And then colour television arrived - piecemeal in the east of England - and a new version of the ident needed to be recorded.
Given that Anglia had one of the most comprehensive authority announcements in monochrome days, followed by a breathtaking colour announcement ("broadcasting a Full Colour service to the east of England"), the company still managed to be one of the first to junk the authority announcement when it became optional.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts news | Obituary: Richard Whiteley
Though, for nearly 30 years, he worked as a journalist for ITN and Yorkshire Television, the promiscuously smiling Richard Whiteley, who has died aged 61 after a heart operation, will be most remembered as the co-host, with Carol Vorderman, of the words-and- numbers television parlour game, Countdown.
It was based on a French television programme, Numbers And Letters, but was given more polish and a host, in Whiteley, who could make contestants secure in the knowledge that his bonhomie would survive all mistakes and crises.
The recorded shows, bought from Yorkshire TV by the embryonic Channel 4, were still running when he died, and Whiteley claimed to have been the first face seen on the new channel when it launched on November 2 1982.
