Hey everyone, here's the never before seen rare HTV endcap from Sport AM that Neil Miles uploaded tonight included in the Night Time Continuity from the early hours of 28th June 1994 (at around 5:27): www.youtube.com

Here's Tom Baker at the helm of a BBC Video promotion for "Video Tasties", clearly a pun on the whole video nasties theme of the early 1980s:

All of the mentioned shows did appear on DVD in due course, except one.

Target, tooted as the BBC's answer to The Sweeney, was after its initial airings apparently only ever seen as one episode on a BBC Video, and was (it says here) last seen on the Galaxy Channel on BSB before the merger, and the show has never been seen or mentioned again since.

The quality of that looks like it's come from a broadcast quality master as well, rather than from a VHS or Beta release. Almost suprised something like that would have been kept.

I have seen this promo online before, but it was taken from a beat up Betamax release.

A couple of other examples

I remember reading that Test Card F was also used outside the UK in several countries by various broadcasters.

It feels more of an advert concealed as a PIF

[Steve in Pudsey]

I'd say it was more of a forerunner of a Coast filler!

Weird yes. PIF no way. It was like a clip from a history programme.
