The REAL 1970s: "I Know What I Like And I Like What I Know..."
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-know-what-i-like-and-i-like-what-i.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. I Know What I Like And I Like What I Know.". I know what I like and I like what I know.". Was that phrase originally coined by Genesis on their 1973 album. Selling England By The Pound. My old Uncle Ern used to come out with it on a regular basis way before the '70s to defend his "stick-in-the-mud" ways to my go-ahead Auntie Vera and soap characters like Amos Brearly in. Not exactly a pop person) were sometimes heard to utter it. Why has this come up? October 19, 1974. This is one...

Monday, February 25, 2008. 1970s Food: Bread 'N' Dripping, Cereal Sausages, White Bread and Meaty Margarine. Michael Barratt, BBC "Nationwide" presenter from 1969 to 1977, wonders how youngsters will survive without dripping in his "Weekly News" column, October 1974. What did we eat in the '70s? Well, me and my very working class family tucked into such delicious delights as white bread, crispy pancakes, and cereal sausages. Other treats included savoury pancakes. These really were. Children of the '80s ...

The REAL 1970s: The '70s - The Golden Age Of TV? I Think Not...
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2009/09/70s-golden-age-of-tv-i-think-not.html
Tuesday, September 01, 2009. The '70s - The Golden Age Of TV? I find it fascinating that the 1970s are so widely vaunted as "The Golden Age Of Television". Can somebody please explain? For instance, the BBC's "I Love The 1970s" site places Monty Python. It began in 1969. Ah," say '70s fans," but it was at its height in the early '70s! Oh, I see. Not The Nine O'Clock News. Was "at its height", and indeed had the line-up we all remember, in the early 1980s. Ah," say '70s fans, "But it BEGAN in 1979.".

The REAL 1970s: Pan's People
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2008/01/pans-people.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Pan's People - did they borrow those hats from "Upstairs, Downstairs"? Phwoar" was the barely suppressed word on my stepfather's lips whenever Pan's People flitted across our TV screen. He never actually. The word because my mother's gimlet eyes would be fixed on him. Don't get me wrong, Pan's People weren't. Indecently dressed", but they. Enough of the time for my mum's exclamation "Look at that! They might as well be naked! To be etched on my memory. Top Of The Pops. The mi...

The REAL 1970s: I Like 'Lectric Motors
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-like-lectric-motors.html
Saturday, June 30, 2012. I Like 'Lectric Motors. Loved this. Late 1979, kind of cusping 1980. At this point, we were all wondering what the 1980s were going to be like and eagerly looking out for clues to emerging trends. This wasn't quite how the '80s were to be, but I think it's brilliant, although it had no commercial success and was tucked away on John Peel. I never saw the promo. Love the retro elements (especially those '60s style babes! But then it was. Patrick D. Martin, I salute you! It's the de...

Saturday, August 22, 2009. Views Of The '70s Part 2 - Klackers, Racism, The Cambridge Rapist, Frisbees, Digital Watches And Maxi Skirts. No videos of TV series, but books based on them instead - Upstairs Downstairs, the '70s answer to the '60s Forsyte Saga, was hugely popular both on TV and in book form. In the second part of our "Views Of The '70s" series, Christine, who is now fifty-one, looks at life in the decade for a young working class woman. A time of dazzling new technology, that was the '80s.

The REAL 1970s: Happy Days - Back To The 50s - America Went Retro, Too!
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2008/09/happy-days-back-to-50s-america-went.html
Monday, September 15, 2008. Happy Days - Back To The 50s - America Went Retro, Too! A 1977 UK Happy Days novel. So, as the '70s flopped, overshadowed by the '60s, pummelled by financial angst, anger and violence, the UK was not the only nation to seek refuge in the 1950s. Yep, the USA was well and truly in there - putting out. From 1974 until 1984. And of course those glorious. But now we had the American angle and we found Fonzie just so. The absolute star of. Which did not seem terribly. Now, when I he...

The REAL 1970s: You're Only Young Twice - The Adventures of Flora, Cissie, Mildred, Dolly, Katy, Miss Milton, Finchy and Roger
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2014/06/youre-only-young-twice.html
Monday, June 02, 2014. You're Only Young Twice - The Adventures of Flora, Cissie, Mildred, Dolly, Katy, Miss Milton, Finchy and Roger. A scene from the opening titles of "You're Only Young Twice" - Flora Petty enjoyed her "True Romances" in the Residents' Lounge at Paradise Lodge, collected elephant ornaments, and often wreaked havoc from September 1977 to August 1981. I had an interesting e-mail last week:. Was the ITV sitcom You're Only Young Twice anything like Waiting For God? You're Only Young Twice.

http://real70s.blogspot.com/2011/07/ring-on-their-fingers-and-anthony.html
Sunday, July 03, 2011. Rings On their Fingers - And Anthony Hayward - Not An Overwhelming Hit. Diane Keen as Sandy and Martin Jarvis as Oliver in "Rings On Their Fingers". Were there special circumstances surrounding its success? I've just read this by TV writer Anthony Hayward, regarding the sitcom "Rings On Their Fingers", starring Diane Keen and Martin Jarvis:. Twenty-one million was a HUGE audience, even back then and I don't recall "Rings" being that big a deal. What goes on? And stay tuned to The R...

The REAL 1970s: 1972 - Donny Osmond: "Help Me, Help Me Please!"
http://real70s.blogspot.com/2009/03/1972-donny-osmond-help-me-help-me.html
Wednesday, March 04, 2009. 1972 - Donny Osmond: "Help Me, Help Me Please! Someone help me, help me, please! Was the impassioned plea from Donny Osmond in his teenybopper hit. And that just about summed up my feelings whenever I heard it. The worst times were rainy Sunday afternoons, when I sat in my older cousin Sue's bedroom and was. To listen to this drivel, which she played on her Mum's '60s box record player. Over and over again. November 14, 1972:. The truants began arriving before dawn, and when Th...
