CITVs 30th Anniversary Weekend

CITVUK TV channel CITV is 30 years old this week! To celebrate, they are dedicating an entire weekend to showing some of the best bits from the 80s and 90s.

Shows on offer include Super Gran, the comedy about a bionic OAP (with a theme tune sung by Billy Connolly); Count Duckula, the David Jason-voiced animation about a vegetarian vampire; Press Gang, Steven Moffat’s drama in which Dexter Fletcher and Julia Sawahla bicker over the running of a school newspaper; and Knightmare, which used early computer graphics to transport game players into a fantasy world.

I don’t mind admitting I’m incredibly giddy about all this!

The full line-up is as follows…
