RTV - Retro Television

19/03/2024

Everyone

Unfortunately, I have decided to not take this project forward due to a lack of enthusiasm from various platforms. I wish those who make the calls were as excited about it as well all were. The impression I'm getting is that there are too many options out there already. Which is a shame, because not one is doing what I had planned. Hey-ho!

If you're all still in the Retro mood and have a need for nostalgia, please join my LASER558 group where I have recreated the classic pirate radio station from the '80s that changed how we listen to radio. Download the app, listen on your smart device, or on DAB in some areas. Visit the website, and relive the 80s!

Thank you all for your support.

LASER558 is a recreation of the station that broadcast from the MV Communicator in international waters of the North Sea.

Great 50s - 80s Retro Radio at www.jukeboxradio.live

Instant requests from 9-5 and overnight, Disco nights Fri & Sat, Junior Choice Sat & Sun mornings... I'm loving this station!

Playing the greatest songs from the four greatest decades of music (in our opinion), Jukebox Radio is where you can listen to the classic hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s with almost no interruptions. We also revisit the golden era of radio comedy, children’s favourites on weekend mornings, disco...

Hands up if you know what this is and remember getting caught up in the hype? I know I certainly tried to solve it.

RetroTV has a new staff member, appointed to 'Head of getting in the way'. She's an eight-week-old tortoise shell and is looking for a name... we're thinking something retro telly-themed. Any ideas?

Who remembers when a Bank Holiday consisted of cartoons in the morning, some sport, a choice of movies on either channel and maybe a 'Holiday Special' in the evening. What are your favourite Bank Holiday TV memories? For me... you can't beat a bit of Disney Time.

What is it that draws you to older TV programs? Is it the memories of the show itself? Is it a sense of comfort or security? Also, is your passion more for comedy shows, movies, drama, kids' shows, or something else? I'd love to hear any answers.

Name the program...

What was the best movie you’ve seen recently?
The best movie I've seen recently is Clue, starring Tim Curry. It's a funny take on the board game Cluedo. Funny from start to finish, with three different endings. How about you?

Name the movie...

07/04/2023

What movie, or tv show, could you live in? Personally, I'd be happy in an old chair at the back of Bagpuss' shop, just watching them fix things and tell their stories.

Name that movie...

Which piece of technology, from any movie or program, would you like to see as a reality?

05/04/2023

What song, or theme tune, from the past always puts you in a good mood?

05/04/2023

Which theme tune, or piece of music, would you want as your own personal intro music that would play every time you walked into a room? In other words, which piece of music really sums you up?

What age do you wish you could permanently be? Would it be an age when you had the most fun? Or the age when you met someone special? I’d like to be 12 again, with summer holidays out on my bike without a care in the world.

What’s something you like to do the old-fashioned way? Are you a stickler for tradition and still do something a certain way? For me, it's dinner around the table with the family.

Today in 1975, the BBC broadcast the first episode of The Good Life which ran for four series over only three years. It was relaxed Friday night viewing, apart from the last series which was moved to Sunday.

This day in 1971, the final episode of Catweazle was shown on ITV. It starred Geoffrey Bayldon who has appeared in 100s of film and TV shows. But... did you know that he was also the prison Governor in Porridge The Movie?

The 3rd of April in 1982 was a Saturday, and both Tiswas and O.T.T broadcast their final epsodes. Hand's up if you were fans?

02/04/2023

It's 7pm on a Friday night in April 1979 and you're deciding what to watch on TV tonight. Both BBC1 and ITV are showing American programs, and your choice is either Wonder Woman on BBC1 or Mork and Mindy on ITV. Which are you watching?

Who had a 3D Pin Art in the 80s? And who poked themselves in the eye when you tried to put your face in it?
