It must have been re-released, because I saw it at the piccies on my (seventh?) birthday.
Loved it ever since.

1984
according to IMDb though I suppose that could have been 1985 before it was shown here

Nah, I was definitely old enough to see it and appreciate it,
so it must have been shown again a few years after it came out.
