1994

[taleoftwolives]

Was just going to add a huge thanks Lorcan for this... I was studying 
94 very intensely last night - will 92/93 be forthcoming at some 
point? (I don't want to make that sound ungrateful btw, just 
enquiring).

I remember back in the day desperately awaiting the Ceefax listings 
to be updated every week - usually if I didn't quite catch an ID of a 
tune fast enough when scribbing it down at 1 in the morning!

What's really weird, is that despite being over 10 years ago, looking 
at some of the 94 playlists, I can remember parts of the shows in 
their running order of play like yesterday!
