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 5-11 July 1986. This is the North East edition, sold originally for 32p.

 

The cover features the second anniversary for Crimewatch. Inside, a three-page feature explores how the programme helped in arresting a murderer.

Other features inside include:

  • A one-page interview with Marti Caine, who stars in a new series of Hilary
  • Peggy Mount and Liz Smith star in The Old Ladies at the Zoo, one of two radio dramas written by winners of the Radio Times Drama Awards
  • Three-quarters of a page on Screenplay: All Together Now, starring Clive Swift
  • Miles Kington relives his boyhood dreams on ‘Steam Days’ – one page
  • Short features on climber George Mallory and on Sloe Coaches, a new radio comedy starring Andrew Sachs and Roy Kinnear


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 light tanning in the cover margins.

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