    New site from the BBC , with every copy of the Radio Times from 1920 to now .
    I was December 1950 - yes they did have electricity and TV then !
    Saveen and Daisy May were on amongst many others - great stuff !

              Monday's child is fair of face,
              Tuesday's child is full of grace,
              Wednesday's child is full of woe,
              Thursday's child has far to go,
              Friday's child is loving and giving,
              Saturday's child works hard for a living,
              But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
              Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

              I was born on a Wednesday, 7.30p.m. at night and all the visitors were in the ward when I decided I wanted to be born!! :heehee:
