A nice example of quick fire button pressing by Mike Gamble there in the announcer's booth. Mic shut off + globe cut + anthem switch-on ... all within the space of about 2 seconds. Dexterous.
The days of more sedate and clearly spoken presentation. And only 3 channels. A kind of slower paced era compared to today's in your face style. I was 19.

Fabulous!
I would have been not yet eleven and in my last year at junior school back then!
Weather forecast could be for 19 March 2024! Perhaps the BBC should just do repeats. 😊(Note, when we're mbs dropped from forecasts?)
Mike Gamble injecting a bit of pace into a fairly sedate closedown.
Very mild for 1981
