There was no announcer, so an emergency closedown had to be made after the opt-out ended. 3: This one is true, skip 4: "because the clock was missing" are you referring to 1973 or the 1984 conversion of its equipments which caused the new clock to appear? 5: There is no video evidence of it to date and the closest closedown is from the 16th. Likewise as of 2023 there's still no evidence of the Balloon closedown there. Given that they used to close at Christmas with carols as far back as 1980, it's sure that even they didn't miss out on that. RE: Historical overview of the British anthem at closedown - JonasIsTheBestDude - 20-01-2024 @RandomMe There was once a BBC Christmas 1978 closedown that was on YouTube that featured the clock, then the BBC Christmas 1978 ident with the slow version of God Save the King. I watched it when I was young. Suddenly, the video got removed/privatized, and it was no longer available to watch. I watched it sometime between 2016 and 2017. |
