The complete mess Thatcher made of the Peter Wright affair and she tried to blame it on Labour

looked ages ago for old recordings with the music on while des does the round up & it pops up randomly years later. Just need jan hammer & Dave & candy dulpher to make the nostalgic trip complete.

Swap the baked beans for alphabetti spaghetti wirh that swiss roll - might guve that a try.

I don’t like the new music.

Love the dog in the miller lite ad! It always worked really well in the ad breaks on “friday night live” on channel 4!!!!

……Oh and that “crime together we’ll crack it” ad was nothing but a massive joke when we were at school! And it still go’s on today, and the police do bugger all about unless there’s a fine involved!!!!

The lady who complained about the aids adverts does have a point about the ad aimed at women, I have seen this many times and it never crossed my mind that the camera was focusing too much on the legs and the provocativeness of her, but she still seems in control, so maybe the complainer this case is a bit of a stiff who gets triggered by everything in life?!

Them curry’s prices were eye watering for 1982! More than triple your wage for a toshiba midi hifi stacker at £299?! You would have to have been well loaded for that and the portable telly!!!!

Wow!! So much talent on one stage....Lillian Gish, Danny Kaye, Sammy Davis Junior, Mary Martin..fantastic. Legendary entertainers. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gem❤

"Bring home the magic!?? With Coca Cola!!!????? Bleah!!🤣

UTV showed that Fats Domino/Ricky Nelson special the following August, two months before they finally started 24 hour broadcasts.

This was Prisoner episode 94 which was the last episode that Central would screen after another region had already seen it (Yorkshire 23.00 Mon 23/11/1987). From the next episode, 95 on Sun 29 Nov all the way through to the end (692 in Dec 1991), Central would be the first to see all episodes and would expand their gap between other regions increasingly as they progressed with the series.

Interesting report on After Dark. 'Spider' Wilson reportedly did find treatment, got housed and found a job. John Heddle, the Conservative MP in the clip, didn't have such a happy future.

20:20 That 2nd Test Match at Perth did finish as a draw. But England won the five-match series 2-1 to retain the Ashes down under. The 1986/87 Ashes series was one of the greatest for England in my time. Not bad for a team who were initially criticised as couldn’t bat, couldn’t bowl or couldn’t even field 😂

Not sure what's worse on the Warrington-Runcorn advert. The fake version of 'Vienna', or no Eileen Bilton.

Loved this show.

Stephen Whitlock on the pre-break trail with Karen Petch on announcer duties (both of whom would appear in-vision at Tyne Tees the following year). Redvers Kyle on the Frost promos of course.

1987: when a party leads to instant smoking of heroin and thus into full AIDS.

Great theme tune - they don’t make ‘em like that anymore

A wonderful time when you never needed to hear those famous words "please make sure your phones are on silent". 😂😂😂😂

The BBC 1 continuity announcer leading into the 9'O Clock news was Malcolm Eynon.

"You may like to know that the book on how to perform those acts is not available in stores...or anywhere else." 😂 so you're telling me there was supposed to be a BOOK for this thing but it doesn't exist?! 🤣🤣🤣

A British Gas ad reminding people not to forget about their gas bill before Christmas! 😆

Some classic adverts in this video, including those for PG Tips and Toshiba.

Great time to be alive . And clive what a gem

With most of this exceptional cast now gone, there are still some of us who remember this unforgettable show. From Brucie on roller skates to JR drying in front of the whole nation were truly memorable, but for me it has to be the orchestra and the amazing Peggy Lee, Victor Borge and the legend that was Sammy Davis Jnr. Such class acts made this a wonderful escape from a troubled 21st century. Singing along with Danny Kaye made me smile so much. Bless all these entertainers, as we shall never see the like again. x

I’ve shared this video with my son in Canada ,don’t suppose there will be many faces he knows as he was born in 1971 and probably in bed when it was aired first…I remember it well and the queen mother looked so lovely.

Rolf's Cartoon Club isn't what it was

Thoughts are with Heinz Soup

Anna Neagle was 76 and looked amazing. Her figure was that of a 19 year old!

Ads from the 80's are much better than the ones today

Lovely Jill Dando.

The film George and Mildred was on at the cinema in 1980

01:50 the husband should have played Jack Torrance in The Shining !

21:35 THAT tackle by Moore!

Simpler times Can we go back please.

@Neil Miles - Can I ask what county you live in or if you know what transmitter your TV stations came from?

Beautiful baby.

my dad was on this show and i cant find his clips

Fantastic seeing such top stars all together … especially Peggy Lee .

Wow. This is spectacular. And the fabulous Cleo Laine, too! <3

27:04 Paul Squire got his big break here & it led to shows on ITV & BBC1 before he vanished from Television in 1983 - depending on who you believe, he either became disillusioned with TV or had fallen out with both channels. Sadly we'll never know as he passed away in 2019.

2:18 at 11 years old I would have given Maria every penny of my pocket money ❤

1987? Testing for Nicam Digital Stereo. Certain technicians were given a nicam stereo box to encoded it. All different areas from Crystal Palace probably. Over London, southern Essex, north Kent nearer to London and down to just before the border with East and West Sussex. Then they report back the next day to say how good the sound was in Nicam digital stereo. This means that series of Don't Wait Up was recorded in stereo. The next time this series is repeated listen to see if it's in stereo. If it is, there's your answer. Nobody could pick it up apart from these BBC technician guys. Nicam equipment I don't think was on the market yet. Ordinary Hi-Fi Stereo TVs and VCRs were but they weren't capable of picking up Nicam.

41 years later, Joan Armatrading still releasing new albums.

Real talent, real music, no artificial inteligence …and Peggy Lee❤

Even peter Sutcliffe was on the stairs at the beginning

Awful.

Absolutely outstanding entertainment
