What We Were Watching: Christmas 1984
Grace Dent presents a televisual trip back in time to the festive season of 1984, examining all the small screen content that viewers were glued to four decades ago. It was the year that Band Aid first came together to 'Feed the World', lycra and legwarmers were fashion essentials and Elton John got married for the first time. On the small screen, Miss Marple was a big hit and US super soaps Dallas and Dynasty were toppled by the arrival of gritty homegrown drama EastEnders
What We Were Watching: Christmas 1984 airs on BBC Four at 2:45 AM, Sunday 29 December. (Subtitles.)
