Dunno what was on the 'Gogglebox' but Bob Dylan was recording the song "House Carpenter" on that very day.

Cricket: England played India.... it seems to have been on the BBC all day, apart from Juke Box Jury.

They knew how to live in those days... presumably by not watching television!

July 1954 - Benny Hill was showcasing new acts but the main feature of the night was the International Horse Show. The last programme of the day was at 22:30: the News (sound only).

No idea, I'd only just been born.

And my folks didn't have one.

Apparently they cut to the news as the clouds parted and an unexplained ray of bright light shone down in London at the exact moment I was born.
