Tv Nostalgia

For a bit of nostalgia have a look at the tvlistings site; it gives the schedules from previous years - you can select the channel(s) from the dropbox at the top and when you click on a month a calendar pops up with the available days highlighted in yellow (usually only one per month).

Thanks for that had a quick glance.It is something i will make use of in the future.Nothing like a bit of nostalgia

Very good. I didn't miss much on my wedding day in August 1975.

I think that if you have a look at this weeks Radio Times it also gives the schedules from previous years

And there was me thinking that TV was better in the 'old days'. It just goes to show how the memory can play tricks.

I'm sorry but I fail to see the point in this, it's not that you can watch anything, or is it ?

I found it interesting khandro.

Like SJ, i was surprised how dull TV was 'back in the day'.

Once, on a visit to the National Museum of Film, TV and Other Things in Bradford, I dragged the kids to a mini cinema type area where you can request to watch virtually any BBC tv programme ever made. I made them sit through a selection of programmes that were on tv when I was a kid.
I was so looking forward to it but I lasted about 5 minutes. The programmes were dire

[Khandro]

Not all the programmes were dire, you can see some on Youtube, there were very good programmes some still talked about; Abigails Party, Talking Heads, Nuts in May, and I only mentioned recently to somebody - 'Talking to a Stranger', does anyone remember that? Michael Bryant and Judi Dench, children of a mother who commits suicide; 4 plays from the viewpoint of each family member; mother last. Will people be still talking about the rubbish on now 50 years hence I wonder?

Very nostalgic. Take a look at BBC1 on Sunday 16th March 1987 for possibly the worst day's viewing ever. Thing's weren't great back then either.

Mistake above - 1986 not 1987

[Khandro]

Not sure I see the point in going back to look at how bad some things were. Baldric does have good point; to still put out Dad's Army at peak time on a Saturday evening is inexcusable. Arthur Lowe excepted, it is, and always was to my mind one of the worst cringe-making unfunny shows of all time, and was anachronistic even when it first appeared in the late 60's.
