#OnThisDay 25 February 1987
The third and final series of comedy show Fast Forward begins at 16.35 on Children's BBC, starring #FloellaBenjamin and #NickWilton.
There's some suspicious giggling at the joke:

For once the screen at the gym was showing something worth watching, though I didn't see the whole thing: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... #FloellaBenjamin Baroness Floella Benjamin talks about her early childhood in Trinidad and her move to England. Touchy-feely with substance.
