BBC TWO old programmes, old pres?

Is this one of your Mocks, Dave?

I hope so, because it's horrible news if true.

Also news which is almost 30 years old.

Complete bunkum, I grew up watching Ted in Dictionary Corner on Calendar Countdown and I'm quite a bit off 30 years old myself.

27 is almost 30. He died on 3rd September 1986.

There's your "bunkem" - it was only called "Calendar Countdown" for the pilot that was shown on YTV only, launching Channel 4 as "Countdown" in 1982, 31 years ago.

If you're under 30, you never watched "Calendar Countdown".

Can I gently suggest that you might benefit from doing little research before posting rather than continuing to dig yourself into a hole?

Now you're making jokes about the situation?

A figure of speech, which I will concede may have been clumsily chosen, but my point stands that you're making yourself look more foolish with every ill-informed post you're making in this thread, apparently looking for offence where none was intended.

The problem with sarcasm on the internet:

This makes for pretty hurtful reading...

Warning: Cyberbullies.

The Christmas provisional schedules now out for BBC2 and does seem to be alot of comedy repeats, many in primetime.

Just to go back to the Laser disk talk, Does this mean between 1991-1997 the network could have sent up ident on a clean feed and Glasgow would just add its own Laser disk name?
