Two of the three closedowns to incorporate the Christmas ident in 1990. First it's the end of Christmas Day, with Peter Brook doing the honours. The Boxing Day closedown doesn't go according to plan. Despite a very chatty announcement from David Miles (in which he spoke of "putting the BBC1 Christmas logo away with the baubles", the National Anthem failed to play, leaving us with exactly one minute of the Christmas globe.
