Welcome back to My 70's TV Childhood Quiz, where we test your memories of what was on the box during that memorable decade!
🎉 SPECIAL MILESTONE EPISODE! 🎉
Today we're celebrating our 50th quiz episode! It's been fifty episodes since we responded to your calls for more content by introducing our fortnightly quiz, and we're delighted that many of you have been playing along for quite some time. Well done with your stamina!
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 always just been a bit of fun, but we've been very impressed by how competitive some of you are, particularly those who play with their other halves or close friends where the ultimate prize is a fortnight of bragging rights!
Here's what we've got lined up for you:
📺 Round One: 50 Shades of Grey Hair! It's not a thrilling trip into the dark world of sadomasochism but a look back at what was on TV fifty years ago! All our questions relate to programmes on UK TV on 12th August 1975. Can you remember The Galloping Gourmet and Elephant Boy?
📺 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. From Bryan Murphy's spinoffs to Basil Brush and David Soul's chart success!
📺 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. 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 Wacky Races to Coronation Street!
And of course, we have our Bonus Question for this week: On what date was our first ever quiz episode released to a waiting world? And no googling please!
Are you hitting the heights and can't wait for the next fifty editions of our quiz or is your score so shameful that you are considering never playing again? Or are you somewhere in between?
Whichever, thank you for joining in with our quiz. And a special thanks for all of you who have joined all fifty of our quizzes; we're so glad you have and hope you continue to listen in every fortnight.
Here's to the next 50 editions of the quiz!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
