EPISODE 17: November 1989

In this episode, Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White are looking at programmes from November 1989. And they are…

10:06 The Doctor Who story Survival, starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. This three-parter brought the curtain down on the programme’s 26-year original run on BBC television.

27:37: The first episode of Dennis Potter’s controversial, sexually explicit drama, Blackeyes.

41:36: And the first episode of Tony Robinson’s children’s comedy, Maid Marian and her Merry Men.

51:25: Plus, an epochal moment in the lives of those Antipodean Neighbours.

Oh, and here’s that The Great Debate parody Stuart Clary told us about (thanks again, Stuart!).
