Back in the late 90s, Ch5 used to repeat Prisoner cell block H overnight. The announcers would give tit bits stories from viewers. Todays one was the time Val AKA Bea smith was on James Wales show and what a viewer called her..

In 1981 Thames Television's Tony Bastable and Joan Shenton of consumer magazine Money-Go-Round did a report about the growing Home video market. One of the experts was right about what people would do in the future etc but got it completely wrong about it being via VHS tape.

I always thought that bit was never used. Even back in the first weekend of the branding in Sept 83 it wasn't used on the promos. So it's nice to know it was actually used, even if it was just rarely.
