- Except for the fact that, precisely because of JFK, the first
- episode didn't go on at 5:15. The BBC had been covering the JFK story for 24
- hours and finally went back to regular programing at 5:25. Thus the first
- episode went on the air 10 minutes late. Rather a grim piece of trivia I'm
- afraid.

- Oh well. Happy Anniversary folks. Maybe the BBC will be smart enough
- to do a (new) special for the 30th next year.
