Evening of April 20, 1964: BBC 2 attempts to air...

BBC 2 launched, but did not get off to a good start as programs were interrupted due to a power cut at Battersea Power Station in London. It was Play School at 11:30 AM on the following day and that was the first official program on BBC2.
An impromptu news report was hurriedly put to air instead, from Studio A at Alexandra Palace, which was unaffected by the power cut. The abortive attempt at a launch of BBC2 was thought never recorded. However, in 2003, this recording was discovered. It was recorded, off-air, at the BBC Research Department at Kingswood Warren in Surrey. There is no sound for the first 3 minutes - and this is as transmitted.
April 20, 1969: The last episode of ITV series, Joe 90, was broadcast on Joe's 10th birthday. It follows 9 year-old Joe McClaine, who becomes a spy after his adoptive father invents a device capable of transferring expert knowledge to a human brain, enabling him to become a secret agent code-named "Joe 90".
There were 30 episodes and you can watch them all on Youtube.

DOJ outlines benefits rule for Havana syndrome victims
They should allow every American to report symptoms of Havana Syndrome. We need universal coverage. Oh yea, the NIH in a recent study said there is no link with HS victims to brain injuries.
