In case you thought social media had already wringed out clean every notable thing that ever happened in Bullseye, may we present the end of the Christmas special from today in 1987.

The South Bank Show today in 1996 followed RADA hopeful Maxine Peake to an elocution lesson, and she took with her drama school friend Diane Morgan.

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: today on BBC1.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Victoria Wood on That's Life!, playing her trusted *double checks* banjolele.

60 YEARS AGO TODAY: Bernard Cribbins is in his element as a knitting teacher in The Avengers.
