I don't do a lot of uploads of BBC1 continuity taken from VHS as there isn't as much variety given as *the* public service broadcaster of the UK and funded directly through mandatory public TV Licenses, there are no commercials other than promos for the BBC's own stuff and the odd PIF (PSA) sometimes...but this time, I felt like making a rare exception because the fact I'm digitising in a way that preserves the framerates and Very Overkill Resolutions, I felt it'd have a touch more worth. On the same tape I have that has "Do-It-Yourself, Mr. Bean" on, there's the entirety of "The Mask" (the Jim Carrey movie, obviously) immediately after and...with a tiny bit of waiting first...the tape reveals that "The Mask" taped over another film that played over the season, the New Year's Day 1999 TV premiere of "Apollo 13". The truncated, zippy credit edits the BBC do for both films are here, as well as the junction after "Apollo 13"...and almost the entirety of the BBC News' reports relating to the launch of the Euro currency, also on New Year's Day 1999.
Confusingly, even though the "Mr. Bean" ep aired on New Year's Day that year, that airing of "The Mask" was on the *2nd* of January so that goes first. And all the other New Year's Day stuff is after. x) I missed dabbling in digitising VHS tapes, recorded tapes with layers of recordings are fun to discover what's on.
(EDIT: 27.07.2025 - I had to trim out the "Braveheart" promo due to a copyright claim from both 20th Century Studios and Paramount that formally forced this video to be blocked worldwide. Apologies to everyone for that! I'm gonna miss the overacted "...because it's full of Scots!" in that promo too.)

...well, you know how I said this would get uploaded before the weekends through? Well...at nearly 5am where I am as I start typing this out, I can at least say its still the weekend *somewhere* in the world, right?...RIGHT? :O
Whatever which, this is the last part of these continuity uploads for the between-Christmas-season ITV Network Premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Had to remove a Quikbooks ad because, again...the Olympics broadcasting death-gripper for Europe and tentative member of the Warner/Discovery merger Europsport (presumably) still put greasy butterfingers over the rights to the ad for...some reason?? And therefore, if it was still in this upload, itd of banned the video in almost everywhere in the world. Not a perticularly exciting ad, so I guess the loss wont be mourned, but yeah. :@.@ Eurosport, what the heck?
Rendering a version of this removing the ad was something all my editing software didnt want to deal with neither that day for some reason, so I re-downloaded a *super* sophisticated piece of software that I should properly learn later to get a version out there that retains 50fps. x) Weird. Ah well, this is finally done at least...not often I finish a set I start with these of late, haha.
Without further ado, CONTENTS!:
1) Person inaccurately frets that the wait for stuff happening will be in 2 minutes, when here comes an ad break that balloons it to several more so, oops / ITV Back Soon ID Sting / Just Eat sponsership bumper

11) J2O Glitterberry ad
12) ITV ID Sting / Promo for Cleaning Up
13) Just Eat sponsership bumper / ITV Were Back ID Sting / Shouting Lava, Lava, Lava / And BOOM, end credits, time to wait for the sequel that was actually really good but nerds got weird on because they hate women, I guess / Just Eat sponsership bumper
14) ITV ID Sting / Yakult Light ad (Is this...? Is it?!...)
15) Tempur ad (With Serena Williams, beating out Dreams for Sport-related mattress promo by 2.5 years!)
