Comments: BBC radio HUMBERSIDE - opened 25 February 1971, over three years before the creation of the county of Humberside, and continues despite the abolition of that county. What did you expect - BBC radio Yorkshire and Lincolnshire? Bit of a mouthful innit? and radio Hull or radio Grimsby is biased! Where'd you get the logos from? Come to Hull, the BBC radio Humberside offices here still have their old logo up (but for how long, with the new regional HQ almost ready to open?)

Where are you from?: Kenilworth, Warks (now in Australia)
Comments: I found this great site looking for info about the 1986 Domesday Project (I'm
hoping to get that restored asap). Wow, these 1980s pages are excellent! I remember the Adventure Game and its scary "vortex" game :) And the Box of Delights is one of my good memories; watching that last episode on Xmas eve 1984... Sure was a good time to be a youngster (watching TV and playing computer games) :D
RW replies: There is no programme guaranteed to put you in a festive mood more than The Box of Delights!

Comments: Hi! Wanted to say how much I love this site. came across it ages ago but forgot the link. Spent hours and hours going down memory lane (the 80s zone was right down my alley, having been a child of the eighties) reading the content before. Am delighted that I managed to find it again and have made sure I don't forget the address again! Keep up the good work!

Where are you from?: Halifax, now in Bookham, Surrey
Comments: What a fascinating site. I found this looking for the cover of a Rod Hull & Emu "radio Times",
17-23 May, '73, I think. I have a collection of radio Times (and TV Times) from 1966 and am exploring selling some "multiple" issues. Unfortunately, at present they are in Hfx., so your site is interesting and brings back memories! Regards, Andy.

Where are you from?: Brighton, East Sussex
Comments: Very helpful, thorough and informative site, enabling one to trace the development of British broadcasting over the decades - I'm extremely impressed. Just one question - can you recommend an authoritative source on the development and introduction of colour television in the UK in the 1950's and 1960's? RW replies: Try British TV History for chronology and information on the launch of colour television

Name: Joe Havard
Where are you from?: Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Comments: On Monday, November 19 2001, I almost fainted when I got up and saw that a decades worth of clever and magnificent idents had been axed. I told myself it will be fine, hoping there would be another selection of Idents. However, it was shocking when I realised they all had the same colour backcround - yellow. However it has taken me over 18 months to make friends with the new idents . I thought last night that as long as the clever "2" shape with smooth curves and sharp egdes was still here, then BBC2 would still look clever. This "2" shape has been displayed in a number of ways since 1991 and its character is still asociated with this channel which happens to be 40 next year!

Where are you from?: West Midlands
Comments: Just felt I must congratulate you for what must have been a lot of hard work in creating a web-site containing so much of interest. Just a small point-some Radio 2 schedules would have been of interest. Best wishes and thank you. RW replies: Radio 2 schedules from the past have since been added to Telly Years

Name: Dave
Where are you from?: UK
Comments: Great site - especially the 80's TV Bits. Can you remember an 80's kids gameshow for me? It may have been hosted by Debbie Greenwood. The theme tune was definitely Airborne from Mike Oldfields "Platinum" album. The backdrop was two robotic looking faces facing each other. What was it called and are there any web sites about it?
RW replies: It was called First Class - details now added to The Eighties Zone
