ITV TSW | closedown | 5th August 1987

Описание: © SOUTH-WEST FILM AND TELEVISION ARCHIVE/TELEVISION SOUTH WEST 1987

Probably one of the best bits of regional ITV continuity that still survives. Watch from 8:00, especially from 9:40. Also listen out during the clock and immediately after the fade to black, you can hear other staff saying stuff in the background.

End of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (this "tradition" of diamond rings being used as engagement presents was a myth invented by the South African De Beers Mining Company as they virtually monopolised the world's diamond industry and marked up profits so high that diamonds became really expensive. Bet you didn't know that, did you?)
