Here's my stab at the various ITV announcers you hear on this clip: Philip Ellsmore, Thames (Destination America info); Paul Lally, Yorkshire (Whicker's World trailer); Malcolm Brown, Granada (ITV Summer trailer); JJ Murphy, Ulster (regional continuity ads and clock). The News at Ten 'bongs' were read by Alastair Burnet. PS: JJ Murphy was also a fairly well-known local actor. He had a small role in the 1984 film 'Cal'. I also vaguely recall him presenting a UTV programme from mid-1970s called 'Country-style'.

Wish I had as much access to 1970s TV recording tapes as these guys do, I'd be posting as much of the other content that I could get extracted out of the bloody things.

Quite a find. I don’t remember that RAF pif at all. Ulster sales team really struggling here in peak time too. The music accompanying the cardboard ads got used as the theme to Border TV’s networked Look Who’s Talking chat show.

Seems to be a running theme with these clips, over a protracted period as well. The financial woes of companies like LWT, Tyne Tees and Border in the 1970s are well documented, but looking at these ad-breaks I'm surprised UTV even had the cash to keep the announcers fed and watered, much less put out what was by all accounts a very creditable service.

Think the heatwave of summer of '76 was just starting when this was broadcast - little did we know what the next couple of months had in store for us. Interesting that almost 50 years on we are freezing in june lol

The UTV clock almost looks digital

*electronic. A digital clock would use digits and not an analogue clock face.

It does seem to suffer from the same issue as the Tyne Tees clock had at the time, where the judder damper causes the second hand to back up a bit after each tick.

@@stickytapenrust6869 In this context digital could also mean computer-generated clock face, as opposed to an electronic analogue clock that would actually physically exist and have a camera pointed at it to bring it in vision. 1976 is probably a bit early for computer generated clocks though, particularly at a very small ITV franchisee like Ulster.

@@MrDannyDetail not in this context. A clock with a physical presence would be electric, not electronic because it’s just a series of motors, there are no oscillators within. A electronically-generated analogue clock face will be generated digitally but it’s not a digital clock in any context. A clock just using numbers, whether that be flip display, electronically generated (like ATV’s last one) or LED/LCD/VFD display is still a digital clock - a clock using digits.

"when he whicker goes down under". Ah Paul Lally at his best - please tell me this wasn't recorded! UTV announcer's diction a bit suspect in places here (words omitted, glottal stops, sounds like he's talking down the pub)! Don't think I've ever heard that before from a professional of this era!

Over 2 minutes of the RAF Sea survival drill - very odd!!! And ITV's 'Summer Festival' didn't look too promising.
