Breakfast tv now in full swing. The idents actually now deserve a mention but still don't appear until quite late on Christmas Eve (and this selection) . This may have tempted fate as on part 2 the BBC1 ident gets stuck.

Did anyone else look forward to getting the Xmas bumper edition of the Radio Times magazine or TV Times? My sister and I used to get it two weeks before and sit and plan out Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and Day all to the second. A list of days, times and shows would be made every year, and of course we never got to see it all (unless we hadn't moved from in front of the tele), but the excitment at doing it and then trying to watch things on the list was amazing. It used to be planned from like 0500 until about 2200. Little things like that used to be so amazing!!!

Radio and TV Times were BBC and ITV only when I was little so it was a major scheduling task! I don’t think ANYONE else in my rather large family appreciated having their viewing dictated to them - but it was Christmas. I often came back from the toilet to find a disruption to programmes!

Yes I did too at the time. Of course at the time in 1983, the Radio Times covered BBC1 and BBC2 on tv as well as BBC Radios 1, 2, 3, 4; whilst the TV Times covered ITV-all areas, and by then Channel 4 also. It was not until March 1991 that they and the other magazines that then started were able to do a full listings of all the channels as they do now then. I always felt that it was an odd set up although newspapers were allowed to print the same day listings too at the time. But yes I do remember. In fact, I think 1983 Christmas time was the first time I remember too having both in advance also and planning what to see also. But yes, as others have said too, then somehow was less commercial, if that is the word, than it is today in comparison really. A shame of course, but I guess that is how it is now then. Thank you anyway!!

Personally didn’t do it, but loved Christmas TV from the era I was a kid - between 1994-1996 was probably the golden time of it for me. I’ve since grabbed the Christmas Radio Times from these years off eBay to reminisce. Honestly think TV was so much better back then - was wholesome, and the whole family would gather around the living room TV. Nowadays, we’re spoiled for choice with kids on their phones, tablets or whatever else watching Netflix, Disney+ or KZbin and it’s really taken out that feeling of togetherness we had once upon a time.

Agreed. For me, that ‘perfect’ period was the early to mid 90s. I think the advancement of technology has led to the decline of the old traditional Christmas’ that we remember and love. With the amount of on demand content out there now, coupled with the fact everyone has ways of watching media on their phones, tablets, etc, I think the idea of all crowding round the set over Christmas to watch TV as a family is becoming less and less traditional. It’s sad really. Honestly feel that we were better off with less channels available to us. The quality was better due to the competition between BBC and ITV - nowadays, there are too many players out there vying for attention which has led to a dramatic decline in quality.

I love watching TV programmes, voice announcers & commercials from this era. They are soft, well spoken, not rushed, not in your face, quieter, relaxing, warm and comforting vice announcers, adverts & prorgammes. They seem less *cold* than adverts, announcers & programmes today which are hard, loud, common (some times more ghetto sounding due to diversity quotas) fast paced, slap bang wallop editing, in your face, full on CGI effects, tense, rushed and as a result just so so 'cold' just like today's world. So I switch these on for some comfort and reassurance.

In Ireland, the national broadcasters (RTE, TV3, etc) only broadcast reality programmes, violent soap opera's, lifestyle programmes, current affairs and gameshows.

Dear God, it seemed grim. I was 19 in 1983, and thought it was all so wonderful. How low our expectations were.

Yup, it's easy to forget just how dreary times were then. A grey, dull country. It can be a bit startling when you see things from the time like this.

T H it's probably grimmer now, but marketing is better. We now live in a world were we think everything's great, but it isn't.

More channels now ( it to mention streaming platforms, and KZbin), but far less quality. Think with only a handful of channels it really was all about quality > quantity. Nowadays it’s all Ant & Dec and singing/dancing shows for ‘entertainment’. Bah. Sometimes wonder if we were better off in the pre internet days - we’re that spoiled for choice in both viewing habits and shopping platforms that it’s diluted the way we used to do things...
