Lights & Memories

Do you remember the night Jasmine Bligh stepped before the camera at Alexandra Palace and said, "Good afternoon, everybody. How are you? Do you remember me?" The evening the whole nation gathered round a neighbour's set for the Coronation? The Christmas night when 28 million of us watched Morecambe and Wise?

Lights & Memories takes you back to the golden age of British television - from the BBC's return in 1946 to the great dramas, the comedy legends, and the programmes that stopped the country in its tracks.

125 giant print multiple-choice questions cover the programmes we lived by: Coronation Street, Dad's Army, The Forsyte Saga, Z-Cars, Morecambe and Wise, Blue Peter, Thunderbirds, Doctor Who, The Sweeney, and dozens more. Questions about the ITV launch, the test card, the Toddlers' Truce, the spaghetti harvest hoax, Match of the Day's first match, and the night the whole Church of England rescheduled Evensong.

Written in a peer-to-peer tone that respects your knowledge and your memories - not a textbook, but a conversation between people who were there.

Every fact has been verified against historical records. No guesswork, no padding - just the real history of a world we remember with pride.

Printed in giant print for comfortable reading. Perfect for anyone who grew up with British television, and a wonderful gift for mothers, fathers, grandparents, and anyone who still misses the potter's wheel and the white dot.
