Closedown – Peter Marshall
Broadcast
1979

Our earliest Thames closedown dates from 1979, and was only recently donated to TV ARK for capture by Simon Luxton. Peter Marshall’s fine sideburns, to say nothing of the generously-proportioned jacket and tie, give us an idea of just how long ago this was. Safety-conscious Peter reminds us to switch off our sets and pull the plug from the socket!
