There were no television programmes on the day I was born in 1943. TV was suspended for the duration of the second world war in case the signals helped German bombers. It resumed in 1946. On the day my husband was born in 1939, TV programmes were: 15.00 : Enid Purdie her gramophone, her piano and herself 15.10 : Film: London Wakes Up 15.30 : The Deacon and the Jewess play by H.F. Rubinstein The scene is Oxford Jewry in September, 1221 19.55 : National Programme (sound only) 21.05 : Szigeti playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, with the BBC Television Orchestra, conductor, Hyam Greenbaum 21.30 : Film: The Plow that Broke the Plains 22.00 Bee for Boulestin or 'Blind-Man's-Buffet' Does food taste the same when you cannot see it? Could you tell blindfold if you are eating Gruyere or Gorgonzola? Marcel Boulestin, Robin Adair, and a company of well-known gourmets hope to find out. And we complain about what's on the huge number of channels we have now  |

22.00 Bee for Boulestin or 'Blind-Man's-Buffet' Does food taste the same when you cannot see it? Could you tell blindfold if you are eating Gruyere or Gorgonzola? Marcel Boulestin, Robin Adair, and a company of well-known gourmets hope to find out. That sounds rather like something they'd do these days, actually, although a modern version would probably have Alice Roberts (for the science-y stuff), Giles Coren (for the foodie stuff) and a celebrity chef who coincidentally was just about to open a restaurant based on those principals. BBC One:Ceefax Breakfast Time (seems to be mostly health, fitness and gardening) Educational programmes (including something in Welsh!) Pebble Mill (including more gardening) Postman Pat Casino (about Monte Carlo, but it's not clear if it's a documentary or a drama) Play School The NewShmoo (cartoon) Make'Em Laugh (part 2 of a 5-part documentary series on silent comedy) Newsround Extra Hunter's Gold (13-part adventure series) Comedy Classic: The Good Life Odd One Out (panel game) The Time of Your Life (something weird with Noel Edmonds) Are You Being Served? Cagney and Lacey Mightier than the Sword: Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (documentary) The Late Film: The Brain Machine BBC2
Open University Play School The Great Rebuilding (documentary) Weekend Outlook The Falcon Strikes Back (film) Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery Comic Roots (documentary) Did You See...? (TV review) Gardeners' World Entertainment USA (documentary) Possibilities (drama, I think) Box On (winner of an amateur film competition) Newsnight The Old Grey Whistle Test |

I remember Cagney and Lacey on BBC1. BBC had quite a few American shows back in the 80s. Midnight Caller, Quantum Leap, Moonlighting, The Famous Teddy Z, The Rockford Files, Remington Steele as well as stuff like Fame and The Dukes Of Hazzard.

The Wembley ice shows hold happy memories for me. We used to go to them in the 1960s.

Nothing at all (it was wartime - the BBC television service was suspended for the duration of WW2).

I think there was probably a china carthorse with a wooden cart on our TV the day I was born. It was certainly there for the next sixteen years, at least.Then my mum chucked it at my dad, and it broke.
