May 1997 highlights

Our trip to 1997 takes us back before an age of digital television. The current BBC corporate look was a few months away - no big red balloons would be seen until October - so the familiar idents introduced six years earlier were still in use.

BBC television was full of ex-ITV shows, including Through the Keyhole, University Challenge and perhaps most surprisingly, Blockbusters. Huw Edwards made a rare appearance co-presenting the Six O'Clock News, two years before he took charge of a revamped programme.

The Radio 1 management had recently taken one of their most bizarre decisions - to put Mark Radcliffe (right) on the breakfast show; other changes saw John Peel return to a weekday slot. Meanwhile the Radio 1-isation of Radio 2 had started - following the signing of Steve Wright a year earlier, he was now joined by the likes of Bob Harris and Alan Freeman, while a greater contrast could not be seen when Richard Allinson had recently took over from The Jamesons.

After many years of constant change in the early 90s, Radio Times had settled down in more recent times; the 1994 look was still in use, and continue until late 1999.

There was an Irish feel to the cover this week; Terry Wogan was flanked by Boyzone, marking the third Eurovision Song Contest in a row to be held in Ireland. But their run of success came to an end this year, as the United Kingdom finally claimed victory with Katrina and the Waves.

RT took a brief look over 3000 episodes of Blue Peter - now running in a thrice-weekly slot.
