On the same subject, sticky tape and rust has just put up a complete episode of TT's 1979 show "Quest of Eagles" on YT. This went out after the strike, but TT were still using the static frontcap into what was (for them at the time) a pretty high-profile drama series. I find it strange that they would not re-edit this new show to include the confident new look for the 1980s - and it leads me to think that perhaps the "1979" ident didn't debut until early 1980?

No, the TTTV was introduced in around September of 1971,over a year after they went colour.

Before this they were using the 1968 style logo with the curved text and "Colour Production" below the logo, superimposed in yellow over the programme.

Is that the one that used chimes?

Yeah I think the chime came in around 1968. This is second hand information though!
