Listen Later

Welcome to this milestone 100th episode of My 70’s TV Childhood! Since our debut in September 2020, we've journeyed through the nostalgic realm of 1970s British television, reminiscing about the shows that shaped our memories and cultural experiences.

In this celebratory episode, we reflect on the remarkable journey from our first release amidst a global pandemic to today. Despite the challenges of lockdowns, our podcast has provided a delightful escape into the cherished television of yesteryears.

Today, we delve into the iconic world of "Record Breakers." Hosted by the legendary Roy Castle, this beloved show captured the imagination of children across Britain in the 1970s. From historical records to contemporary achievements, "Record Breakers" showcased a dazzling array of extraordinary feats, all adjudicated with meticulous precision by the McWhirter brothers.

Roy Castle's infectious enthusiasm and affable persona endeared him to generations of viewers. His own record-breaking exploits, including the world's fastest tap dance, exemplified the spirit of determination celebrated on the show.

As we commemorate this milestone, we reflect on Roy Castle's enduring legacy and the profound impact of "Record Breakers" on British television. While our podcast may not set records in the traditional sense, the warmth and nostalgia it evokes resonate deeply with our listeners.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated audience for their unwavering support. Join us next week for our quiz and in a fortnight for the next instalment of My 70’s TV Childhood.

Until then, remember that dedication is all you need!

Take care

Oliver
