(1/4) Channel 4 (UK) - Ads, Continuity & Junctions (5th November 2004)

Now in 50fps!...well, still! This is a re-upload of something I posted 20 years to the day since this broadcast, utilising re-digitizations of the same source. Here's the original description 'cause I said all I needed to then as I do now:

"Crazy that this was 20 years ago. I don't usually like to look back on 2004 as a year, I became 13 near the end of it so the year was beyond awkward and bothersome to look back on for me, which is a problem given a lot of folks even before 2024 looked at 2004 as this kinda weird oasis of colour and joy culturally (largely likely due to their own nostalgia as 2000's babies) whereas I was going through some intense body horror both psychologically and physically that I dreaded when I knew it was about to happen and was perhaps a touch too unprepared for when it did. Anyway, blather blather...

...this first part (of 4!) covers the beginning of the Simpsons Night block that night, which revolved around the terrestrial premiere of Season 12 of the show, which was never shown before on UK terrestrial TV as the BBC's run of handling "The Simpsons" ended when it was finished with Season 11. "A Tale of Two Springfields" and "Treehouse of Horror XI" were the episodes of the hour, while the ads unapologetically took a more festive feel as the shopping day count ahead of Christmas reached the big 5-0. Watch this space for when the next parts of this re-digitisation of that night's presentation-y bits come along. :) "
