As for TV in the north of Scotland in 1954, she can't have seen it live, it must have been a VHS recording.


A VHS recording? In 1954?

2" quad hadn't even been invented in 1954, let alone VHS!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think you’ve missed another joke about historical inaccuracies Wink As obviously in 1954 she would have been watching it on a DVD.

I'm sure I heard a Ken Bruce listener had told their kids that "when I was your age, all TV was black and white, and when your Gran was your age there was no television." After a pause the kid asks "Did she have to watch it on the internet?"!
I may be one generation out here......

My nephew doesn't even believe me when I say that when I was born there were only 4 national channels (although only just, C5 was just about to launch a few months later).

He's right not to believe you. Sky was around for some time before Channel 5 launched!

Well some would quibble about C5 being a 'national' channel given how patchy the original coverage was pre- DTT...

I am old enough to remember C4 launching mind...

You know what I mean. Four channels that pretty much anyone could get without having to pay extra.
