In celebration of our 40th birthday, we've picked a few of the best pictures from our archives.

Below in the slideshow, you'll see pictures from each decade of BD. These have been extracted from our special limited edition 40th anniversary book, The BD Archives.

The book, which contains images from every year of BD, is exclusively available to subscribers.

To mark our 40th anniversary, we're offering a special rate of £40 for 40 issues – which includes a free copy of the limited edition 40 years of BD book.
