a week on Monday/Friday and Wizadora on Tuesday, at the expense of Rosie & Jim (which eventually returned in 1994), Playbox and Rainbow.

That only lasted nine months before the lunchtime preschool slot was moved to 3.30pm, becoming part of CITV, albeit with modified presentation (a simplified logo and four characters used in idents).

Rainbow also returned in 1994, albeit not to the great success it had under Thames (probably because the reboot was crap, and their second stab at it was also crap), and then GMTV did their own knock off version of something that was very similar to Rainbow, but it wasn't Rainbow. But it lasted longer.

I think the reboot was called "Rainbow Days" and presented by a "Dale Superville"

Another amazing find from Kaleidoscope today, a Christmas on ITV promo from 1973. Possibly the oldest domestic off air recording online?

Well there was this from Kaleidoscope from the month before, November 1973

An interesting set of adverts, in particular the terrorist hotline

There's some domestic off airs from the late 60s out there. Not many admittedly, but there's some. Rather sadly most of them seem to have been transferred by filming off a CRT, often at strange angles and with a lot of overscan, so distorted and with a lot of picture cut off- but apparently that's what needed to be done as whoever did the transfers didn't have a 405 to 625 converter. Presumably the tapes would be too deteriorated now (if they even still exist) to do a new digital transfer.
