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 31 August - 6 September 1985. This is the South edition, sold originally for 30p.

 

The cover features Maurice Colbourne, Tracey Childs and Edward Highmore, three of the stars of the new series Howard’s Way, which sets sail on Sunday. There’s a one-page preview inside.

  • a full page on Open All Hours, as it begins season four, including an interview with David Jason
  • Alf Garnett (and, by definition, Warren Mitchell) return to tv in In Sickness and In Health, the follow up to ‘Til Death. A two-page feature talks to Warren and series creator Johnny Speight
  • A chat with Ray Brooks and Sharon Duce forms the main part of a one-page feature on the return of Big Deal
  • A two-page feature on The Lenny Henry Show
  • Denis Quilley talks about his new role in the political thriller, Murder of a Moderate Man
  • Short pieces on Miranda Richardson and composer Peter Maxwell-Davies

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