50 years on getting older and older

It's an odd thing that I remember clearly what I was doing when the news came to the UK that John Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. I was watching "children's TV" - that is, the programmes on between 5 and 6 on the BBC and it was the first episode of Dr Who. "Kennedy's been shot" I rushed into the shop to tell mum and dad.
Except that's rubbish isn't it?
The news that Kennedy was shot reached the TV watching public at 6:42 on the Friday - Dr Who didn't start until 5:17pm on the Saturday although its start was delayed by some minutes because of the assassination coverage.
So I wonder what TV programme was I watching at 6:42 on Friday 22nd November 1963?
Ah well... two historic events to remember this weekend
