What was on TV the day you were born?

[welsh dragon]

What time was that on?

i can't stand that man

 

[Drago]

Rolf Harris, and ToTP with Jimmy Savile. Good times.

Equally amazing - most families did not have phones so we used to go to call boxes to phone relatives, and we'd get a telegram when somebody died. (My mum would usually start crying before the telegram man even got to the door ...) I've seen photos taken 10 years later and there was still only about 1 car per 10 houses!

When we were kids if we were out on our own and passed a phone box we'd nip in and try button B and see if the last user had forgotten to get their money back.

It makes me feel very old!

We were the first family in our road to have a TV and the neighbours used to come round to our house in 1960 to watch Coronation Street.

You got running water there yet?

Yes, but no central heating, double glazing, or car!

 

[stephec]

That's no way to talk about Pete.

Big hugs my favourite fire breathing monster.

 

[swee'pea99]

What's My Line and The Sunday Night Play were obviously must-sees, but I think the highlight would have to have been...

19.00: MEETING POINT
Rome and Canterbury
A conversation between
THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK and THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
ARCHBISHOP OF LIVERPOOL

You just don't get peak time viewing like that anymore.

 

[Moon bunny]

Dad's Army

but I have no idea how accurate looking at BBC 1 London was when I was born in Glasgow!

"Attack warning RED, attack warning RED, go to your fallout shelter and remain there Except for viewers in Scotland and Northern Ireland who will receive warning of their impending doom at 1135 pm tonight."

 

[EltonFrog]

feck all! nothings changed.

 

[Soltydog]

Not done it, but guessing the queens speech will have been on at some point, if she did them back in 68?

My dad was disappointed to miss the 1977 Morcambe & Wise Christmas special.
