You should share the shows om YT.
No, copyright issues. I do have some "newsy" or doc clips online, but no full shows.

That is some amazingly good quality of a nearly 30 yr old recording. There's barely any interference or deterioration whatsoever; what video format did you record it on? and how have you managed to preserve them so well?. It's like they've barely been played much. I wish a lot of the recordings I have from this period (from Betamax) where has good as that. A lot of the tapes have been deteriorated quite a bit through ware and tear and tape damage, etc. Betamax tapes seem have been more prone to getting tangled in the recorder more than vhs from my experience.
Yes, just copied from VHS. I did a transfer to miniDV first and then firewired it into the PC for editing - slight cropping, colour correction, de-noising - and then on to YouTube.

This clip (well, there are 2 parts) is from a "crappy" VHS but if you ask me, it still looks much the same as a lot of Freeview channels today.

I feel the same way. i think your childhood christmases are always lodged in your memory because every year you think of them. I have to correct you though, in the 80s One of our Dinosaurs is missing was only shown Xmas 1984. I think you have imagined it to have been on more often than it actually was. I do that with 'Death on the Nile' for some reason I remember it as having been on several Xmases in the 80s, but glancing at the schedules I realise I am wrong
HMMM, Maybe I did and I am thinking of 1984 then. lol. I am positive it was on quite a few times in the mid to late 80s at Christmas. Must be my memory playing tricks on me.

That suprised me too. I remember taping it at the time. Peter Ustinov & Jon Pertwee I remember in it alough havent watched it since 1989. I did enjoy the film.

One step away from posting a couple of blank disks and a SAE.

Festive TV for 1986, thirty years ago, was quite strong.

The BBC also repeated it's popular kids series from two years earlier, 'The Box of Delights,' on Children's BBC.
?
loved the theme to 'box of delights' - 'the first noel' .

.
I love the Box of delights. Remember it from back in the day. Its now part of my Christmas tradition. Five days before Christmas Eve, an episode a night from the DVD with the final one on Christmas Eve. Lovely!

Not exactly Xmas '86, but dug out my copy the the New Years Day '87 repeat of Minder On The Orient Express. Watched the whole thing through complete with period (mainly holiday) adverts and 'New For '87 on HTV' trailers.

Haven't watched it or seen a repeat since then. For a 29 year old Saisho tape the picture quality is still good.

Plan to watch the 1988 Minder Xmas special at the weekend.

I notice the schedule is very middle class and highbrow.

I suppose the expectation would have been that the bulk of their audience would be fellow posh types like themselves : this would have been just before the emergence of more working class type programming.

I notice the previous evening, there was a children's religious service from Northern Ireland produced by BBC NI. Fascinating stuff.....this would have been a good five or six years before viewers down south even had a television channel.
