I begrudgingly like timelash

Anagram of lame shit. That's the HG Wells one isn't it? There's plenty worse than it.

Monday 2nd March 1987.

38 years ago yesterday. Some newspaper bobbins about the announcement of the actor to be cast as the 7th Doctor...

[Randall]

A quite appalling combination

Monday 3rd March 1997.

The 4th series of Goodnight Sweetheart begins on BBC1. I'm gathering that both female leads have changed.

There is a new series of Pot Black on BBC2 at 5.30pm. A seniors edition. John Spencer is in it.

Friday 5th March 1993.

I like when Doctor Who makes a strange appearance in the 90s. I think I watched this airing. Hmm. Very likely.

BBC2 at 7.15pm, episode 3 of Caves of Androzani. Featuring the final cliffhanger with Davo as the Doctor.

Stingray at 6pm

Brings back memories

Caves is consistently in the top 3 of who episodes and rightly so

That evening's cliffhanger is one of the best ever.

The vertical lines effect that the Doctor sees on the screen at the start of the clip is what he will see again when he regenerates. He's ready to regenerate right here, but he's fighting it so he can save Peri.

[Randall]

I'd never recognised what those lines meant before
Its a powerful story.

Saturday 7th March 1992.

33 years ago today. We find ourselves in a 7.50pm war on this Saturday night. Columbo on BBC1 versus Murder She Wrote on ITV.

Elsewhere it is FA Cup quarter-final day. Liverpool will win this season's cup, beating Sunderland 2-0 in the final.

[Randall]

Not a fan of mind over mayhem

Saturday 8th March 2003.

22 years ago tonight. Series 4, episode 2 of Jonathan Creek: 'Angel Hair'.

A woman appears to have regrown a full head of hair in two days.

[Randall]

Creek had pretty much lost its way by then

Toy windmill.

I think of Creek much like Columbo in that I'm not aware of feeling there was a 'golden era' or whatnot. It sounds like you have one for Creek.

After Caroline quentin left the "golden era" ended for me

The 2nd series of Father Ted began tonight in 1996: 'Hell', featuring Graham Norton as Father Noel. Channel 4 at 9.30pm.

At 8pm, BBC1 will be working out which song will represent the UK at the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest. Do you know what it was?

Only 2 of that era I remember were katrina and the waves and Gina g

You've had a dash of fortune there mate. Gina G it was. With "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit".

It got 113,576 in this night's UK televote, winning it easily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Ki ... 1996#Final
