Difficult for some to comprehend that the BBC only launched a full daytime service in 1986, with BBC1 on air from 6 am until midnight. The next thing you knew, pubs were no longer being forced to close their doors in the afternoon either. When viewed from today, these appear rather small matters, but in a way they changed society quite fundamentally. Even the idea of 'repeat showing' seems of its time now.For us middle aged types....it was different to the norm,and essential viewing when growing up.
