More than 40 years ago, Britain experienced the whitest Christmas of the 20th century, with other half the country blanketed in snow. This programme tells the story of this spectacular weather event. While children revelled in time off school, sledging, having snowball fights and building snowmen, adults struggled to get to work, and farmers' livelihoods were devastated. Featuring previously unseen archive footage and celebrity anecdotes.

Wow!

For one - 1981 was my all time favourite year for music as I was growing up - but I also have old school photos of showdrifts in my part of the English Midlands measuring as high as our 2 level house :-o ?!

This has never happened since... I'm interested tpo see what this doc has to say about the magic year of 1981...?!

[NB: that year is crucial in another trajectory too - when it comes to the ET/UFO/Exo issue... ?! ]

Interesting - I had not heard of this before. Where I am from, snowy winters used to be fairly common in those days, but I can't remember that far back - I was born in '81! But definitely late 80s and early 90s, and then it seemed to get warmer for whatever reason...

Talking Heads - Remain In Light was 1981, I think. Probably lots of other stuff, but that's one I remember and listen to lots.

Sure - Talking Heads and MANY MORE groups that were encountering the pop/music acceleration @ the time - that for those that were imaginative enough resulted in stunning music meshing the newer electroinic/early synth technologies...

an outdoor curling season every year here in Scotland.. not any more sadly...

In the TRUE game - not the posh olympic type - what do they use to do that weird brushing action ahead of the balls with a flat bottom?? :-o

I've always wanted to try out on a curling team - it's weirdly fascinating for some reason...
