Coronation Street - written by Barry Hill (6th December 1978). Eddie stores a fruit machine overnight at No 13 (doing a favour for one of his dodgy friends). After Stan loses all his money, Hilda is insistent that it's not removed until they're reimbursed. And then Bet pops in.

Thames TV ident from its earliest days in 1968, very different to its later, best-known incarnation but still accompanied by the famous fanfare. New ITV channels often had at least one ident before reaching the versions for which they are best remembered.
