First viewed : Spring 1987
This started as a daytime show when BBC One launched its afternoon schedule in the autumn of 1986 but was promoted to an early evening slot in March 1987. As the title suggests, it was a magazine programme about clothes. It was originally presented by top fashon designer and Mr Sandie Shaw, Jeff Banks and clothes horse Selina Scott. They were joined by rather cute magazine editor Caryn Franklin who took over as main host with Banks when Scott left.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone less interested in clothes than me but I did show some interest when they covered women's swimwear.
The programme led to an annual fashion show Clothes Show Live which started in 1989 and continued when the programme was discontinued in 2000. Six years later it was resurrected on a satellite channel with Franklin resuming as one of the hosts and continues to the present day.
