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!

Random Tiswas quote:
"I think we were more Dada than Surrealist" - John Gorman, 1999 Random Tiswas fact:
Just before ATV was replaced by Central Television in the 1982 ITV franchise change, ATV ran a trailer about Central, re-assuring viewers that Tiswas would still be on air, featuring someone being flanned, with the pie-plate labelled 'Central'.
