The Quiz #20

My 70's TV Childhood

Hello there and welcome back to the twentieth edition of our 1970s TV quiz. If you’ve listened to all our quizzes so far, well done on your stamina! If this is your first time tuning in, you are most welcome.

Our quiz format is straightforward. We have four rounds of five questions each, testing your knowledge of 1970s UK TV and topics we’ve featured over the five seasons of the My 70’s TV Childhood podcast.

It’s all for fun, so grab a pen and paper, top up your favourite beverage—mine’s a cup of tea again this week—and let’s get started.

We’re bringing back the Odd One Out round to kick things off this week. You enjoyed it so much last time that we had to reprise it.

After that, we'll move on to our familiar favourite: the marathon or Fil Rouge round, named in honour of It’s A Knockout and its European counterpart, Jeux Sans Frontières. This round features questions based on topics we've covered in over a hundred episodes of our podcast. Even if you haven't listened to every episode, you should still be able to make a reasonable guess.

Now, let's move on to what seems to be our most popular round, based on listener feedback: the Spin the Wheel and Name That Tune mashup combo round. It sounds incredibly exciting, doesn’t it? I’ll spin our specially constructed Wheel of Fate, which will give us a year from the 1970s—this week it’s 1973. I’ll then input that year into our AI-powered theme tune generator, which will produce theme tunes from TV shows that first aired in the UK that year. Get the theme tune right and you get a point. And what do points make? Prizes!

The final round is our TV Times round where anything goes on the trivia front.

For this week’s bonus question: In what month and year was the first episode of The Good Life broadcast? If you know the answer, drop me a line at [e-mail]. You can also get in touch via our blog at www.my70stvchildhood.com.

So how did you do? Either way, I hope you’ve enjoyed the quiz.

Don’t forget to like, rate, and review us wherever you get your podcasts, and tell your friends about us. Join me again soon for more from My 70’s TV Childhood and the My 70’s TV Childhood Quiz!

Take care,
