We are All Very Familiar with The Phrase-'Everything Stopped at 4.00 P.M. For The Wrestling!'
Well it Didn't ALWAYS Start at 4 o' Clock!!
Whilst On SATURDAY Afternoons- BEFORE World of Sport-Times of Schedule Varied!!
As in The Below Example For a Show Broadcast From SHEFFIELD ROAD BATHS-ROTHERHAM
Which Commenced at 3.45!!- This is My Original Newspaper Cutting!!
'Twas an ABC Television Outside Broadcast!- The ABC Studios were in DIDSBURY MANCHESTER-
I Went There a Few Times to See Shows being Recorded in The 1960's-As No Doubt did RON?!
I Was also a 'Regular' at GRANADA Studios in Manchester-to be in The Audience for Pop Shows!!
MAIN MASK
As Peter says it didn't matter, and certainly didn't matter at the time.
With bills this impressive an early start did not matter
This Example of a Show at WEMBLEY TOWN HALL-Which Started at 3.30!!
HOWES versus SZAKACS-Here Spelled Wrong-Would Have been Good!!
