0:45 - This would be the last time the "fish fingers" opening titles would be seen, as from Monday 31st October 1988 it would be all change at BBC Nine O'Clock News.

Worth noting all three of them were cleared on appeal about 18 months later.

Last 19 seconds from the opening titles were used for news summaries, with Sting 1 following on from Lewis. There were 8 tracks in use between 85/88, Trail, Stings, Endings and some Closes.

I don't hate them, but I'm not fond.

@@applemask I like them too, but what annoyed me was the miss timing of the fingers landing into the capital before bouncing out to form the titles at 0:58

@@johnking5174 Maybe it communicates that they still have latest bits of news coming in even when they start to broadcast it... This must have been one of the very last outings for the fish fingers, though... clips (available here on KZfaq) of the Nine from just ten days later have the Quantel-tastic new titles, which of course were a new and rather more accomplished expression of the same basic concept: the snippets of news coming in bit by bit and then being broadcast as a cohesive package.

I bet everyone assumed these titles were going to make it into the 1990s at the time in October 1988.

The episode of Casualty featuring the effects of fireworks the announcer was referring to was actually supposed to be transmitted the following week, the night before bonfire night. But from the 21st October the episodes were transmitted a week early because one of the episodes featuring actor Roy Kinnear was postponed until the repeats the following summer as a mark of respect following his death.

@@danielcarter1993 I remember watching it at the time when I was 9 years old. It's the sort of subject they wouldn't put in a drama these days, in case it might "encourage somebody" to do the wrong thing.
