Thames Ident

That skyline, rising from the horizon centre screen, revealed itself to be a vignette of London landmarks. It is generally believed that the skyline idents were used on programmes made at Teddington, the former ABC studios, while plain captions were to precede shows from Television House on Kingsway, once home to Rediffusion. No-one seems to know this for certain, or for how long this system was in practice, but one thing is certain: the first ident used on the launch night of Thames was the plain version.
