Brilliant memories of when ITV was ITV. Also the announcers would acknowledge viewers all ages e.g. for our younger viewers time for Rainbow

This would have been going into the first day in which the pre-programme idents started to be avoided by the companies across the network, though I know Granada and Yorkshire, at least, had deferred from the decision (they both told me), so continued to offer theirs and take them for a while. Also notable that that trailer for 'The Contract' advertised a series that would start during London Weekend franchise hours, then continue during Thames' weekday times - so the trail is voiced appropriately ambiguously! Apart from things like imported 'Best Sellers' multi-parters that ITV were quite into in late-1970s/early-1980s, I don't think it was until late-1980s and especially after 1989 that ITV regularly did stuff that would often start on Sundays and continue on weekdays, as everything became more and more blurred.

I wonder why ITV abandoned frontcaps in 1988? Would've made more sense to do it 1st September 1989 to go along with the whole "we're all one ITV" campaign

RE: The Contract. That's cool! I seem to remember a Thames trailer in 92 for an episode of Mr. Bean. The episode in question went out on Friday evening but Thames trailed it with full Thames idents. I suppose they did that because Thames commissioned/co-produced it at that time. It being Thames' last year as a broadcaster. They probably thought 'fudge it. Let's do it'.

When Thames rested their traditional skyline, even if it was for a "special occasion" and only for about 12 hours at that; it was a sign of the "winds of change" starting to affect ITV and TV in general...
