You know Rob.Thats exactly what I did.And thanks for the confirmation.I threw my Cassette tapes away in about 1990.
Can you remember any more details.For instance...I said in my original e-mail it
was Weekend World that immediately preceded UFO,but that was wrong..I just recall it being a kind of fore runner of
the Simpsons called Wait till your Father gets Home,by Hanna Barbara.Do you remember it as well? Weekend World was on before Wait Till Your Father gets Home.

Also I get this feeling that UFO was on Sunday lunchtimes both in 1972 and 1973 (by the way I am definitely not certain on this point),
but do you remember it this way.Also if UFO was on Thursday nights at the beginning of March 1973..that would mean it would have been on
right in the middle of the Sunday showings.As I said I don't remember it ever being on twice a week,nor do I recall it being on for say 5 weeks
then change to another day and time and then revert back to a previous time and slot.And what about the 2 ATV MIDLANDS 1973 issues of
the TV TIMES I purchased.In those magazines in the 1-15 lunchtime slot were Randall and Hopkirk Deceased.On occasions UFO would be dropped from the schedule
to accomodate a political or sporting event,or perhaps the Benny Hill show,but never a similar programme at the same time.

Just to confirm The Thursday night Showings were RS,LS,CWTL,MB,PSYCHOB and TL.Do you remember recording those as well?

Any clues gratefully appreciated.
