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 11-17 March 1989. This is the London and South East edition, sold originally for 40p.

 

The cover shows Kylie and Jason, flying the flag, as RT examines the popularity of Australian films and tv. Inside, there’s a feature on ‘The Whiz Kids of Oz’, plus a two-page article on the impact of Australian dramas on UK tv audiences.

 

Other features of interest inside include:

  • a look back at Juke Box Jury with original host David Jacobs
  • a one-page article on the Screen Two drama Ice Dance, which tells the tale of a young duo hoping to become the next Torvill and Dean
  • Neighbours star Anne Charleston describes 'My Kind of Day'

Full listings are given for all BBC radio and tv programmes.

 

The magazine is in good condition, clean and flat with no clippings or annotations, just with some moisture marks in the back cover margin.

The magazine will be posted in a new padded envelope with card stiffener.
