From a Christmas that nearly never was for the BBC. Unions went on strike on 21st December 1978 at the BBC, blacking out BBC One and BBC Two for two full days. On 22nd December, BBC Radio went on strike, with Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4 merged into one emergency station for a few hours. A deal was reached just before 10.00pm on Friday 22nd December and thus Christmas 1978 on the BBC was saved.
