It Was Alright in the 1970's

[TomandJerry]

Channel 4 at 8pm, episode one of six

Should be good to watch, not sure what to expect though,

Anyone else watching?

Expect the same as series 1

9pm not 8.

Not watching yet - hasn't started!

Quite enjoyed the first series. Mostly ignored the "celebs" oohing and aahhing at the clips with outrage. In fairness, a lot of it was out of order with modern sensibilities. There isn't much to be gained by tutting at it though but it is quite enjoyable to watch in a car crash kind of way. And some of it is quite harmless. I'm not sexist but love Carry On and On The Buses. And I haven't grown up to be racist but probably giggled at Jim Davidson's Chalky as a kid.

I was however a bit disappointed at Derek Griffiths being shown a clips of him singing Melting Pot and doing slitty eyes when singing about a Chinky. He couldn't see a problem even in retrospect. One of my childhood heroes.

Shouldn't you drop Tomand for Mungo?

It's Autumn now. He should have done it In The Summertime.

certainly was only the IRA to worry about

Whatever happened to that game where they had to hold Connect 4, Mastermind, Cluedo and a shed load of cabbages?

 

[Guerrero]

I still live in the 70's.
It was better.

Watched it. Very funny but a little cringe worthy. Watched Kate Bush at the BBC after. Is she the most sensual (sexy sounds wrong for her) women of that time? She pisses on Debbie Harry, Suzie Quatro and Sally James (or is that just me?)

I wonder if they'll have an item on 70s bush in any of the episodes. Had a brief glimpse of one in last night's......which was nice.

One of my childhood heroes too although I'm not sure why. Only remember him on 'heads and tails'. What else did he do? Used to love him though.

Damn, missed that bit. Have always dreamt of that happening! Surprised they showed it. Did they actually show Kate's Bush?

It was acceptable in the 80's

You mean Double Or Drop on Cracker Jack with Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze.
