TV
I was a great fan of both types of silver screen in the 80s. I loved the little one that sat in the corner of the living room and I also took every opportunity to go and stare at the much larger version(s) at the cinema - so not all that often then. In categorising TV and Film events it is obviously much easier to fit a film to any given year as they had a release date. TV series of course may have spanned several years or even decades. That said, some TV series were scheduled over short enough timescales for us to say, that was from 198x. Of course certain TV events were very definitely categorisable to a single year. So, please excuse the apparently ad hoc nature of what follows. Oh and another note, this time for any younger readers. Until about 1982 when Channel 4 launched in stages across the country, we only had three channels. The advent of cable was a very slow (and painful progress) and Sky didn't... ahem, launch until 1989.
