If I was BBC DG, I would:

- Close down UK Gold
- Restore the separation of BBC News 24 and BBC World
- And BBC News 24 and BBC World to also screen documentaries, features apart from news
- BBC3 and BBC4 to become fully-fledged channels (BBC World to be relayed on BBC4's downtime)

Britain’s first long-range weather forecast: no White Christmas; instead, freezing fog and severe cold. The very wet weather in November is expected to give way to drier weather in December with rainfall below average. Severe cold spells will alternate with milder interludes.

This has already been in my cupboard for several years. And yet, it’s still got most of the decade before it is passed its bests.

The show the experts didn't like . . . WOULD IT BE THE SAME IF IT WAS CALLED 'FLORIZEL STREET'?
#CoronationStreet creator #TonyWarren can't get over the show's fantastic popularity. But fame as the creator of the series hasn't brought fortune . . .

"Pakistan was an acronym derived from the names of the regions it was meant to include: Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Iran, Sindh, Tukharistan, and Baluchistan."

I never knew that until now.

Being a collector means I have to get the worst as well as the best (it's the collector's law!), so I got Jim Davidson's "Up The Elephant and Round the Castle". If you ever needed a reminder of how shit life could be in the 80s, stick this on.
