This week’s afternoon segment will feature a mix of ITV and BBC schools programming, and another block of anthropomorphic action from Thomas and Tugs. Karl gets the shit slapped out of him in Neigbours, and we say goodbye to Dr. Crusher in the season 1 finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Our evening block has a mid eighties theme: we have a Crimewatch and an edition of the Nine O’Clock News from 1984, then some mindless action film stupidity with Arnie’s Commando (1985), followed by an episode of computing magazine programme Micro Live taking us to closedown.
