London, England television schedule for Thursday 13 December 1979.
Although the worst of "tape wiping" was over by 1979, there are still some lost programmes on this schedule. For example, "Pebble Mill" continued to have its tapes erased into the 1980s. Meanwhile, a very large number of episodes of "Play School" were destroyed in the early 1990s.
