N.B. The above is not guaranteed to be accurate. The old memory isn't as good as it used to be.
Events on the Children's Programme are entered only where they cross over onto the main programme.
There was also the Empire Cinema which ran films nightly, which it was not felt necessary to list, and
the Playhouse theatre, whose productions I could not recall.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any additions, amendments or comments.
If anyone has a copy of the original Programme, I'd be thrilled to see it.
(Just think, I gave out thousands of them, and yet didn't keep one. Doh!!)
