Production Endcaps |
| Production
slides from 1968 - still versions of the London Weekend animated frontcaps. |
|
|
|
Three versions
of the LWT 'oval' ident production end caption. Is the red slide the result
of a colour distortion from the original orange or was it meant to be
red?
|
|
|
| The
first pale orange slide is a video capture taken from a very old tape, so
apologies for the poor quality. By 1972, the familiar 'river' variant is
in use on endcaps. Thanks to Gareth Randall for the red
and blue slides. |
|
|
| Two
other variants from the 1970s 'river' ident era, these captured from after
Upstairs Downstairs. |
|
|
| This unusual white variant of the LWT production
endcap was captured from a Stanley Baxter Show repeat shown a couple of years ago on Channel Five. |
|
|
| We
move into the 1980s with two versions of the standard LWT production endboard. |
|
|
| And
here's the version used for Channel Four programmes made by LWT and a presentation
endcap used after imported programmes and films. |
|
|
| This version of the LWT production endboard
featured on international releases of the station's hit shows, including later repeat runs of Upstairs, Downstairs. Right, the endcap variant used after The Professionals and New Avengers. |
|
|
| By
1986 the version with the white textured background was in use. Variants
of this remained well into the 1990s. Several different versions were used
until 1996. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| A
special 'LWT Productions' slide was used from 1993 to 1996, usually before
the white 'LWT Production for ITV' endcap. |
