Hello and welcome back once again to the podcast world’s favourite quiz based on the award-shortlisted podcast My 70’s TV Childhood. Just because it’s the only one based on the podcast doesn’t make a difference, as I know how much you all enjoy playing along at home either on your own or with family and friends.
This week’s quiz follows the usual format: 20 questions over four rounds, with a point for each correct answer. So grab a pen and paper, settle down with your favourite beverage, and get ready to play. This week, I’m sipping a Pina Colada made with fresh coconut milk—OK, I’m not really, I’ve got a cup of tea as usual.
Our first round is called “Born on the Fourth of July.” As this episode is due to be released soon after American Independence Day, I’m going to ask you about five actors or actresses who were born on the 4th of July, and what I need you to tell me is what year they were born. Let’s get started.
Then we have our Marathon or Fil Rouge round, where I ask you questions based on subjects that we have covered in our previous podcasts. If you haven’t listened to them all, and I don’t blame you if you haven’t, given we’ve recorded over one hundred episodes, then don’t worry, you should be able to have a guess at most of the questions.
In the third round, it’s the Name That Tune round, where we use our specially constructed wheel of fate to choose a year from the 1970s, which I will then input into our AI-powered theme tune generator. It will select five signature tunes of TV shows first screened in the UK in that year. And this week, it’s 1977.
And finally, this is our general trivia round called TV Times.
How have you got on? Are you sitting on a large majority or have you lost your deposit? Whichever way, I hope you’ve enjoyed this time’s quiz.
Join us again next week for our next podcast and in a fortnight for our next quiz. I look forward to seeing you again soon for more from My 70’s TV Childhood and the My 70’s TV Childhood Quiz!
Take care,
Oliver
