- Start the day off with Breakfast Time, preceded by either the test card, a mock ceefax page, or an era-appropriate clock with some archive continuity.
- If there is any sports coverage, have Grandstand, or the old Match of the Day intro
- Some old menu slides would be awesome
- Top of the Pops around Tea time
- One of the BBC's many prime time light entertainment shows, at least: Some Morcambe and Wise, some Two Ronnies, Kenny Everett maybe?
- Maybe during news programmes, BBC Two can join in, and have news slots filled with things like The Old Grey Whistle Test, or some vintage top gear.
- Monty Python's Flying Circus after the news
-At least one classic EastEnders episode, as voted by the public. Could be Frank and Pat's Wedding, June Brown's One hander, Den and Angie. One of the iconic ones.
- An early afternoon airing of Last of the Summer Wine or Only Fools and Horses
Something like that...
Addendum: Move the 10 o'clock news to 9 o'clock
Close down at midnight – no BBC News 24 during the night!
