Two birthday-themed compilations - one featuring the highly refined LWT pres for its 21st anniversary (complete with Gordon Jackson voicing the trails)
In Bed with MeDinner fans will recognise Gloria's guest before the Royal Gala only too well...

And some of YTV's (very) extensive celebrations - including a medley of the first three Calendar themes.

How nice to be reminded of the 21st LWT 'birthday'. We were each given a numbered limited edition watercolour of the building as viewed from the other side of the Thames, mine is still on the wall in the study.
In the video at the 4'20"position showing the preparations for the anniversary program, the area shown was the on the second floor outside the coffee lounge on the balcony area. Originally this balcony directly overlooked the Thames as the river came up directly to the rear wall of the site. Post 1992 this balcony area became part of the new canteen, and the LNN news room was built directly below it on the first floor where the original canteen was and the LNN studio (7) was newly built above this balcony area using a cantilever construction - so basically what is shown as 'air space'.
