Agreed. Imagine if they preserved the days broadcast exactly as it went out - ads, news broadcasts and all - and played it in sync with the current day (so for instance, today would play 16th January 1983 for example) Bliss.

That's really looking through the world through rose tinted spectacles. I lived through those days myself and The early 80s in particular were pretty grim - horrible times in many ways. I always remember kids in my school going round singing racist songs their parents had taught them. God forbid that you were in any way 'different' because the level of face to face bullying you'd get was off the charts. Kids were much more physically aggressive then too. Britain wasn't the country with the highest levels of violent crime in Europe in the 80s for no reason. All eras have their good and bad points, but it's true what they say ' "The older we get, the better the past becomes in our minds".

@@darrenc2721 You were a kid, and looking at the world through the eyes of a child. Kids in any era don't have worries. The odler we get, the better we imagine the past was. If we actually think about it, we can remember our grandparents and parents moaning back then about how bad things were then compared to their day. I don't know sometimes whether it's that people actually want to be childlike at times, or whether they are simply terrified of ageing so retreat into a semi imagined past.

Not only that, but no kids broadcasting like we used to have.

Switch it on now and you have cooking shows on in the morning instead. No Christmas Day Top of the Pops either.

Far better than the trash that’s served up on BBC and ITV now. Strictly Come Dancing? I’m a Celebrity? The Masked Singer? Ant and Dec? Not to mention it’s the same schedule from the last 20 years with barely any variation. At least back in the 80s the BBC knew the value of a good British sitcom and what the value of a good laugh was. Now we’re too caught up on reality TV shows. Not all of us likes to watch singing and dancing every Saturday night.

If you have no interest in celebs (if you can call them that) dancing and singing, you’re fresh out of luck. Those shows seem to be cheap to produce and unfortunately get the viewing figures, so the Beeb and ITV wont provide anything else. But you’re right - the variety of comedy and entertainment back then was staggeringly good; it almost seemed that the BBC knew that comedy was a ratings winner and kept on putting out great sitcom after great sitcom. Nothing like that nowadays.
