great memories. christmas was great in the 80s good films and programmes all felt festive, unlike todays christmas tv which is cynical rubbish crap films and awful comedies and the idents are boring now too!
Christmas wasn't Christmas without a bit of Noel and me sat on the sofa aged 12 stifling tears and pretending not to cry when I was full to overflowing with all the reunions and good deeds delivered by Mr Edmonds! It makes me miss my Grandma because this was the time when we all trooped down to her house in Kent every year and she made our Christmases AMAZING (in between watching the BBC all day long).
Back To The Future was the biggest film of 1985...suprised they put this as a daytime film..would have put money on it being the main feature film of the night.
so true, a q.memorable 80s VHS-recording dilemma! I think Mary Poppins was on the day before, and I recorded Empire Strikes Back...and also had to annoyingly go someone's house for 'party'...where I watched Back to the Future..until he kissed Lorraine, which was wrong.
I love 80s and 90s terrestrial TV film trailers - these premiere screening were among the highlights of the day! I may just go watch a few BBC1 and ITV premieres again this crimbo for once!!
I remember this so much

Listen from 0:26. TV presenters spoke English back then! I cannot understand most of them today.

Wow...if I remember correctly, ITV premiered The Empire Strikes Back at the same time as BBC showed Back to the Future. It caused a real dilemma.

You are correct sir! ITV famously effed up the order of the Star Wars trilogy as 'Return of the Jedi was 1987's Christmas movie.

I remember being annoyed because I had to visit relatives, and they didn't want to watch either. :(
