Happy Birthday to Nick Owen who reported and presented for ATV Sport and ATV Today from 1978 to 1981. Nick was also the voiceover announcer on the early episodes of Bullseye.

Just been given this vinegary print in a very rusty can. I think it’s an answer print of Arrival, and thus possibly the first print of The Prisoner ever made.

Remembering Jimmy Hanley on his birthday. He appeared in 1966/1967 as an old college friend of Meg's, Jimmy Gudgeon, who had become a somewhat professional painter but he had a habit of painting her portraits with less clothes and more front than Meg expected to be included.

The Nolly website has had a bit of a tidy up. Not everything is back online yet, but most of the pages are restored. noelegordon.co.uk/archive/
With thanks as always to those who have over the past 20 years contributed to it, especially Paul Greenfield, her friend and neighbour.

As some have asked to hear for themselves, here’s one of the current restored optical soundtracks vs an unrestored magnetic source. I’ve not said which is which. You can decide.
Happy 80th Birthday to Bob Warman best known to midland viewers as one of the lead anchors of ATV Today, Central News/at Six/Tonight, ITV News Central & other shows including as a narrator on Format V, host of ITV Telethon Central, The Price Is Right (Sky) & regional specials.
Happy 80th birthday to Chris Tarrant of ATV News and most memorably Tiswas fame with ATV in the Midlands.

Such a shame ATV and the original ITV / IBA / Franchises are all gone. It was a much better time in TV with quality of output. Thatcher ruined it all. I wish ITV would return to its former model with the IBA...and ATV had the best ident of them all...

Celebrating a late birthday for the wonderful @JudyBuxton7 . She impressed the cast and crew so much that they brought her back for a second episode. Here's a clip from her favourite episode, Clunk Click.
SUPER!
