I don't know if this counts as a holy grail, but I remember in the 1980s, if the BBC had to put out a transmitter information announcement, they had this slide, with "TRANSMITTER INFORMATION" in bold black lettering, with a black transmitter on the left, on a gloomy blue sky background. For a while, STV had their own one, with the IBA logo, and "TRANSMITTER INFORMATION" below it, all in red on a black background. Never seen these slides on web searches.
Also, another holy grail, if you can call it that, is when you used to go on holiday to another ITV and/or BBC region, and you got to see their presentation, idents, and how their local news looked. I remember when I was on holiday with my parents, in Whitley Bay, in 1991, and during an ad break on Tyne Tees, the day we arrived, I saw a break bumper for the first time!
