Hi folks!

Occurred to me earlier that it’s exactly 34 years to this day that the Star Wars Radio Drama was aired on BBC Radio 1, at 12pm. I have all the original Radio Times issues with the airdates and episode descriptions and a two-page special about the show which was included in the magazine.

These shows have a special nostalgic appeal to me as my Mum used to record them onto my old Grundig TK20 reel-to-reel deck (we didn’t have a decent Hi-Fi for years!) whilst I was at Junior School. Until we got our first VCR that tape was played almost daily - ah those halcyon days 😉 I’m going to be listening to the episodes on the same day/time order as the original air dates, which handily match date/day this year.

If they’d be of interest to anyone here I’ll scan them all in as a sort of ‘mini project’.

Cheers!
