Brilliant site that lets you see what tv and radio was on, on any given date from 1923

Dr who, man from uncle and the match of the day my dad was watching and missd me being born!

 

wow, that link takes me to the same day

 

It looks pretty boring back in 1954

 

1954 is actually pre-history. The World as we know it didn't actually start properly until 1956.

 

Rubbish! 1956 was a vastly inferior year

 

Well I suppose as you were already a big boy in 1956 then I'll have to accept your word for it.

 

Having looked at 20th December 1965 I shall never moan about whats on telly again. I don't we realise how lucky we are!

 

Strange that

 

I can't find anything for 1946

 

You'll have to go to the radio section

 

How did they manage without TV...seemingly quite well.

 

I remember when we had our first tv. I think it was 12 inch, and BBC only. Then later when ITV launched my dad fitted a tuner so we could get both channels. There was a big knob on the side of the set that you had to turn to change channels. I was married before I had my first colour set

 

Two way Family favourites between the UK and the BAOR broadcasting service....can just remember some of that stuff. Think it went three way at some stage with the inclusion of Gib or Malta. As for tv we weren't in Europe when it was first kicked off so nothing seen until a visit in 1960. Waiting for the valves to warm up on my dads superhet receiver and tuning in to London with the usual whistles of frequency misalignment.

 

watch with mother , it was after that finished the world went t*ts up

 

I think Henry Hall's Music Night was on.

"This is the BBC Home Service..."

 

wakey! waaakeeey !

 

Dah dah dah daah daah daah....etc

 

That was on the wireless

 

valves that was, valves.

 

That's why you need one of these...
