I have just been watching The Bishop's Wife on DVD and I remember it being shown on Granada one Monday Afternoon in the Summer of 1985 in what was called The Golden Greats. Enchantment and My Foolish Heart were amongst other films shown.

Was it just the three films shown in that series or were there more? Just interested that's all if anybody else remembers.

It used to be called The Monday Matinee in the Granada Region too; however for this particular time they called the films The Golden Greats.

How do you get on to Times Digital Archive to search for TV Listings?

Because I work in (and also a member of) a library, I can access the Times Digital Archive for free (Just by entering your library card number!). I suggest contacting your local library to see if they offer this too.
