[Captain Hobo]

22nd April 1984.

Captain Hobo will be enthralled as we find "Australian Cinema" season in a snooker sandwich on BBC2. A word in there hasn't aged too well.

3 if you include Mel Gibson.

[Rogg]

22nd April 1983. A new series of Are You Being Served? begins on BBC1.

8.30 on a Friday night.

[The Ginge Reaper]

The final series, no less.

Monday 23rd April 2007. A Crucible debut is made on BBC2 at 1.30pm.

I remember Diamond Geezer with David Jason on ITV. Followed by Dame Edna, Champions League semi-finals preview... all quite topical.

[The Ginge Reaper]

If you want to go down a Dame Edna wormhole, go on Youtube and watch Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch from the early 1990s (a London Weekend Television) production. Bonkers.

Eurovision 1983.

I do like an old TV wormhole.

Wednesday 23rd April 1986. ITV.

The Queen's 60th birthday.
A Jimmy Greaves feature for Randy, although I swear it's Paul Chuckle.
Live football from Wembley.

[Rogg]

Oh, and 8.30pm on Channel 4 looks interesting. Wonder if that still exists.

[Rogg]

Here's that football match. Rous Cup?

But interesting to see the England and Scotland managers in the game above.
