This Friday evening announcement from London Weekend Television chief announcer Alec Taylor sets the tone for the weekend. Unsurprisingly, we don't have much continuity for this decade. For the first two-and-a-half years, London Weekend announcements were voice-only. In-vision continuity was introduced in early 1971, initially from the Wembley studios inherited from Rediffusion and later from LWT's new Kent House studios complex. |
