GORDON BATHGATE'S

SEVENTIES SLAMMER

TELEVISION IDENT'S OF THE 1970'S

Remember those Station Idents that were always played before your favourite programmes. You don't see them nowadays because the all the ITV companies have settled on a corporate style more suited to the multi-channel media scene of today. However, if like me you miss Anglia's Knight or Westward's Galleon then I've got news for you because they're here for you to experience again to your hearts content.
