Scanfest 2010 continues with by far the most interesting find from our archive yet. Yes, even more interesting than the FA Cup Final programmes from 1986 and 1989.

One of the things we love most about the BBC website (even more than the two bits of it that mention us) is the Freedom Of Information section.
