Hello, and welcome back to The My 70’s TV Childhood Quiz! This week, I’m bringing you 20 brand new questions across four rounds, all celebrating 1970s television.

In Round One, titled “Variety Pack,” we’ll dive into questions about the Royal Variety Performance, a huge TV event in the 1970s that entertained millions of viewers across the UK.

Next is our “Marathon or Fil Rouge” round, where we look back at topics we’ve covered in previous episodes of the podcast. If you’re a long-time listener, this round should feel like home turf.

Then we’re spinning the wheel again for our famous “Name That Tune” round, where our AI-powered theme tune generator will take us back to TV shows that ended in 1979. I’ll play five theme tunes, and you’ll see how many you can guess!

Finally, we’ve got “TV Times,” a general trivia round with questions covering anything and everything about 1970s television.

Bonus Question: In 2012, the BBC’s Ceefax teletext service was decommissioned. In what month and year did it go live on BBC television? Send your answers to [email protected].

Last Week’s Bonus Question: What was the name of the Dennis Potter play pulled from broadcast in 1976 and shown for the first time in 1987? The answer is: Brimstone and Treacle.

Thank you for joining me for another quiz! Whether you aced it or found it tricky, I hope you’ve enjoyed testing your knowledge of 1970s TV. Don’t forget to like, rate, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!

Take care,
Oliver
