For want of anything better to do during lockdown, I decided to compile a fantasy single day schedule of programmes shown on BBC One during the week I was born. I completed this futile task by referencing the invaluable BBC Genome site.
All of the programme lengths are correct, I didn't cheat. That would really be pointless. Obviously it resembles no BBC One schedule in history, but I did try to make it look vaguely realistic in terms of when these programmes would be shown on this made-up day.
Anyway, it whiled away an hour or so. You might enjoy trying it too.
