The Channel Archive

Merry Christmas one and all - hope your festive season is filled with love, kindness and plenty of fish 🐟 I’m still hard at work with all the puffin elves in the run up to this evening 🎅🏼🎄

Lots of talk about this year's Christmas adverts. However, in our book there is only ONE SUPERLATIVE FESTIVE ADVERTISEMENT...

@6581_forever @ChinnyVision SWEET DREAMS.

GO ON THEN. #Channiversary #Channel60

Just one more thing. Thoughts and prayers to those members of CTV staff who are getting Major Benest quoted at them, without having the slightest idea who he is. "YOU WILL LOVE THEM AND SO WILL ALL THE FAMILY." 😁

Right, 'til next time. Take care x

ALSO! Why not spend 10 mins in the company of the Major before bedtime? #Channiversary #channel60 youtube.com/watch?v=Y50ia9…

@TRTLawley DON’T RING HIM.

@ChannelArchive That’s all well and good, but I need to know if their pharmacy accepts prescriptions. If only they had some way of addressing this this critical issue…

What really went on behind the scenes with @OscarPuffin #Channiversary #Channel60

partying with the big man tonight 🕺🐟 @OscarPuffin #Channiversary

And don't forget to catch up with the @ITVChannelTV 60th anniversary programme, presented by @JWillsITV and @Jessdunsdon here. Quick though, you've got 24 hours. itv.com/news/channel/2…

At this point, we must give a huge shout out to our chums @transdiffusion, who've come up with this amazing website to celebrate the 60th anniversary of @ITVChannelTV! Set your coordinates to channel-tv.co.uk #Channiversary #Channel60

.. and it must have worked, because in the early part of 1962, 25,000 of them were shipped out to the Channel Islands. #Channiversary #Channel60

The publicity said - 'GET AN AERIAL'. #Channiversary #Channel60

@paulburton73 @hannahbechITV @ITVChannelTV @JWillsITV @lukecastiglione @MarkDMcQuillan @RobJonesSport @Jessdunsdon @JessSavageNews Yeah, they do!

Happy 60th birthday @ITVChannelTV ! So many happy memories from my time working there and so many friendships made. They say you never leave the channel family and that is true. Have a wonderful time celebrating!

And lastly - Channel TV by night. The old story told to kids was that as soon as @OscarPuffin went to sleep, the exterior lights were turned off. #Channiversary #Channel60

In the studio where the epilogue is being filmed. #Channiversary #Channel60
