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 15-21 March 1986. This is the London edition, sold originally for 32p.

 

The cover features Jonathan Miller, who presents the two-hour special programme Origins. The programme explores the thorny question of ‘how did we get here and where are we going?’. There’s a two-page introduction inside.

  • Andrew Keir, Nigel Stock and (a very young looking) Iain Glen, star in the Screen Two presentation, Blood Hunt. There’s a two-page preview
  • a one-page interview with Barry Bostwick, who explains his delight at starring alongside Stefanie Powers (who plays two roles) in the thriller ‘Deceptions’
  • about a third of a page on A Song For Europe
  • Tim Heald writes a one-page profile of John le Carré, as A Perfect Spy is adapted for the Book at Bedtime slot on Radio 4
  • Michael Palin explains that of all the books he could choose to read on Jackanory, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is top of the pile
