This week’s retro show will focus on 1987 and that year’s great storm (watch out for Michael Fish’s infamous weather forecast). I’ve dropped Fresh Prince because it was getting a bit annoying. The main feature for tonight is a Play For Today from 1977 – Willie Russel’s Our Day Out tells the story of a group of kids from a run down Liverpool school going on a trip to Conwy Castle. We finish off the evening with some gratuitous Noelry in Telly Addicts, inane pedantry in Points of View, and we join Gordon Burns as he puts the contestants through their paces in The Krypton Factor.
