When our doorbell rings my daughter chants “There’s somebody at the door”. She has no idea why she does that. I have succeeded as a father.
Here is a bit of fun for a bank holiday Monday, using clips and programmes on YouTube I've edited together a recreation of a typical day's schedule on TCC from the late 80s. No idea how long this will be allowed to stay online, but enjoy it if you can. youtu.be/zq3UDu8_Q6M
The crazy @jonkasonic was tired of the lack of English dubbed Telecat on YouTube so decided to rectify it himself. Hilarity ensured. youtu.be/XeB9k6R3acs
Other people have their own TV station showing classic comedies running 24/7 on a raspberry pi and accessible no matter where you are in the world too, right?
1988 and I remember it well! I was visiting my grandparents who always bought the RTE Guide. My granny checked every shop in Tullamore trying to find a pair of those glasses but they were all sold out. We watched the 3d films and speculated what those with the glasses were seeing

On here a lot less these days, but still enjoy reading through the old tv listings. The Children's Channel on the 6th October 1990.
BSky doesn't actually mean BSkyB. Public service announcement. (Got an invite code though if anyone is in search of one)
Hmmm, what could “The X Men” be? Too early for the 90s Xmen animated series. Something completely different with a similar sounding name probably. The Children’s Channel on the 27th September 1991.
Come dream with me tonight! The Children's Channel on the 21st September 1993
So where are we all going to once this ship finally sinks?
Do you ever wonder, what happens under, under the umbrella tree. The Children's Channel on the 19th September 1989.
Truly outrageous. The Children's Channel on the 18th September 1994.
Cats large or small, cats thin or fats. The Children's Channel on the 15th of September 1989.
Nobody tells me what to do. The Children's Channel on the 13th September 1992.
Each ones so special in their own way. The Children's Channel on the 11th September 1990.
Good to see a new tv channel for children launching! Any chance of them showing Bouli?

Half three until close I would have been glued to the telly. The Children's Channel on the 6TH September 1991.
Always time for a bit of Mario before school. The Children's Channel on the 5th September 1994.
Good morning slimy furtlers.

@russty_russ Yes. Met her and Tommy Boyd at Alton Towers when they were working for The Children’s Channel.
Just discovered that THIS remarkable set is still available for £16.38 (!) on Amazon. All of Seven of One, all of Porridge, all of Open All Hours, all of Going Straight and all of The Magnificent Evans and if we must, all of Clarence as well. I've got one. You should too.

What I liked about The Children's Channel/TCC was that it showed you all sorts of cartoons from different countries (specially European ones), and not just ones from the UK and USA

I’ve never seen a “telerecording” of any Children’s Television continuity before the 1960s, so this 1958 recording of Sylvia Peters introducing an edition of Playbox (which alternated with Crackerjack fortnightly) is very rare! TX: 26/03/1958 #bbcarchive
#OnThisDay 1984 : The Childrens Channel also known by TCC began broadcasting. It would run until 1998. #80s
Have you retuned your receiver for The Children's Channel? Remember after September 1st you will no longer get TCC! Frequency 10.994 Ghz Polarisation - Horizontal youtu.be/T-IpRRleSa4
A level results day? Over 40 yrs ago I went to Kings London to do biology as they gave me a lower offer than Bristol and had great ecology courses. I got a first, but became a comedy writer and now children's author instead, and Kings abandoned its biology dept. Things change!
That’s the first time since it was recorded in 1993 that all 3 hours and 11 minutes have been played back in one go. Now, just what are we going to do with the digitised version… #LK30 #saturdaymornings
