The opening titles to a famous July 1978 edition featuring David Bowie in Concert. By this time the series had moved away from a studio-based magazine format towards single films covering current affairs topics of interest to cool kids: young writers, arson, boy prostitutes, the young National Front, animal liberation, lesbians, motorbikes, truancy, boxing and many more – until July 1979. This title sequence is hugely memorable, featuring a confident young bloke strolling down a street of houses whose TV aerials all resemble the London Weekend logo.
