While most other ITV stations were broadcasting of the Thames Television farewell programme The End of the Year Show, TVS chose to opt-out and air its own final programme entitled Goodbye to All That a retrospective of TVS's programming presented by Fred Dinenage and Fern Britton, pre-recorded in front of a studio audience at the Northam studios in Southampton earlier in the day.
The programme closed with an amended version of TVS at the last main ident along with the message Thanks for watching before crossing to Big Ben for the New Year chimes at 12 midnight and the handover to Meridian Broadcasting.
