Why not drop in on Wednesday 13th December 1995? Let's find out.

The BBC is showing the one and only play-off for a spot at Euro 96.

A magnificent lineup of telly. Look at the circling - loads of clashing. Living room and Bedroom VCR recording while watching something else times it would have been!
Also a randall-esque admission, I had a weird crush on Pam Ferris (seated next to David Jason on the cover) in my youth. Think I was just mad about Milf's and BBW's back then. Low and behold my prayers were answered by a welsh angel who came down from heaven and was in every iffy british soap and drama going

Legendary Radio Times cover.

The Pertwee Doctor Who era is in its final phase. It's episode 2 of 'The Time Warrior', 5.50pm on BBC1.

There are two pics here of the 'Christmas Darts Spectacular' in the TV Times as one is too blurry and the other is cut off. Lol. It's a pro-am competition sponsored by the TV Times.
