Hello Everyone!
I thought I'd pop in and solicit your collective help!
One of my first contributions to www.tiswasonline.co.uk is to be an
article/feature/section (depending on what I can put together) on the
various Opening Titles.
You might remember the discussion about 'Atomic Butterfly' here in
June... and my little page here:
http://www.geocities.com/leewcr/downloads/atomicbutterfly.html
I've written a first article and the idea is to feature
pictures/screengrabs of the titles. There'll be an image of each
separate clip from the titles alongside a description. It'll be
arranged like a kind of photo album and the idea is that you click
onto the next image. The logo will be special, as it was animated on
screen, I'll try and prepare an animated GIF to show how it worked!
So far I can cover the years 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 completely
(including a number of variations within those years).
Plus, I'm fairly sure that the Music was:
1. Atomic Butterfly (ATV-only - 1974??)
2. 'The One With The Whistle' (1975-76 Series?? until 1977-78 Series)
3. 'Dixieland/Slapstick' Tune (1978-79 series until 1979-80 series)
4. Saturday Is Tiswas Day v1 (1980-1981 series only)
5. Saturday Is Tiswas Day v2 (1981-1982 final series)
(Thanks To David Savage & MarkMCM (TV-Ark) for help with these)
We have a logo from the early years, but precious little else.
So the question is, can you help fill in the gaps?
I'm going ahead with what I've got but obviously when more/better
information comes to light I'll amend as necessary. Obviously you
can't see what I've done until it's live on the site, but honestly
anything is welcome! Duplication can lead to confirmation! :o)
Reply here, email me through this group (look for the button), post
to the Tiswas Online forum, pigeon post, answers on a postcard to
Tiswas, ATV Land, Birmingham, B1 2JP (those last 2 won't work... I
wish they did!)
That is what they want... and it's real too!!
Happy Flans,
Lee B.
