00:00:00Hello, I'm Sally Lindsay and I've got the whole gang round and tonight it's the 70s!
00:00:20Welcome to the show. Yes, tonight we'll be diving deep into the 70s.
00:00:25The decade of drinking eight pints of mild, then driving home in your Austin Allegro,
00:00:30while whistling the tune to Puppy Love.
00:00:33So, pour yourself a creme de menthe and let's get started.
00:00:40Right, let's meet our teams. With actor, comedian and comedy historian John Thompson,
00:00:45we have actor and presenter Matthew Kelly and the fabulous Sally James.
00:00:51And with comedian, author and child of the 70s Shappi Kasandi,
00:00:55we have actor and writer Steve Edge and the legend of stage and screen Sue Pollard!
00:01:01Thank you!
00:01:08Welcome to the 70s. Now, I've got a lovely photo of the 70s version of you, my darling John.
00:01:13Let's have a look.
00:01:15That's me and my brother Ben.
00:01:17That bowl coat looks familiar.
00:01:19Yes.
00:01:20I had a very similar haircut, actually.
00:01:23That's me on the right, by the way.
00:01:25Did your mum put the pudding basin on?
00:01:27Yeah.
00:01:28My mum's actual hairdresser, so I don't know what went on there.
00:01:30Oh dear.
00:01:32Sally, we all remember you from Tiswas, of course.
00:01:35And how fantastic was that?
00:01:37It was insane.
00:01:38Great, great fun.
00:01:39Yeah, silly way to earn a living, but great fun.
00:01:41That actually is a picture of me with Adam West.
00:01:44Who was, of course, Batman.
00:01:45And he turned up when I was doing the show I did before Tiswas,
00:01:48which was called Saturday Scene.
00:01:49Yeah.
00:01:50And we did a whole big photo shoot at the old London Weekend Studios.
00:01:54And he turned up and he said,
00:01:55right, I think you should dress as Robin.
00:01:57And he just called me Robin the entire time.
00:02:00And he never broke out of character.
00:02:01And he was just such, such fun.
00:02:03It was great memories.
00:02:04Royalty, isn't it?
00:02:05I know.
00:02:06Yeah.
00:02:07Matthew.
00:02:08Yes, love.
00:02:09Now, what were you doing in the 70s, apart from looking very, very swish?
00:02:12Ooh.
00:02:13Very swish.
00:02:14Whoa.
00:02:15Drack it, eh?
00:02:16Now, we can have a look.
00:02:18It's a very youthful version of you, Matthew.
00:02:20Very enthusiastically investigating a potential murder.
00:02:23Here we go.
00:02:24What is it?
00:02:25Well, I was thinking, if they're leaving for a cruise early tomorrow,
00:02:29why did they have that huge trunk sent up to the room?
00:02:32How do I know?
00:02:33Perhaps he wants a change of underwear.
00:02:35Yes, but he's already got two suitcases up there.
00:02:38Look, Dick.
00:02:39Do me a favour.
00:02:41Don't bother me.
00:02:43Oh, my God.
00:02:46Oh, my God.
00:02:49There you are.
00:02:50Give him my dick in.
00:02:52Ah, ah, ah!
00:02:53The covent sitcom called Room Service, which was the precursor to Heidi High,
00:02:59it was written by Jimmy Perry.
00:03:01Did you know this, Sue?
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:03It was written by Jimmy Perry and Raymond Allen, who wrote Some Others Do Have Them.
00:03:08Really?
00:03:09And we did seven episodes, we got cancelled.
00:03:11Oh.
00:03:12Oh.
00:03:13Chappie?
00:03:14How are the seventies for you?
00:03:15Well, um...
00:03:16Oh, there I am.
00:03:17Oh, there I am.
00:03:18Beautiful.
00:03:19A lot of hair.
00:03:20Lots of hair.
00:03:21None of that is wall.
00:03:22The entirety of that rectangle is my hair.
00:03:25Sue, what were you doing in the seventies, love?
00:03:28Misbehaving.
00:03:29Of course you were.
00:03:30What were you doing, Sue?
00:03:31It was Opportunity Knox.
00:03:33Got beat by a singing dog.
00:03:35Harold Gumm and his singing dog.
00:03:40Oklahoma, that was it.
00:03:43Oh, what a beautiful mind.
00:03:46And the dog went, oh!
