Talk of 'End of Part One' captions in another thread got me thinking about things you never or rarely see on TV anymore. I don't mean generic things like regional idents, IVC, or still holding slides - but rather supers or captions we were used to seeing or sayings we were used to hearing back in the day.
For example:
End of Part One/Part Two captions
There is a Fault. Please do not adjust your set.
"Answers on a postcard please"
"Send a stamped addressed envelope"
"Cut out the coupon in your TV Times"
"Except for viewers in Scotland"
"BBC1 is now returning to a trade test transmission"
"After the break.." (still said, but supposed to be a no-no)
Obviously, we know WHY these things are no longer seen or heard, but it's still quite interesting to reminisce. This thread will quite possibly die of death quickly but hopefully not!
