If you’re anything like me you’ll find yourself wondering the oddest things in unguarded moments. A recurring train of thought has me musing what delights were on TV the day I was born.
Thanks to the excellent archivists at the BBC and their crack team of “BBC 2.0″ geeks (who must sadly suffer the worst label ever created), now I know. You can too.
So what did I miss as a day-old baby? I missed a Tomorrow’s World item on an exciting new hydraulic cutter that would go on to be known as the “jaws of life”. I missed convicted paedophile Jonathan King making an appearance on Top of the Pops. I missed kinky old Frank Bough telling us about the good value of new cars on Breakfast Time.
Most devastating of all, I missed the first and only BBC1 showing of one of the worst Doctor Who episodes ever recorded.
