Friday 19 April 1968 television schedule for North East England.
Yes, I've posted four schedules so far today. I am feeling a bit too tired to watch feature films or read a book (and heck, a 30-minute sitcom would be too much for me, such is my exhaustion), but these 1968 UK schedules are very easy and fun to post (in contrast to the American ones, which are a lot more work because of the longer programming hours and larger number of channels).
BTW, I recommend everyone check out the show "Spindoe", a crime drama mini-series. The production values I admit are iffy, but it's very good nevertheless. It's on DVD along with the notorious "Big Breadwinner Hog".
