Welcome back to My 70's TV Childhood Quiz, where we test your memories of what was on the box during that memorable decade!

This quiz is an offshoot of the My 70's TV Childhood podcast, which looks back fondly on what it was like to grow up as a child in 1970's Britain and the important role that television played in our lives back then. If you haven't listened, I really recommend you do.

As always, we have 20 questions over 4 rounds. It's just for fun, and the quizmaster's answer is the final one! So settle down with a pen and paper and your favourite beverage!

Here's what we've got lined up for you:

📺 Round One: A Land Down Under! In honour of the British and Irish Lions rugby tour to Australia, this round is all about Australian TV shows that were shown in the UK during the 1970s. From The Young Doctors to The Sullivans, can you remember these Aussie imports?

📺 Round Two: Marathon/Fil Rouge! Questions related to topics and personalities we've featured in previous episodes of the My 70's TV Childhood podcast. Let's see how good your memory is about our past discussions, from Tomorrow's World to Hector's House!

📺 Round Three: Name That Tune & Spin the Wheel! Our specially constructed wheel of fate has landed on... 1971! Our AI-powered theme tune generator has selected five theme tunes from TV shows first shown in the UK that year. Get your ears ready!

📺 Round Four: TV Times! Anything goes in this round – questions about various 70s television shows, personalities, and notable programming from the era. From Trumpton's Fire Brigade to The Muppet Show!

And of course, we have our Bonus Question for this week: It's about the popular US super-soap Dallas. J.R. and Bobby Ewing's brother Gary left Dallas to live in California with his wife Val, which led to a spin-off series. What was the name of that spin-off series?

Are you celebrating like J.R. Ewing – or has your well run dry?

Either way, I hope you enjoyed playing along. We’ll be back next week with a new episode of the regular podcast – and again in a fortnight with another quiz.
