What was on the BBC when you were born?

[jmorgan]

BBC are doing a project where they are archiving the radios times, 1923-2009

So, late night entertainment for moi, The Rag Trade, Boxing and Come dancing. (Not on BBC 1 either, that did not exist until 1964). Close down 23:15.

The test card I expect as I was born in the night.

[Hugo a Gogo]

Tennis on BBC2, Stan Smith and Ilie Nastase (but this was in January, not the Wimbledon final)

[Beati Dogu]

Test card I imagine. I was born about 8.15am and they didn't start broadcasting for another hour.

[Planet Claire]

As my dad reminds me from time to time, he missed Match of the Day.

[HenryJM]

The Lone Ranger and Dixon of dock green - they kept broadcasting until a few minutes after 11.00pm!

[jmorgan]

Seems my day started at 13:00. No breakfast TV......

[zebra]

Born just after midnight, therefore it will have been a white dot disappearing into the distance at shutdown after the national anthem.

[Eric Mc]

As I was born in the early hours of the morning in May 1958, there was no TV being broadcast.

The pedant is strong here......

I was a 14 year old watching all that.

The Clangers and Monty Python's Flying Circus for me. It explains so much.....

Looks like I was just in time for Doctor Who. (1964)

[Alex]

Episode 3 of Dr. Who and The Ice Warriors on my birth date! Quite pleased with that. Also The Monkees, Dixon of Dock Green and The Val Doonican show with special guests, The Shadows!

As a keen skydiver i blame this early influence..

[HaroldBishop]

The 1990 Eurovision Song Contest...

[Roo]

I was born on a Sunday in 1966.
