Also managed to fit in a 1972 edition of Sale of the Century with Nicholas Parsons being really rather rude to contestants when they got something wrong, and a 1976 Winner Takes All with Tarby and some surprisingly highbrow questions. They really don't make them like that anymore... #ITV70

Dirty tricks and the Christmas Broadcast!!
Until 1996 the BBC always produced. Since, the various broadcasters taking turns.
In 1957 the BBC duly delivered the tape to Associated Rediffusion (who would “feed” the broadcast to the other regions)..

Central is ITV.
Lovely. #itv70

#itv70 watching an old Stars In Their Eyes and there's a Kate Bush.
Sadly not the Stars In Their Eyes Kids episode though where some stage school brat sang Babooshka and remains to this day one of the funniest things I've ever seen...

Watching the ITV News at 70, right now on #itv70. I was so privileged to meet Sir Geoffrey Cox, ITN's former chief exec and founder of News at 10 when I was a student 30ish years ago. Geoffrey Cox (journalist) - Wikipedia share.google/lheozYxDzRpR...
#itv70 Watching the one episode of 321 they currently have on ITV X. It's so bad!
"So, ITV is 70 years old. What was on the TV Times cover when you were born?"
"Diana Dors wrestling with a rugby team. It was the 1970's, what did you expect?"

I am delighted and honoured to have received this in the post from @transdiffusion.org this lunchtime. #itv70 It's utterly fabulous. Many thanks Jamie and Chris!

the VAST catalogue ITV has plundered here is just astonishing... so many programmes I have wanted to watch over the years that I was either too young or missed... or not yet born!!! wow!
