Radio Times from the eighties, which are printed offset (glossy paper rather than newsprint) are smaller in width and length than copies from the 1920s through to the early 80s (although, with a higher page count, heavier). As a result, they can be sent as Large Letters, rather than Small Parcels. So, to try to avoid confusion, they are listed differently to the others I'm selling, as having 'free postage'. However, if you want to include any glossy paper editions alongside earlier editions, I'll adjust the overall postage to offer the best deal possible. 

For overseas buyers, it may be worth considering International Economy (surface mail) rather than International Standard (Airmail). The package will take longer to arrive, but there's a big saving in cost!

 

Here is the Radio Times for 4-10 April 1987. This is the North East edition, sold originally for 35p.

 

The cover features the 60th broadcast of the Grand National on the BBC. A three page feature inside looks back across the decades, including, of course, the success of three time winner, Red Rum.


Inside Features:

·        a page on the evergreen Gardener's Question Time is accompanied by a page on the fiercely competitive world of leek growing

·        a full page on Phillip Schofield, who temporarily leaves the Broom Cupboard to present Take Two

·        a half page on Richmal Crompton, the creator of the character of (Just) William Brown and the subject of a radio portrait, The Woman Behind William