00:03:48And that was the duet.
00:03:50And honest to God, this is absolutely true.
00:03:53This cameraman said, that dog only whined because he put his finger up the dog's bum.
00:03:58LAUGHTER
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:01So that was...
00:04:02That was my first foray.
00:04:04The seventies, eh?
00:04:05Steve.
00:04:06Oh, there I am.
00:04:07Oh, I look like a foundling, don't I?
00:04:09What's your earliest memory?
00:04:11I was a milk monitor at school.
00:04:12Oh.
00:04:13I must have been about six or seven.
00:04:151977, I'd say.
00:04:1676.
00:04:17Yeah.
00:04:18Mrs Haslam, the teacher, said, we won't be having milk any more because of a lady called Margaret Thatcher.
00:04:23Oh.
00:04:24I remember them.
00:04:25I remember thinking, wrongen.
00:04:27LAUGHTER
00:04:28And what they called her?
00:04:29Thatcher, Thatcher, the milk.
00:04:30Maggie Thatcher, the milk Snatcher, yeah.
00:04:31They called it other things too.
00:04:32Yes, they did.
00:04:33Yeah.
00:04:34Anyway, enough of that.
00:04:35This is supposed to be a quiz, so I'll best ask some questions.
00:04:38We know what you guys were doing in the seventies, but what was everybody else doing?
00:04:42Handily, our first round is precisely about that.
00:04:45We're against the clock.
00:04:47This first question is for your team, Shappie Love.
00:04:49OK.
00:04:50Right.
00:04:51What was the UK's best-selling car of the 1970s?
00:04:55Come on, you know this.
00:04:57What about the Robin Reliant, then?
00:04:59You're talking...
00:05:00That was just Del Boy.
00:05:01That was just Del Boy.
00:05:02Nobody really had one.
00:05:04OK.
00:05:05I reckon it's...
00:05:06You guys, I'm really sorry, but it's meant to be quick fire.
00:05:08Oh, OK.
00:05:09Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:05:10What was the one that wasn't a...
00:05:11Was it Ford Capri?
00:05:12All right, don't worry.
00:05:13You bang on, love.
00:05:14Should we go...
00:05:15It's either Ford Capri or Ford Cortina?
00:05:17Which one?
00:05:18Oh, John.
00:05:19What...
00:05:20Sorry.
00:05:21John's on our side.
00:05:22Cortina.
00:05:23Yes, it was before Cortina!
00:05:24Yes!
00:05:25OK.
00:05:26John's team.
00:05:27In one of the sporting stories of the decade, tennis icon, Billie Jean King, won the now
00:05:32legendary tennis match known as the Battle of the Sexes.
00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:36But can you remember who she defeated?
00:05:38Come on, John, you know this.
00:05:39Dr. Richard.
00:05:40Dr. Richard.
00:05:41Sing.
00:05:42Who?
00:05:43Five seconds.
00:05:44Elia Nostalzi.
00:05:45No, I'm afraid it's not Shaffi's team.
00:05:47I thought it was Bobby somebody, because it made a film of that afterwards in the 90s.
00:05:52Come on, Sue, you're nearly there.
00:05:53Oh, what was his flippin' name?
00:05:54Bobby Davran.
00:05:55No, I'm just...
00:05:56Bobby Davran.
00:05:57Bobby Davran.
00:05:58Yes, it was Bobby Davran.
00:05:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:00No, can I just have half a point, miss?
00:06:02Yes, you can.
00:06:03So, Bobby?
00:06:04Just because you sue Pollard.
00:06:05Oh, thank you.
00:06:06I didn't have anything you want, love.
00:06:07It's...
00:06:08It was Bobby Riggs.
00:06:09Bobby Riggs.
00:06:10There we are.
00:06:11Bobby Riggs.
00:06:12Shaffi's team, this is for you.
00:06:14What huge 70s news story is this person on about?
00:06:18It's wonderful.
00:06:19Absolute super.
00:06:20Something I'd always dreamed about and never thought I'd do it at the age of 75 and I'm
00:06:25jolly proud to be British and feel we and the French have done it.
00:06:28I can't say more.
00:06:29It's...
00:06:30I can see nothing wrong with it.
00:06:31If that's not Concord, I don't know what.
00:06:33It's either Concord or he's just discovered something wonderful.
00:06:37Or penicillin.
