What was on TV the day you were born?

[Gravity Aided]

I believe I showed up during Route 66. According to the birth certificate stated time. At least my dad got to see Rawhide!

At least I can tell my great-nephew I was on Cycle Chat when he was born.

TV????????
I think Marconi was still laying a transatlantic cable

Not a lot, how things have changed.

Of most interest to me now, though, are:

Apollo 15 Moondrive then spacedocking
Yorkshire Vs Lancashire @ Bramall Lane (a match they drew! )

January 51 but the earliest programs I remember are muffin the mule and watch with mother. a mate asked me if I could remember muffin the mule I said no I must have been drunk

August 1969, Bl00dy cricket! 3rd Test England v New Zealand - though I suspect that was "except for viewers in Scotland..."

Aside from that Dad's Army, Watch with Mother, Play School, Jackanory and The Virginian were all still on through my childhood.

All this just confirms TV was even more shite then than it is now. . .
