The Anglia Knight was originally a sporting trophy commissioned by King Willem III of the Netherlands for the Falcon Club back in 1850. 109 years later, an Anglia chairman spotted it in the window of a London Jeweler and the rest is history.

I live in the North West of England and 'Sale of the Century' was shown here in the Manchester area by Granada; that and 'Survival' are the only programmes I can remember that were shown across the ITV network by Anglia in the 1970's and early 80's.

@@Matt571 There were a few; Some from the About Britain Series, a few plays, documentaries and for the kids Tube Mice, and the notorious That's My dog.
