The 14th was a Thursday, just before Eastenders started and my mother's birthday on the 23rd and also my nephews birth on the 21st of Feb.

This is just before the COW/Eastenders/Wogan Michael Grade revolution! The last of the Golden Era!

Haha, very nice to see this again after many years. Actually when you wrote "old style weather" I thought you meant the one where he actually used to physically put the weather symbols on the map himself.

It's funny how they always saved Michael Fish for bad weather reports. At least, that's what I always felt.

This band sounds like they are trying to copy the Police somewhat.

[ajuk1]

What band was that?

My apologies it IS 14th Feb 1985, I've just seen the first clip that you uploaded and it clearly shows the Wogan show starting the following week beginning Monday 18th Feb. Eastenders started of Tues 19th Feb.
