893 Boxpops
First viewed : Winter 1988-89
A dip back into children's TV here although it's fairer to say it was family- friendly rather than specifically aimed at children. Boxpops was a re-branding of an earlier series Windmill ( which I never saw ) where Chris Serle presented clips from the BBC archive around a particular theme with an emphasis on music and comedy. Taking a leaf out of The Chart Show's book, Boxpops dispensed with human presenters, relying on computer graphics to link and date the items.
The programme was broadcast on Sunday mornings on BBC Two. I must have caught it by chance but then made a point of watching it if I was in that morning. It ran until 1992.
