The Quiz # 46

Welcome back to My 70's TV Childhood Quiz, where we test your memories of what was on the box during that memorable decade!

This quiz is an offshoot of the My 70's TV Childhood podcast, which looks back fondly on what it was like to grow up as a child in 1970's Britain and the important role that television played in our lives back then. If you haven't listened, I really recommend you do.

As always, we have 20 questions over 4 rounds. It's just for fun, and the quizmaster's answer is the final one! So settle down with a pen and paper and your favourite beverage!

Here's what we've got lined up for you:

📺 Round One: Animal Crackers! This round focuses on those beloved animal stars of 70s television. From Johnny Morris's ring-tailed lemur on "Animal Magic" to Rigsby's cat in "Rising Damp," how well do you remember these famous TV creatures?

📺 Round Two: Marathon/Fil Rouge! Questions related to topics and personalities we've featured in previous episodes of the My 70's TV Childhood podcast. We'll be testing your memory on "Survivors," "Andy Pandy," "Basil Brush," "Going for a Song," and "How!"

📺 Round Three: Name That Tune & Spin the Wheel! Our specially constructed wheel of fate has landed on... 1972! Our AI-powered theme tune generator has selected five theme tunes from TV shows first shown in the UK that year, including "The Protectors" and "John Craven's Newsround." Get your ears ready!

📺 Round Four: TV Times! Anything goes in this round, questions about various 70s television shows, personalities, and notable programming from the era, from Coronation Street's Ernie Bishop to "Stars on Sunday."

And of course, we have our Bonus Question for this week: The US TV show HR Pufnstuf was very odd in my opinion and parts of it may well have been inspired by illicit substances but it is a show many listeners remember. What type of creature was HR Pufnstuf and, for a bonus point on our bonus question, what official title did he have?

Are you bouncing off the ceiling with joy or flat on your face with misery? Whichever, I hope you've enjoyed it. Share your results on social media, comment on our blog, or send me an email to let me know.
