So, what was on telly on the day you were born?
If you are in the UK, a new search facility of the newly-digitised back issues of Radio Times will tell you!
I searched, and found this was the evening's line-up on the date I was born 51 years ago in August:
17.25 : FRANCIS DURBRIDGE PRESENTS - "The Desperate People", starring Denis Quilley, Hugh Cross, June Ellis, David William and Shirley Cain.
17.50 : THE NEWS
17.55 : TODAY'S SPORT, introduced by Alan Weeks.
18.00 : JUKE BOX JURY, with chair David Jacobs and panel members Carole Carr, Ted King and Barbara Windsor.
18.35 : THE THIRD MAN - TV adaptation starring Michael Rennie and Jonathan Harris.
19.00 : WELLS FARGO - the adventures of Special Agent Jim Hardie, played by Dale Robertson.
19.50 : THE DICK EMERY SHOW, with guests Joan Sims, Gary Miller, The Springfields, Mary Millar, Rex Garner and the Cliff Adams Singers.
20.35 : The Saturday Film - THE EAGLE AND THE HAWK, starring John Payne, Rhonda Fleming and Dennis O'Keefe.
22.15 : THE NEWS
22.25 : MAIGRET - classic crime series, starring Rupert Davies.
23.15 : Close Down
With that much entertainment on offer, you'd need to be in bed early.
