It is a great loss for British regional television that start ups are no longer used to showcase the fantastic scenery and typical things in the areas the channels serve(d) . If nothing else they gave people ideas for days out. Your fantastic videos show just how effective it can be to have well-filmed and high image-quality drone clips cut in time to music and I remember the original HTV West version! Thanks, Nigel, for continuing to post these masterpieces.

Hi Richard. I, too, lament the loss of regional ITV. All I know is that things began to go very badly wrong with the franchise shake-up in the early 1990s; then the ITV companies started to 'cannibalise' each other in order to survive. A sad end. I mix nostalgia (original music and idents) with videos showing each region in the modern era. Not everyone likes that, but most do not mind. I also get viewers looking in from all over the world, and showing them the delights of each region encourages both those in the UK and abroad to visit these regions as well as London. It is really wonderful that you enjoyed the video and I intend to do another for HTV Cymru/Wales in due course. Thank you, also, for your lovely comments. Best wishes, Nigel.

Very well done, Nigel! This video contains marvellous drone footage of the most iconic places in the West of England and your editing was excellent as always. The music also brings back fond memories. Thanks for posting it.

Hi Richard, many thanks for ypur wonderful comments. I am glad that you enjoyed the nostalgia along with the new. I've learned a lot since I started the channel. HTV was one of my fave ITV companies. Some of my relatives used to live in Bath, so I visited them quite regularly. Once again, thank you and all the best to you, Nigel.

Great times. Presenters long since gone.

This is wonderful Nigel, the clips change in step to the beat of that tune, and it makes the West Country looks splendid (which it does of course) . So much better than the original. Well done !

Hi cardiffguy2007. It's good to hear from you again. I much prefer this version of the video than the one that I posted earlier. I took my time making it. I will do a version 2 for Cymru/Wales in due course as there is so much more to see in Wales than I posted originally. Glad you liked this and all the best to you, Nigel.

@@nigelcash5284 o look forward with anticipation to the new Cymru/Wales version . You don’t happen to know anything about the tune that accompanies these HTV start ups? I’ve never been able to find out anything about them 😑

@@cardiffguy2007 Hi. Unfortunately, I cannot help much. The theme was composed by Robert Howes and I do not know the title. I recorded this from the internet and am not aware of a commercial release. I have tried all the regular channels. If anyone else watching can help, we would be grateful. Sorry that I could not help you further. Best wishes, Nigel.

Hi Nigel, I emailed Robert Howes and had a lovely warm reply from him regarding the piece of music. I'd like to send it onto you if that's possible?, I'm sure you'd be interested. Regards Rob.

Hi Rob. Thanks for letting me know. I would be very interested to read his reply to you. If you go to my About section on my channel, I have included my e-mail contact address there for you. Best wishes, Nigel.

Hi Vinnytv7679. Yes. I wasn't totally happy with v1, so I redid the whole thing using same locations from a different angle and some different locations and concepts which I had previously neglected. Two minutes is quite a short time to include all the beauty of the former HTV West region. All the best, Nigel.
