regional programmes and Nationwide were separated. Now, Nationwides title sequence was shown after the regional programmes and the London/South East news was now called South East at Six. However, it was still presented by the Nationwide team, used the Nationwide theme and, for the first few months, the opening titles were the same as for Nationwide, but with local images superimposed. Later that year, when Nationwide introduced a new title sequence, South East at Six started using different graphics that had no reference to Nationwide, though still with the Nationwide music. When Nationwide was replaced by Sixty Minutes, the situation returned to how it had been before 1982 and lasted until 1984.

Archive status As a contemporary programme Nationwide was only recorded on broadcast videotape in case of possible complaint or litigation; after a period of time tapes would be wiped and re-used although filmed reports were archived. Consequently, only a few complete editions exist in their original form. However, in his book The Television Heritage (1989), author Steve Bryant claimed that "a virtually complete collection of the BBC magazine programme Nationwide from 1971 to 1980" existed as domestic recordings. He wrote: "Already virtually doomed is material held on early domestic tape formats manufactured by Sony, Shibaden and Philips. The pictures from these tapes are very poor – indeed, the Sony and Shibaden reel-to-reel tapes are monochrome only – but some unique collections exist on these formats.
