    The BBC have uploaded every edition of the Radio Times from 1923-2009 to an online archive.

    http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/

    For me, there's a lot of stuff that's still familiar today: Jackanory, Blue Peter, The Magic Roundabout, Daktari, Panorama and Come Dancing.

    The main evening news was only on for 8 minutes and the weather is quaintly known as 'The Weather Man'.

    A couple of drawbacks are that they only show the South East region and the TV listings only go back to 1964, so tough luck if you're over 50.

    Blankety Blank!!!

    I was born in 1979 and I'm surprised to see that even then BBC1 & 2 would have regular shutdowns throughout the day! Even at lunch and tea times!
    It makes me wonder what those bbc bigwigs got up to during these consistant blackouts!!! I wonder what they did to pass the time!
