Ephemera from the archive

Some Bright Thoughts memorabilia which focuses more on the productions rather than front of camera (artists, casts of a specific show).  ​For example, here on the left the original logo sticker-label used for tapes, letters, parcels and sundry items.

DIY advertising and promotion

We couldn't afford graphic designers and typesetters.  What you see on the left (click image to view) is a list of our shows typed-up on a sheet of letter-headed Conqueror paper then given to the advertising department at Screen International as camera-ready artwork and which was published approx A3 size, a whole page of the edition 11 Sept. 1982.

For other ads in Broadcast and Variety also created 'Blue Peter style' (by Neil Anthony) with some help from Letraset and some glue!  This is all in an era just before the PC revolutionised the workplace.
