Hello again and welcome back to My 70’s TV Childhood, where we relive the joys of growing up in 1970s Britain and the pivotal role of TV in our lives. Today, I'm recording on a nostalgic Sunday afternoon, reminiscent of the simpler, unhurried Sundays of my childhood. Sundays back then were distinct, marked by family time and the comforting routine of church and hearty Sunday lunches.
I fondly recall the anticipation for Sunday roast, a quintessential British tradition, and the leisurely afternoons spent in front of the television. The TV shows of the era, especially American imports like 'Fantasy Island' and 'The Love Boat,' stand out in my memory. These shows, with their exotic locales and captivating stories, were a stark contrast to my life in Warrington, offering a window to a world of adventure and glamour.
As we journey through this episode, I'm eager to hear from you about your own Sunday traditions and TV favourites from the 70s. Did you have a special Sunday routine? What shows captured your imagination?
