Belated New Year Programming...

BBC2 Continuity into New Year 1997 & Start of Hootenanny



The first edition of the Ident and Continuity section, welcome! It's the turn of the New Year of 1997, when a thinner-looking, almost live Jools Holland presents his annual Hootenanny, the same format as "Later...with Jools Holland", but an extra treat with a bumper assemble of musicians to please us, as well as a variously boozed-up celebrity ridden-audience in some jovial banter segements. A frankly cooler alternative to the BBC 1's tartan-sozzled - and still is, to this day - Carol "Changing Rooms" Smiley, and Gordon "stooooneeybridge" Kennedy, presenting superteam. Other programmes featured in the continuity, were "The O Zone", "Brothers and Sisters" "The Simpsons" and "Singled Out". I remember "Singled Out", it was god awful.
