• From Headlines to 'Tightlines' - The Story of ATV Today | DVD | (09/11/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £20.99

  Regional and National news magazine programmes are familiar to us in the 21st century but back in 1964 the concept was still a new one. At 6.15pm on 5th October that year, ATV Midlands launched ATV Today, a regional news and current affairs programme that broadcast to the region each weekday, and viewers were introduced to a fresh new style that balanced the serious events of the day with light-hearted reports and special features. ATV Today was for the viewer and about the viewer and everyday life was celebrated, especially many of the wonderful characters of the region. ATV Reporters frequently asked the public for their opinion (vox-pops) on far ranging issues from politics and race relations to football and fashion. This two disc DVD in four parts chronicles the story of ATV Today from its beginning in 1964 to the last programme on 31st December 1981, and looks back at some of the big news stories in the region that made the headlines through the 60s and 70s through new exclusive interviews and a wealth of archive films, many of which haven't been seen since broadcast. With contributions from former ATV reporters Bob Hall, Reg Harcourt, Sue Jay, Wendy Nelson, Gary Newbon, Nick Owen, Chris Tarrant and Bob Warman and a peek behind the scenes with memories from ATV Cameraman Gary Hughes and Production Assistant, Barbara Bradbury, the DVD is packed with both poignant and humourous memories of a regional programme that often peaked to over 3 million viewers.

With rare archive footage and an original score by Matt Johnson and The Moon bug is both a photographic road trip and an exploration of how photographs become signposts for history.
