Thanks for those Sparky, really interesting with the logos and TV listings! Several programmes I can't think what they were now going by the titles.
The "Anglia Televison - Unknown 2" presenter is Patrick Anthony who also had his own Cookery show (!) Patrick's pantry I remember, but if anybody watched it in our house, would have only been my mum! |

I am guessing that the first Anglia menu was from around 1983/4 - as "Widows" is listed. |

Wonder when they started showing faces, rather than just hearing the announcer? Each ITV company did it pretty much from day one. It was gradually phased out to 'voice over' announcements in the mid 80s. "Central" were using in-vision announcers until around 1987.
Grampian TV were one of the last to do away, they had in vision announcers in 1999 - I would think they changed when the "ITV" generic branding came in.
Not sure when any of the larger companies - such as Thames, LWT, Granada moved away from it.

I recognised the unknown no.4 as he appears on shopping channels, Paul Lavers is his name, also an actor.
Looked at the tv ark website & unknown 3 is Verity Lines, she has a sister Judi Lines who was also an Anglia & later Tyne Tees announcer. |
