Depeche Mode documentary and interview by LTW from early years, Speak and Spell era.
Happy Birthday Vince Clarke! (3rd July 1960)
London Weekend Television (LWT) was the ITV network franchise holder for Greater London and the Home Counties at weekends, broadcasting from Fridays at 5.15 pm (7:00 pm until 1982) to Monday mornings at 6:00 am.[1] From 1968 until 1992, when LWT's weekday counterpart was Thames Television, there was an on-screen handover to and from LWT when these times arrived; from 1993 to 2002, when LWT's weekday counterpart was Carlton Television, the transfer occurred invisibly during a commercial break as Carlton and LWT shared studio and transmission facilities.
Neither did LWT neglect other responsibilities: it established the long-running Sunday lunchtime political series Weekend World and a variety of regional programmes including award-winning current affairs series The London Programme and the light-hearted magazine show The Six O'Clock Show. It also pioneered multicultural programming via the work of the in-house London Minorities Unit, which produced Gay Life, the world's first gay television series, and the youth documentary series Twentieth Century Box.
