Not every edition of Tiswas is detailed here, but we've made a big start thanks to Tiswas fan Dave Clark, and a collection of TV Times at Birmingham Central Libary. We're concentrating on the early years at first, they are the rarest of all. 1974 and most of 1975 are detailed. All of 1977 has been detailed also, and that is a landmark year for Tiswas, as it saw the presenting team changed radically to include Sally James and drop some of the older faces, plus the first shows to be broadcast to places other than the midlands!
