Westcountry Television Continuity 01/01/93 - 05/09/99 [ Main | News | Programmes | Continuity | ITV South West Index ]

Westcountry Life One To Ten (1993) "Westcountry Life" promos filled airtime between programmes. These inserts showed people at work, play or - in this case - at school, learning Cornish.

Westcountry Life Chrissie's Girlies (1993) We're down on the farm in this example, in which a dairy farmer rounds up her freisians.

Westcountry Life (1993) Three young boys watch a flatfish at one of the region's many marine centres.

Westcountry Life Betty (1993) More rustic charm from the region, as a church volunteer prepares fruit for the Harvest Festival...

Westcountry Life Molly's Flowers (1993) ...while in the same church, Molly is tending to the floral displays.

Westcountry Life Mike (1993) A final offering from Westcountry Life, following Mike, a worker at Cornwall's Goonhilly satellite station.

Westcountry Winter Stars (1995) What glorious days before the NPU! This promo showcases the famous names lined up to entertain viewers during those long, cold nights.

Westcountry Coronation Street Breakdown (1995) All is not well in Weatherfield...we've lost the Street! Announcer Chris Langmore apologises and plays some music. Note the photo which dates from before 1990.

Westcountry Coronation Street Breakdown (1996) What is it with Coronation Street and Westcountry? One minute Corrie's playing out happily then all of a sudden the show rewinds on air. Probably some klutz up in Manchester! This time Peter Griffin fills in; we join the chaos just before the rewind. Note the new style of caption.

Westcountry Death of Princess Diana (31.8.97) News was broadcast for much of the day following the Princess of Wales' death. Hence continuity was few and far between, but Peter Griffin popped up that evening to inform us about changes to the schedule.

Westcountry Advertising Promo (1999) A traditional South West backdrop is used to encourage people to sell on Westcountry. Ironically this recording was made just hours before the rebrand to Carlton.
