I think it's How 2. Kids sciencey crafty TV show with Fred, Gareth and a woman who occasionally changed.

Morecombe and Wise? Good night from him and a goodnight from me?

That was the two Ronnie's I think rather than Morecombe and Wise

Was it Points of View?

Surprise, surprise?

Yes, just checked an old episode and Cilla says this during the instrumental in the middle of belting out the theme song at the end

The Two Ronnies.

Agree

Anonymouseposter · 28/06/2024 20:24

This rings a bell. Could it be one of the early children's programmes like Play Time, Andy Pandy, Picture Book, The Woodentops? It's bugging me now, I can almost hear it but can't remember which programme.

LightDrizzle · 28/06/2024 20:22

A vote for That’s Life from me too.

Was it How? The kids show

That finished with the phrase "that's how for now" with ridiculous hand actions

Here you go. It was at the end of The Two Ronnies, when they did the news bit.

Thank you!

Yes make I can hear it but can’t work out from who!

Show quote history

Was it someone like Nick Ross on Crime watch but not crimewatch?

msbevvy · 28/06/2024 20:18

I am imagining it to be a more chaotic programme maybe Top of the Pops.

I hear Geoffrey from Rainbow saying it but I checked a few on YouTube and he says "it's time to say goodbye now".

I was also thinking of Blickbusters but Bob would tend to say "and that's where we leave it" or similar.

WhereIsTheHare · 28/06/2024 20:16

Take Hart? I can almost hear it in Tony Hart’s voice.

ChaoticFrog · 28/06/2024 20:16

Newsround definitely said it

Grapesoda7 · 28/06/2024 20:15

Saucery · 28/06/2024 20:15

Was it Playaway? “That’s all we have time for, children”
