  • Great show and memories

    Thank you for all the great memories that you have brought back to me, coming home from primary to watch Pipkins and watching Picture at school! Have you done a show specifically about schools programs, you probably have but my recent memories are not as clear as the childhood one! Robert Vine

  • Excellent podcast

    Oliver leads us on our weekly throwback to 70’s childhood with humour and insight.

    It’s an excellent podcast not just highlighting some of some of the finer points of 1970’s TV but also bringing them into context with other events taking place at the time. A nice piece of escapism to what we remember as more relaxed times.
