Episode description

This month Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White are looking at programmes from May 1987...

05:56: A season three episode - 'Blonde on Blonde' - of US romance Moonlighting.

20:42: Paul Daniels' BBC1 chrono-obsessed quizzer, Every Second Counts.

37:26: John Godber's idiosyncratic BBC2 nightclub comedy-drama, The Ritz.

49:04: Network 7, Jane Street-Porter and Jane Hewland's Channel 4, youth-orientated current affairs show, which believed "news is entertainment, entertainment is news".

And huge thanks to Network 7's theme music composer, Steve Levine for his contribution to our discussion. You can find Steve on social media, @mrstevelevine
