Loved the show Steve #stevewright #ripstevewright

The Peter Serafinowicz Show Christmas Special. HOW is this not better known? In its own idiosyncratic but entirely accessible comic universe, highly original from start to finish and there isn't a single sketch that misses. AND THAT'S *STILL* NOT ALL! https://t.co/tKsstSgUr9

Here's a free treat for Christmas! The special Southern 65th event with the lovely @FDinenage was filmed and here it is in its entirety. Hosted by @ALEXDYKE1 https://t.co/iJHtam27er

LOST TELLY FOUND! @TaraWardBooks has discovered a VHS recording of the first 3 episodes of the lost 1984 TVS drama #TheBrief starring her late husband, the much-missed #RayLonnen The 13-part series co-starring #IsobelBlack & #SabinePostel is sadly missing from the archives 1/3

Recently APTS Archive made a significant discovery in terms of television history. 87 years ago DH Munro (Pre-war Productions Manager) filmed the trial programmes to RadiOlympia on 9.5mm cine film. The film is currently being digitised - follow for future updates. @BBCArchive

The Crooked House Pub is no more, but it survived the Dudley Earthquake of 2002 - here's Bob

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: Granada's Chip In was one of the first programmes to try and capture the home computer boom, including two families playing off in a version of an Atari shooter in which the Granada logo shoots down mutant Liver birds.

I think @BBCArchive read my mind - a long clip of the Philpott File with Cannonball the coach driver has appeared https://t.co/Qf5SmNvBkT via @YouTube

Both from IBA's TV and Radio 1980, which must have the most enticing cover of the entire series - Piggy, Waterman, Ford and Walden! @transdiffusion @UKPRES1

I used to love The Lotus Eaters, and had rather a thing for Wanda Ventham at the time. I hear they're planning a remake, featuring jet-setters nibbling on a cinnamon-flavoured biscuit with their cappuccinos.

Jon Snow finds out that The Flintstones were going on strike in ITN's News at One in 1987

"Got pork for lunch on Sunday?" This Scarred For Life favourite is easily the most sinister advert ever made, considering what it's selling.

On this day in 1980, an unscreened (for obvious reasons) and revamped pilot version of TOTP was recorded. BBC crew members were drafted in to impersonate the hitmakers (with varying degrees of success).

A who's who of British acting talent at the RSC in Sept 1981. An old family photo! @TheRSC @All_Allam @4SheilaHancock @sirpat

Random find of the day - a Beiderbecke Connection bowl designed by none other than James Bolam and Barbara Flynn at an antiques shop. #beiderbecke #yorkshiretelevision #jennyhinchcliffe

@universaluk Not my type of movie. Pass.

#NationalVCRDay 7 June 2023. #OTD (7 June 1980) I wandered around the studio at BBC TV Centre, being a nerdy nuisance, shooting amateur BTS footage of the making of #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy pilot episode, using a borrowed (heavy!) portable VHS VCR. https://t.co/8OGaOmszAE
