Below are the first of over SEVENTY thumbnail links to VIVOactive movies which I have captured from UK tv channels. These were originally recorded, mainly in the 80's and early 90's, as part of a fascination for tv program opening sequences in general and channel/station idents in particular.

For years I thought no-one would be interested in this sort of thing - it *is* very geeky, afterall :->). Towards the end of last year, whilst searching for an interesting FORTUNECITY location for another part of my site, I came across Richard Bell's wonderful site:


This site uses VivoActive to stream movies.
A small (10k) movie should download and start to play in the box on the right.

If you cannot see the movie playing, please download the free player now ...
