NIGHTCLUB ’68 Featuring WENDY KING – Tyne Tees Television
Man City vs Norwich on Sunday
I think I’ll have a bet on the draw. According to the BBC
and the Official Barclay’s Premiere League website
it’s a foregone conclusion.
Man City aren’t that sure though.

Athens Daily Post – April 6th 1974
A souvenir from a school trip. The hotel room I was sharing was the only one, amongst our party’s rooms, to have a television set. So at 10.30pm about twenty people were in a room for two to watch ABBA win the Eurovision Song Contest, live from Brighton.
Following the cricket…
… on good old fashioned Ceefax, the North East of England being one of the few regions still receiving this service.
Channel 4 31-10-1984
I found this at the end of a VHS tape I’d recorded for school in 1984. It’s an entire commercial break, a continuity announcement plus the start of Channel 4 News on a day when an important international news event had taken place. More interesting than the preceding programme which I’d recorded on purpose.
The Creation – Making Time (1966)
Mystery sextet
How many of the above can you name?
Boxing Day Songs
I couldn’t think of any songs about, or even mentioning Boxing Day, but a quick YouTube search came up with these two.
First Elvis Costello performing TKO (Boxing Day) on Tyne Tees TV’s The Tube after the programme had gone off air but with the cameras still running (obviously)…
And in a pub in Derbyshire on Boxing Day 2008 here’s Helen Morris performing her self-composed Boxing Day Song…
