Today is the 100th anniversary of the BBC’s first ever radio broadcast from their London station, 2LO. If I’d found that out earlier than 4am this morning I’d be doing something to celebrate it. As it is, you’ll just have to put up with the usual stuff. 🙂

18:00 – Sheepy’s opening music.

18:04 – Thames TV morning start-up music.

18:09 – Michael Bentine’s Potty Time S01E13 – The Mounties – a British children’s TV show, written by and starring Michael Bentine, and directed and produced by Leon Thau for Thames Television.

Whoose Line Is It Anyway?…


Starting off at four with some Ceefax, we have a block of schools programmes and some Thomas the Tank Engine – I thought I’d use some episodes with George Carlin narrating as I’ve only ever seen a few clips of him doing it. We pick up where we left off with Brookie and The Bill, and another episode of Lazarus and Dingwall. Crimewatch follows, preceding more incendiary action in London’s Burning. This is followed by Roger Cook doing a terrorism in The Cook Report, a Dispatches on the state of Britain’s beaches and all the tods washing up thereon, then we wrap up with Micro Live, an Open Unversity computing programme and a closedown.
