separator Posted 16 October 2014 Posted 16 October 2014 http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/ A new BBC digital archive, info taken from the Radio Times from 1923-2009, see what was on TV when you were born (or whenever). I was born in 1975, TV didn't start until 9.30 am and went on until 11.30pm with the weather forecast. Film 75 with Barry Norman was on my birth date, he interviewed Lauren Bacall. Quite an interesting site, how times have changed.
Rincewind Posted 16 October 2014 Posted 16 October 2014 Not sure if there were TV's I bet my mum was relieved that she was giving birth considering the choice. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1951-11-19 This one was for children. 17.30 : FOR THE CHILDREN George O'Brien in ' O'Malley of the Mounted 'An adventure film about the North-West Mounted Police At least I know now I was born on a Monday. 15.00 on the radio: Music For The Housewife. Not very PC back then.

Carl the Llama Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 The Horse of The Year Show. I would have lost because I am not a good horse.
Rincewind Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Just looked at the following Saturday. They showed Ice Hockey only the final period but it was still 10 years before MOTD. Would have been B/W.
ozleicester Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Cant believe i dont remember this... The Mermaids Pearls A second chance to see the film series about Cyrus the Seahorse and his friend Bartholomew the Shrimp PART 3 - The Search Last week you saw how Cyrus and Shrimp found the first of the Mermaid's Pearls. This week you see how they swam to the still deeper waters and met the sea cows. Mind you.... i had no idea how swinging the sixties really were... i wish id seen this. Deryck Guyler with John Sharp in 'THE PEARL NECKLACE' The true story Derek Guyler... if memory serves, was the groundskeeper in Please Sir
pSinatra Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 The morning schedules consisted of 'programmes for schools & colleges' during the 70's. If you faked illness as a kid & had a day off school, it was still largely an educational experience as there was nothing else on TV. On the day I was born........ Jackanory Magic Roundabout Blue Peter (with John Noakes & Shep) Top of the Pops - introduced by Jimmy Savile Monty Python's Flying Circus Magic Roundabout being the pick of that lot

Webbo Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 My dad always said that me and my sister's were all born while The Man From Uncle was on. I've just checked and he was right.
Unabomber Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Blimey I can't remember what I watched last night let alone that day.
bovril Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Eastenders. Haven't watched it since Tiff got run over though.
Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Whatever it was I can bet whoever was in it has had his collar felt by Scotland Yard recently.
Alf Bentley Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 My dad always said that me and my sister's were all born while The Man From Uncle was on. Do you think that was a euphemism? Was he trying to gently let you know something about your paternity? TV the day I was born: - England v Pakistan: live coverage of the 4th Test from Trent Bridge (all afternoon) - Blue Peter with Christopher Trace & Anita West (who?!) - Outside broadcast from a Devonshire farm - Wells Fargo: drama about a Western stagecoach - A 45-minute Panorama with Richard Dimbleby & Robin Day (properly funded research back then, I expect) No wonder I popped out a bit early. I must have been disappointed to discover we had no TV.
Webbo Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Do you think that was a euphemism? Was he trying to gently let you know something about your paternity?. I've often wondered.
Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 King Kong and the funny side of Christmas. As bad as the xmas no 1 when I was born. (Save your love)
kingcarr21 Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 The Horse of The Year Show. I would have lost because I am not a good horse. dont get yourself down. Your the best fvcking Llama i know
Rincewind Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 It must have triggered the events that led to your birth.
Carl the Llama Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 dont get yourself down. Your the best fvcking Llama i know But we all know where a Llama stands in today's equine hegemony. I know Ken likes them, but I'd like to give the smug, odd-toed bastards a piece of my mind.
Carl the Llama Posted 17 October 2014 Posted 17 October 2014 Oh my God Ken, I'm talking about horses.
