Welcome to the first episode of Season 6 of My 70s TV Childhood! I’m Oliver Colling, and I’m delighted to kick off 2025 with a brand-new quiz episode to blow away the Christmas cobwebs.

If you’re new to the podcast, a warm welcome to you! My 70s TV Childhood is a podcast dedicated to celebrating what it was like to grow up in Britain during the 1970s—a time when television was the heart of family life. For our regular listeners, thank you for your continued support, especially those who’ve been with us since the beginning in 2020. Your loyalty and enthusiasm mean the world to us.

This week, we’re diving into four exciting rounds of TV trivia, including:

• Bay City Rollers: A deep dive into Starsky and Hutch trivia (with no tartan involved!).
• Marathon - Fil Rouge: Revisiting iconic moments from past podcast episodes.
• Name That Tune - Ending 1970: Can you guess the shows based on their theme tunes?
• TV Times: Anything goes in this general trivia round.

And of course, we have our Bonus Question:
"In 1976, the BBC launched Multi-Coloured Swap Shop on Saturday mornings. What was the telephone number for Swap Shop from series two onwards for the rest of its run?"

Thank you to everyone who’s been in touch—your messages, memories, and feedback are what make this podcast so special. A special shoutout to Writer in the North on Twitter for your lovely Christmas greeting—good luck in this week’s quiz!

So grab a cup of tea (as we are all on the dry!), settle in, and join me as we take a nostalgic journey through 70s TV trivia. Whether you’re here to top your quiz record or just enjoy the memories, I hope you find this week’s quiz both fun and memorable.

What’s your favorite memory of Starsky and Hutch? Did the Swap Shop phone number pop into your head instantly? Let us know—your stories mean the world to us.

From me and all the elves at My 70s TV Childhood Towers, Happy New Year! Here’s to a fantastic 2025 filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of 70s TV magic.

Take care
Oliver
