Exactly 75 years ago today, BBC Television began regular broadcasting at Saturday teatimes with the very first episode of Whirligig, one of its first well-known, long-running children’s shows.
To mark the occasion, I’ve written a feature for the BBC website.

Shows like Whirligig seemed lost to ancient history even when people wistfully mentioned them in the eighties, so it's always a thrill to watch a documentary that makes them feel just that bit closer to the world as we still know it now. Hugely entertaining. Plus Stranger From Space content!

We all know what happened 13 years later - but how does this story begin...?

That Friday night comedy zone on BBC2 at the time was:
Not the Nine O'Clock News compilations / special Day Today bits as a five-minute filler / Coogan's Run / Have I Got News for You.
And there was Frasier and Clive Anderson Talks Back on Channel 4 as well.

Just rewatched "Get Calf" which was thirty years old this week. Still a fantastic half hour I can quote endlessly and only slightly less good than the video diaries which I find close to perfect. Now to weep for my youth...
