Bash Street Kids Annual 1993

The Bash Street Kids comic strip from The Beano began appearing in collected volumes in 1980, old strips from the comic accompanied by some new features and artwork. Part of the fun of the annuals is (well for me anyway) trying to work out when the comic strips appeared in the Beano originally.

Early on in this annual there is a hint, the story TV or not TV features the kids as TV mad and watching breakfast TV. It is likely this is mentioned due to breakfast TV being new and novel at the time, that would put the stories in this annual around the 1983 time frame. 

Olive also appears as the cook and she did not feature until 1981, earlier annuals had different and unnamed school cooks (though just as inept!)

This is a good annual anyway, not quite as good as the annuals released in the 1980s which featured strips from the 1960s and 1970s, a true golden age.
