Christmas 1981 on BBCtv part 1 

I'm certain that if there was a TV channel that played the daily TV schedules from the 70's and early eighties that millions would watch . Its just so varied and relaxing

Brilliant. Nostalgic and when xmas was really magical

80's TV nostalgia, love it.

i remember 2001 a space odyssey, capricorn one and close encounters 3rd kind having their tv premieres over this xmas period...first xmas we had a vhs video recorder!... our CE3K copy still plays well to this day!

Wish I Could go back in time, Christmas TV Back then was Quality

I wish I had a time machine, I would go back like a shot.

Oh wow it's good to see this, as Xmas 81 for me was one of the best!! :)

And now nearly 40 years ago, all those comedy shows can be seen on UK Gold over and over and over and over and over and over again.

BBC1 1981 Christmas music is by The Nuptown Keys if anyone is interested! Now on iTunes!

Great memories. I remember watching the Poseidon Adventure that year on Christmas Eve I think.

The ident they used this year was VERY Colorful. It looks like a solar system of colored globe ornaments hanging right before our eyes. Altho the logo at the bottom seems like the logo of an Italian Restaurant

I was eleven and a half, in my first year at senior school. Life was less complicated back then - kids like myself could just enjoy being young without pressures from social media. No cyber bullying or mobile phones to pester us.

Thankyou when Christmas t.v. was good

I Lol'ed at

wanna go back to those days...

Then Festive television was home grown family entertainment, now its blockbuster films and Soaps full of death and disaster. How times change.

Happy holidays from all of us on Mash! 😊

PS:

I’m going to save this for ‘later’ because I always work out how old I was that year and some I can remember what gifts I got and then we do a memory deep dive and cry🥹🥹 Christmas was about the only time everyone was happy and nice to each other😭

I wondered how Jim fixed it for so long
