This is your final invitation to my Christmas Party for this year. Bring a friend, bring some presents for me and then…well, eat mince pies in front of my three hour long DVD of Test Card F.

I'll keep posting this every year until someone enjoys it.

Death is a fast friend! It takes you, spins you senseless and never lets you go.

Here we have a rare glimpse behind the curtain betwixt the physical realm and something altogether more tempestuous.

Light a votive candle for a dear fallen comrade. It finally happened and in such a manner as to be perfectly in keeping with the bizarre lifespan of your old friend.Death is never quite the end and here we have an exemplar of the fact that whilst a memory lingers, a human may live on beyond the spar...

It's not easy trying to remember the titles of all of the programmes that he's had to announce. Don't forget that he was simultaneously on all of the regions on ITV and Channel Four, S4C and most likely CCTV in the centre of town. It's unsurprising then that he got the title of "Eh, Brian! It's a whopper" wrong as he hasn't had a decent night's sleep since 1955... Never mind, we'll let that one pass.

When I categorize my CDs and LPs, I tend to do it both alphabetically and in the sub-categories of "Rather Truthful Music" and "Complete Liar Music." This way, I know what I'm getting when I need fifteen minutes and dull sludgy tunes.

I also like to squash pictures of Graeme Garden but that's a different story.

Oh, for the love of Mike, is he still doing these videos? OK....well, our favourite continuity announcer seems to have retreated into the other room and left his microphone behind because his barely audible announcement regarding the episode of "The Gaffer" is, shall we say, fairly muted. Maybe someone has popped a sack over his head? I don't know precisely but I must review this video without recourse to pleasant daydreams.

He's having a few difficulties in putting the needle on the record which delays our enjoyment of whatever "tinky-plonk" nonsense that he's chosen. For now, gaze at the slightly sickly looking Bill Maynard and his orangey face.

My goodness! Look what he's done to the Thames ident! Did he spill his 7up all over it? It looks all blurry and smeared. An icon ruined by flavourless fizzy pop.

I always rather liked "Who dares wins" but they did seem rather harsh on Sigue Sigue Sputnik in this edition. Their music could never be as bad as this woozy outpouring of guff during the Temporary Fault. I'd settle for a nice 440hz tone but no, we're going to suffer the horrors of CW's tape bag. The "technical teebing troubles" never abate and we fade to black and never come back

No, I don't believe it! I feel....sort of faint. This is a genuinely entertaining video from the channel run by Britain's top continuity announcer! The fact that he does no actual announcing on it does help things along but unless I miss my guess and haven't addled my brains with repeated showings of the IBA test Card, I think that I enjoyed this video. Wonders will never cease.

It's May, 1990 and we're here on Channel Four to pay witness to......well, some puking, it would seem. The New Statesman was a great programme showcasing the unique Talent of Rik Mayall but we are only seriously interested in the best of British televisual continuity. Here's our guy getting his Rickys all mixed up which came as no surprise to me. I actually bet myself a fiver out of this week's grocery money that he'd do that so I'm quids in.

I wasn't quite ready for him to befriend an American though so I'm off out with my fiver whilst you listen to the bloody awful music.

Let's have a quick peek into....hang on, wait a minute. Is this a new direction for a certain TV mocks maniac? Several tiny screens with a bunch of ancient news footage in them? What point was he attempting to make with this? Perhaps he was trying to prove that the UK isn't subject to differing time zones between the South-West, London and Manchester? Be grateful for the lack of dreary library music and enjoy the image of a younger Big Yin a few times.

It sounds as if the whisky is very good over at Yorkshire Television as we have a rather wobbly announcement during this "interval junction."

Brookside is retitled "Brookside Close" for one episode... Nobody informed the production company or the caption writer but what's done is done and there's no going back. We're actually all settled down for an edition of "Slinger's Day", possibly the greatest comedy ever to grace ITV's schedules so a suitably deferential announcement is required. Ber...best manager's specials aside, I didn't apply for a shelf stacking job and certainly don't want to start work at this time of night. Play me the music and get on with it.

Those of us living in the Southern Television area actually don't give a fig about what's showing on Thames Television. We can't see it and we don't care but this doesn't stop sneaky old CW from informing us about the Telethon and asking for cash. It's probably gone on the tea and biscuits fund in the Southern canteen. I'm interested in how they managed to plaster logos onscreen that won't be designed until a couple of decades later but that's not theft, that's innovation.
