Welcome back, telly addicts, to another brain-teasing edition of the My 70s TV Childhood Quiz! Whether you're a loyal follower who never misses an episode or you've just stumbled upon this nostalgic treasure trove, I'm thrilled to have you join me for this journey back to the golden age of British television.

In this 39th installment, I've crafted 20 carefully curated questions across four entertaining rounds guaranteed to transport you straight back to those cherished evenings spent with the family and in front of the box!

Round One: "Quiz Inquisitors"
Sharpen your pencils for this opening salvo focused on the quiz and game shows that dominated 70s screens, with special attention to those unforgettable hosts who became household names.

Round Two: The Marathon/Fil Rouge Round
My recurring round (named with a nod to the legendary "It's a Knockout") explores the podcast itself and shows I've dissected in previous episodes. Haven't listened to every episode yet? (And honestly, why haven't you?) Fear not—educated guesses are encouraged and often rewarded!

Round Three: "Name That Tune" and "Spin the Wheel" Mashup
The wheel of fate has spoken and landed on 1972! This musical challenge tests whether you can identify five iconic theme tunes from shows that made their UK television debut in that pivotal year. One tune in particular should be unmistakable to any true fan of this podcast!

Round Four: TV Times
We wrap up with a whirlwind tour through general 70s TV trivia—from beloved characters and catchphrases to behind-the-scenes tidbits that only true aficionados might recall. The perfect chance to clinch victory if you're playing competitively!

This week's Bonus Question: In January 1978, ITV screened its first ever "An Audience with..." show. Who was the original host of this now-legendary format? Think you know the answer? Drop me a line at quiz@my70stvchildhood.com with your brilliant deduction!

Were you scoring like a champion or struggling to recall those once-familiar faces and shows? Either way, I'd love to hear your score and which questions instantly transported you back to your childhood living room. Share your results and memories via email or on any of my social platforms below.

A detective series with a supernatural twist! Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) was a uniquely British concoction blending hard-boiled detective drama with supernatural elements and wrapped it all in that quintessentially British humour. From the gritty streets of late-60s London to the ethereal realms beyond, I explore how this show captivated a generation despite not being aimed at children like me at all!

Mike Pratt brought world-weary charm to Jeff Randall, a man perpetually trying to maintain his sanity while conversing with a ghost only he could see. Meanwhile, Kenneth Cope's Marty Hopkirk—forever dressed in that immaculate white suit—balanced earnestness with comic frustration at his ghostly limitations. Their chemistry was nothing short of otherworldly.

There is the fascinating background of creator Dennis Spooner and the show's production by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment, known for its high production values and distinctive visual style. Mike Pratt's surprising musical career (did you know he co-wrote the theme to "A Handful of Songs" with Lionel Bart?).

From standout episodes like "My Late Lamented Friend and Partner" to how this one-season wonder managed to balance macabre elements with genuine emotional depth, Why these 26 episodes left such an indelible mark on British television history?

What's your most vivid memory of this supernatural sleuthing duo? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this perfect time capsule of late 60s/early 70s British creativity!

Take care,

Oliver

So grab a pen, a notepad, maybe even a friend, and let’s see how well you remember the classics!

This week, we had four exciting rounds, covering everything from beloved cartoons to classic British TV moments.

The first round took us on a mystery-filled adventure with Scooby, Shaggy, and the gang! From the number of episodes produced to the name of Velma’s family, this was a round for true fans of the show. And of course, who could forget their iconic van?

Round Two – Marathon / Fil Rouge

This round tested how closely you’ve been paying attention to previous episodes of the podcast! We revisited The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, The New Avengers, and even Bod—but could you remember the name of the friendly policeman?

Round Three – Name That Tune (1971 Edition!)

One of our most popular rounds! This week, we spun the wheel and landed on 1971—a fantastic year for British television. Did you manage to name all five theme tunes?

Round Four – TV Times

The final round challenged your general 1970s TV knowledge, from Blue Peter to It’s a Knockout and Crossroads. We even threw in a tricky question about The Herbs!
