[Miami Seagull]

Trooping the Colour, the Telegoons and the Roy Castle show!! fascinating!

January 1959 'Mainly for Women' with advice on family caravan holidays and how to make the perfect pear tart. The evening line up of a quiz show, boxing and a Canadian wartime drama look better than BBC1 most days this week.

Being born early July, its always bloody Wimbledon on TV. As a kid I used to hate the fact it was always Tennis on TV on my birthday. Don't like it much now either.

Unless repeated, that means you and I were born on the same day! Were you born on a Tuesday and will you be 50 in just under 4 months time?

Edit: Just realised it could had have been a series, so no, probably not born the same day

When searching for the tv programmes, the Radio Times dating is for a week. Open up the Radio Times just before your date of birth.

It was England v Australia cricket and the Olympics the day I was born. My Dad was annoyed that my birth at 3.30pm interrupted his cricket.

20.10 : Panorama
The Price of Peace
Along with everything else, the price of peace is soaring. Despite controversial cutbacks the British defence project still adds up to a staggering £4½thousand million. But according to a special internal inquiry almost exactly that amount is being wasted each year by Britain and her allies in NATO through duplication and non-standardisation of weapons systems. A high price to pay in peacetime and possibly the ultimate price to pay in war.
Tonight in a special report Robert MacNeil examines NATO, the last of the big spenders, and the allies who ' compete more amongst each other than against the enemy.' Presented by David Dimblcby
