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 30 April - 6 May 1988. This is the Scotland edition, sold originally for 37p.

The cover features a marvellous illustration by Bush Hollyhead ahead of an Omnibus documentary celebrating the work of Irving Berlin – there’s a two-page preview inside.

Features inside include:

·        to no great fanfare, the Eurovision Song Contest is broadcast from Dublin. There’s a picture of the UK representative, Scott Fitzgerald, with a panel showing all the songs alongside the programme listing, plus a short interview with Scott in the Upfront section, but little more!

·        a one-page interview with Rory Bremner

·        half a page on Bamber Gascoigne

·        Kaleidoscope celebrates Judi Dench

·        Very short pieces on Stephen Fry, Mike Harding and Maggie Smith

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.

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