An Christmas 1980.....I got my first bike....a Raleigh Chopper,...I loved that bike, I excitedly rode it for the first to my grans for Christmas day tea,....great memories
I got a tape recorder thing. A little portable with a retractable handle. I was over the moon. Super Trouper by ABBA was the first album I got with it, so hearing Lay All Your Love On Me during Christmas 1980 idents brings it all back.
thanks for these great uploads. I was born in 74 and remember the late 70,s and early 80,s as a great time to be a kid. I whouldent want to be a young kid these days with all these stabbings going on.
@@susandoig4192 its got out of order susan and nothings being done about it. These kids just have no consequences for their actions from anyone, not their parents, or any sort of authority. When i was a kid if we got into trouble we got a walloping from our dads but you cant do that these days. They need to bring back borstals for the little shits. Try and watch a film called "juevenille liason" to see what i mean, its sometimes put on youtube in full but it gets taken off quickly, but there are snippets of it on youtube.
@Betty Davicise Not in the sarcastic context you mean, your attitude is the perfect example of what’s wrong with society. You’re a nasty piece of work.
@The Yesterday Machine I find there is little worth watching too. Long gone are the days when entertainment was entertaining, now it's all dribble and agenda driven lecturing.
@The Yesterday Machine It's the same here. I only find anything worth watching on Talking Pictures, Forces TV and That's TV Christmas. The rest are mostly bilge.
Christmas TV was looked forward to with great relish by us simple folk. The schedules were eagerly scanned for Christmas movie Premieres! For Morecambe and Wise... Yarwood... FFS! All this and Thatcher to.
Nice effort by BBC1 with the Ice Skaters Ident. What's weird is that almost no one seems to talk about the Christmas Idents they made. I really do like this ident. The skaters seem to skate around that snowman, day and night.
Hello David, I can’t thank you enough for uploading this. Used to have an old Betamax cassette with recordings of BBC’s 1980 Christmas fair and was thinking that it only exists now in my memory. How lovely then to hear those trailers again which are so etched in my mind. Christmas has indeed started early thanks to you :) You wouldn’t happen to have the Complete Val Doonican’s Christmas show for 1980 would you? (Titled “Val’s Special Years of Christmas”) would love to see it again...and perhaps Mike Yarwoods Christmas specials of the same vintage? A million thanks to you Sir!
Entertainment programmes are almost certain to be blocked. Now, with BritBox on its way broadcasters are clamping down on whole programmes being shown which they may use on their subscription service. I've just had to cut out 2 small clips from Morecambe & Wise and Steptoe even though they were part of another programme
I've only once asked someone to record something for me and I said start the tape 5 mins before the programme and let it over run. Nope I got just 30 minutes and no intro. From then on I wasted my own video tape :)
If you have any news reports from this Christmas I would love to see them. Many thanks in advance, Stacey Nelson (now 47 with a slightly better haircut).
There is a couple stills for sale on eBay from the tv production “to be transmitted Xmas 1980”. But I did check Radio Times and it was shown on Saturday 27th December 1980 at 21:35.
@@bdavebaldwin ah, well that source of accurate information, Wikipedia, must be incorrect, not only with its article for the play On Approval (the BBC production doesn't have a page of its own): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Approval_%28play%29?wprov=sfla1 But also for the articles on Penelope Keith and Lindsay Duncan, all of whom mention that the production was from 1982. Strange that. At least you have the documentary evidence, both in terms of video and the Radio Times, so I stand corrected.
@@nottmjas I also checked the IMDb database and that’s wrong as well. The internet isn’t being corrected so one error spreads rapidly as people re-write articles rather than start afresh.
@@bdavebaldwin there's a number of clips of the production on here, some stating 1982 as the date. Annoyingly, I can't seem to found any clips showing the end credits. Amazing how an inaccuracy can be spread on the internet until it becomes the "acknowledged truth".
@@nottmjas Before I looked at BBC Genome - with the Radio Times billings Dick Emery helped me out (they ran the trails for that programme endlessly in 1980)
Hi david, love your videos... Just watching this and you had a short clip of 'so you think you know Christmas ' with Cliff Mitchelmore and Magnus Magnusson - for some reason these quizzes have stuck in my head from my childhood - do you have the whole programme and if so would you or could you upload? It's a bit cheeky to ask, I know, but would do love to see this again. Thanks for all the warm and welcome memories .
Dick Emery was a one trick pony *ooh you are awful... * etc. The rest was tripe! 1980: I was still a virgin! Frankly I haven't done much better since 🙄
@@sergioroman2920 To be honest coming back from football matches I found his summaries tedious, but the driver ruled the radio. Then the irritating laughing on It’s a knockout - but millions ‘found’ it amusing. Fortunately I was spared his regional appearances. As with Saville he was over-smug and the people that helped build their arrogance went curiously quiet.
