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.

Exciting News! We are now live on Instagram! Oliver's been practicing his pouting and posing, and you can now find our content on yet another social media site. If you're on Insta, as the kids call it, do take a look as our content builds up.

Quick Correction: Thanks to Sally, Ange, John and many others for pointing out that The Goodies had their top ten hit with "Funky Gibbon" in 1975 rather than 1974. Apologies for the confusion - if you said 1975, please have another point!

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: Making a Muppet Out of You! A simple concept - we give you the name of a Muppet character and you tell us whether they were in Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, or both. For example, Kermit the Frog was in both!

📺 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. With over 170 episodes in our back catalogue, there's lots to choose from!

📺 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 on UK television 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 ITV strikes to boxing matches!

And of course, we have our Bonus Question for this week: Excluding the pilot, how many episodes of "The Sweeney" were produced? (You can have three either way!)

So how did you get on? Are you going to have trouble getting through the door as your head is so big after a great score or are you burying your head under the covers in shame?

Whichever, we do hope you have enjoyed playing and if you have, then why not tell your friends? We'd love them to join us. And if you could take the time to like, rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts, we'd be eternally grateful.
