A full instalment of the extremely rare Nickelodeon quirky mini-serial about three monkeys who survived a 1973 explosion at their underwater research centre and are searching for a way home. Or something. So follow Doc, Dorothy, and The Captain on their adventures at the bottom of the sea, brief though it is.
Best guess is that this recording comes from January 2002. We seem to be 17 episodes in at this point with 11 still to come, and although it's short and _nothing actually happens_ in this one, I still love these daft little interstitials (I think that's the right word) that they'd take the time to make for the sake of... Well, for the sake of it. Ars gratia artis, I suppose.
Is Doc a parody of Doc Brown from Back to the Future, or is the voice just a coincidence?
Many thanks to @David315842 for sending me this tape.

![ITV Tyne Tees Night Time ad breaks and continuity (8/3/1998)
Five full ad breaks from the Channel 3 North East/Tyne Tees region during and after the Formula One, around ITV Sport Classics with Matthew Lorenzo, and then it cuts out just before we go into the news in early hours of Sunday, 8th March, 1998. Includes some nice continuity and promos, including for the World Cup in France, which was still a good few months away. IBM helpfully inform us that the Internet is the future of business, and I like the Maverick Bar and Wispa Gold sort of going head-to-head.
[EDIT: This is the final day of the Channel 3 North East branding before the TTTV logo returned in updated form. Well done to @JimmyT1993 in the comments for picking up on that.]
I cant imagine either 0891 35 35 35 or 0891 50 50 50 are still connected today, but just in case they are, choose wisely and dial carefully. Depending on your perspective, only one of them is likely to give you what youre hoping for.
Grateful thanks to Ben for sending me this recording.
