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. |

The 1970s

| We start our look back at the super 70s with four continuity gems from London Weekend in 1977, courtesy of contributor Mark Roberts. First, Barri Haynes out of vision with a plug for a new LWT themes compilation and a look ahead to the next programme. (Right) Brian Moore, in-vision invites viewers to tune into the following day's Big Match, whilst Barri Haynes, also in-vision, looks ahead to a new series. |  |
 |
| A trailer for a new autumn season 1977 series is followed by continuity and links from announcer Barri Haynes into Police Woman, starring Angie Dickinson. |  |
 |
| Announcer Barri Haynes looks ahead to a packed Sunday afternoon on London Weekend, including David Niven's World. (Right) Barri on the Sunday in-vision continuity shift again, this time handing over to the station clock before Morning Worship. |  |
 |
| Two 1979 announcements from continuity stalwart Verity Martindill, the first out-of-vision and the second in full in-vision with Kent House backdrop. |
