Memories
from 70 years ago: Petula Clark’s radio debut, Wilfred Pickles singing the
Internationale, Dimbleby over Berlin, Ack
Ack Beer Beer, Victor Sylvester’s Dance
Club and Churchill announcing the end of the beginning.
Christmas 42 was a BBC
Radio 4 programme presented by Christopher Andrew was first broadcast on Saturday
25 December 1982.
When did the two week Christmas issue of Radio Times start? When I was a kid I can recall that the Christmas edition was the only issue my Mum and Dad used to buy.
But I have fond memories of sitting down with the Radio Times planning out my TV schedule with only 3 channels to pick from! The best day was of course was Christmas Eve TV for kids... It took some planning to see the best TV of the year!!
A question for you Andy...

Steve, the Christmas 1969 issue was the first double one covering Dec 20 to Jan 2. I have a copy (PDF), naturally!
