It’s the afternoon of Tuesday 30 July 1968. Thames has already been on air in the morning for the cricket, then closed down for lunch. They’re now back and ready to ‘officially’ begin broadcasting, starting with scenes from the celebrity-strewn luncheon they’re throwing in London, narrated by Andrew Gardner.
