Not another closedown, I hear you cry. Yes – but this one picks up from the moment Sportsnight goes off air. With the credits rolled we're straight into tomorrow's menu, followed by the weather forecast, a classic PIF with Frank Thornton followed by the closedown itself. And it's no ordinary closedown; today marked the 40th anniversary of VE Day and the schedules were full of programmes to mark the occasion. Robin Whitting is your announcer; it's a large file but worth the download time.
