[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 269151, member: 176256"] Well I have the means to tell you exactly what was on. My 1965 copy of TV Times, dated August 7 to 13, tells me that Summer Sport was on until 5:15 followed by Sir Francis Drake, starring Terence Morgan as the knight and Jean Kent as Queen Elizabeth. News followed that and at 5:50 was Lucky Stars (the Thank Your bit having been dropped sometime before). The Dec 17 - 23 1966 Radio Times shows that after Dixon there was a film, High Adventure, and then at 8:55 The Val doonican Show (special guest stars Roy Castle, Kenneth McKellar and John Williams). This was followed by another News and then Points of View, Match of the Day and The Late Show before the Weather at 11:25. Close down was shortly after! Interestingly many of he programes were flagged as a BBC Recording. The film obviously wasn't but the Val Doonican Show appears to have gone out live. They don't have the balls to do that any more! BTW, the term for this sort of stuff is Ephemera, things that would normally get thrown away but happen to survive. Historians love finding this kind of thing as it gives them an idea of what everyday life was like. [/QUOTE]
