Welcome back to My 70s TV Childhood Quiz, where I test your knowledge of 70s television trivia!
We're up to Quiz #41 now, meaning you've tackled over 820 questions from the golden age of British TV. Some of you thought last time’s questions were a bit tough, but with scores still creeping into the high teens, I think we’re striking the right balance between fun and challenge!
This week, Round One is all about Jimmy Perry – Dad’s Army and… It’s a Yes or No round where I name a series and you decide if Jimmy Perry was one of the writers. A 50/50 chance on each one—easy? We’ll see!
Round Two: Marathon/Fil Rouge These questions are drawn from past episodes of the podcast, so if you’re a long-time listener, you might just have an edge. A real treat for the loyal among you!
Round Three: Name That Tune – 1971 Edition Spin the wheel and get your ears ready! Can you identify these five classic TV theme tunes from shows that first aired in 1971?
Round Four: TV Times A general knowledge round for true telly buffs—covering all sorts from cartoon competitions to forgotten sitcoms and iconic detective shows.
Bonus Question: On 7th June 1971, the Blue Peter team buried something in the garden. What was it?
(You’ll get the point if you name the item or even the occasion!)
How Did You Do? Did you fly through the Jimmy Perry round? Were the theme tunes familiar friends or forgotten relics? I’d love to hear how you got on—share your score, your memories, or just say hello!
