I remember how bad it was. Don't think Benny Hill's been on but I still fail to see why people found that funny. I didn't at the time, but the 70s was shit for TV, not to mention some of those fashions 70s

Oh, on next week. Must remember to watch it

Argh, 70s wallpaper :D

Did you see the game show prizes (mink coat, dog etc?)
 
Not surprising. Thank fuck his shit's never repeated here. Don't know whether it's still shown on American TV but he was/is well popular over there


didnt mind him slapping the wee bald fellas head and getting chased round the park with the wacky music...harmless enough for its time ... but that other stuff was well out of order .
 
Pity the programme itself was so fucking crap. It would have been nice to have seen something with more depth.
 
and wtf was that game show woman all about (the rapist/therapist one), and those glasses?!


the glasses means shes a secretary type..ergo sexy..fake french accent ..ergo mock the stupid and sexy foreigner ...hilarious rape joke thrown in to round it off . Pretty much touched all the bases there .

i see next week theres a blacked up minstrel in a cartoon Scotsman outfit repeatedly sexually assaulting a woman on the tube as part of a prime time family viewing song and dance act . Will be watching that one through my fingers.
 
Used to love the Benny Hill show when I were a lad,find him about as funny as a very hard kick in the bollocks now......
 
Didn't watch the programme because I remember the '70s all too well, and on the whole it was shit*.

Generally there was bugger all on TV and the sodding test card on the other side, as there was only 2/3 channels.

One of my mothers fav programmes was the 'Black and White Minstral Show' - hope they didn't show that rascist rubbish again.

* except David Bowie, Roxy Music, the sunshine in '76 and punk.
 
...there was a highly entertaining one of those retropective shows that covered all the tv advertising.....despite the social attitudes on display the 70's to me was all about food from packets...that was the future...there was no greather treat for me than being fed dried reconstituted Cadbury's mashed potato with my bangers - basically non-adhesive wall-paper paste, advertised to death as if it was the ultimate consumer product....there was also this stuff called Rise & Shine that was dried orange juice powder that you added water to..... tasted lovely, just nothing like real orange juice...
 
I was watching it with my freind who's from belgium, but didn't move over until the mid 90's.

Of course I was born in the early 80's and we had repeats of stuff on tele etc, but she'd never seen that side of british tele before (especially that advertising, and she works in advertising)..... her face was a treat through that whole programme.
 
I was born in the early 70s, and the only thing I can remember from that decade is Chorlton and the Wheelies. I fucking loved that.
 
The 70s was the best decade for TV: Trumpton, The Magic Roundabout, Mr Benn, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Roobarb, Bagpuss, The Flumps, Bod, Wacky Races, The Banana Splits, Pipkins, The Jetsons, The Muppet Show, Battle of the Planets...

And can you even win a speedboat on anything nowadays?
 
...Nationwide was a seriously bloody good programme...left a huge hole in the schedules thats been filled with total garbage ever since....( never forgiven them for murdering that show )
 
i watched a Benny Hill sketch on youtube the other day to remind myself - the sketch has him with a nagging wife at the start - then after he cheats on her he buys her a jumper - shes delighted, puts it on, turns out the jumper has a target on it so he pulls out a gun and shoots her. dead. I kid you not.
