Watching this today 43 years after it was made makes me feel depressed and very old because l first went 74 years ago and l do not have any of my family alive but thankfully my mind is good and l have memories.
I was trying to find that ages ago too, it was like Spanish tremolo guitar stuff right, and I think it’s Francisco Tarrega - Recuerdos de la Alhambra, composed in 1899, it’s been used in other film and tv soundtracks too. I think John Williams played the version we remember
I was lucky to get this, someone who I used to work with asked if i could copy the programme from VHS to DVD for a friend of their's. So I made an extra copy for myself. If any of them still exist, it would be best to contact ITV, but it won't be cheep.
TTTV used several colours on their (static) ident in the 1970s, red for sport, green for farming etc, and also a number of lighter, pastel shades for the logo used in continuity. They got rid of these in the mid-70s but for some odd reason the green one was still used right up until 1988 when Farming Outlook finally ended.
What struck me about the end caption was that 10 or so years on from ITV beginning colour transmissions they still felt the need to have the word 'colour' on it.
@@MrDannyDetail It may be because Colour TV wasn't launched in the UK until the late 60s and even then, people still had black and white sets until the mid-late 80s. My brother, who is 38 in a few months, recalled having a black and white tv in the family home for a few years.
@@jasejj IIRC Green was for sport, Red was used (amongst other things) for Freud On Food, a cookery programme with Clement Freud. I think the pastel shades only had the word colour under it, and not Tyne Tees.

My family on my Dad's side appeared on an edition of Farming Outlook in the late 1970s.
I worked on that ,I remember George Courtice had just bought a brand new Lada
Deadly dull when I was a kid. Fantastically interesting now!
What's the name of the song on the opening credits?
If you click on show more under the description it tells you and links you to the full song.
@@ADCTVCollection didn't think of that. Thank you.
That's ok, it only does that on videos that have a copyright claim from the music owner.
Does anyone know what the title of the library music used as the theme tune to farming outlook in the early 70s was called.

Hi, where did you manage to find this, I'm trying to find an episode of Farming Outlook from the 14th of April 1985, any suggestions?

Funny seeing the end caption fade to a green screen colour rather than the usual blue

@@MrDannyDetail Most ITV companies had the same in 1980. Thames were still boasting about colour productions in *1989*.