00:06:38Or penicillin.
00:06:39Or penicillin.
00:06:40Or something.
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:42Should we go?
00:06:43Yeah, we're going to go with what I just said.
00:06:44Concord.
00:06:45Concord.
00:06:46Yes.
00:06:47Excellent.
00:06:48Oh, well done, girl.
00:06:49Excellent.
00:06:50I remember the penicillin.
00:06:51They were on about the first commercial Concord flight in 1976.
00:06:55John's team.
00:06:56Why did the BBC film actor Derek Nimmo visiting a shop in the King's Road in 1977?
00:07:05I know exactly what this is.
00:07:06Go on.
00:07:07All good.
00:07:08It's part of a That's Life type segment.
00:07:09Right.
00:07:10So what was he doing?
00:07:11Well, Derek Nimmo sort of always kind of talk like that, you see.
00:07:14He always played Vickers and kind of top of those people.
00:07:17And he goes, today I'm going to be a punk rocker.
00:07:20And they dressed him up as the full punk rocker.
00:07:26And he was going into Vivian Westwood's shop.
00:07:28Well done, John.
00:07:29Well done, Vic.
00:07:31Well, at the end of the questions, which shall we have a quick look at one of the most uncomfortable
00:07:38culture clashes ever recorded?
00:07:40Following your advice, I wandered round the King's Road in Chelsea and found myself in this
00:07:43rather curious little shop in the company of Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, and other
00:07:48thwarted sex pistols.
00:07:50What's actually wrong with what I'm wearing?
00:07:53You made you look so bloody boring.
00:07:55I cannot believe you.
00:07:56I agree with you.
00:07:57The point is to change yourself.
00:07:59But why?
00:08:00Why does one have to change yourself?
00:08:01Because then you'll feel great.
00:08:14I wonder if you kept that outfit for the weekend.
00:08:17OK, teams.
00:08:18Time for a game now.
00:08:19It's the History Mystery Box.
00:08:25So, you've got a box there, John Love.
00:08:26I'd like you to reach inside your box without looking and by the power of touch alone, you
00:08:32need to work out which iconic 70s item is in there and describe it to your teammates.
00:08:37See if they can guess what it is.
00:08:38It's footwear.
00:08:39Oh, is it a platform shoe?
00:08:41Is it a high heel?
00:08:42Is it a football boot?
00:08:43No, it's not.
00:08:44It is a boot and it's a laced boot.
00:08:47Is it a thigh-high boot?
00:08:48Certainly not.
00:08:49Unless you're three foot tall.
00:08:51Is it a laced boot?
00:08:52Is it a laced boot that goes up to your knee?
00:08:53It's not.
00:08:54But here's the big clue.
00:08:55It's a boot with wheels on it.
00:08:56Oh, it's a roller skate.
00:08:57Oh, it's a roller skate.
00:08:58It's a roller skate.
00:08:59It is a roller skate.
00:09:00It's a roller skate.
00:09:01It's a roller skate!
00:09:02Oh, it's a roller skate!
00:09:03It's a roller skate.
00:09:04Do you want to give it to me?
00:09:05It is.
00:09:06Oh, look at that!
00:09:20Who's been to a road disco here?
00:09:21Hands up.
00:09:22I have.
00:09:23Oh, well.
00:09:24We went on a school trip.
00:09:25It was in Wigan, I think.
00:09:26I wasn't allowed to go you know when your teacher fills out your behavior for that thing
00:09:31I remember one day it said very subjudious rabbit has died I don't know what that's got to do because
00:09:37I remember it's heartbroken because my mum went you're right I know your rabbits died but you're
00:09:42on report so you're still not going to the roller disco so the roller discos create images of a dead
00:09:47white rabbit does anyone know which Hollywood star made his first film appearance in the roller
00:09:59disco movie skate town USA no was it Patrick Swayze yes see that was in America which seemed like an
00:10:14impossibly cool place in the 70s should you have a look at the markedly less glamorous but
00:10:19somehow way more impressive British version
00:10:22okay chappy the history mystery box has traveled through time and space and he's now on your desk
00:10:49have a feel and see if you can describe to your team what is in it love okay good you
00:10:54it's always talking yeah do you know what you got talking good you oh very smooth okay definitely
00:11:06don't it was quite small I can fit it in both my hands cup all right shopping it's a family show
00:11:14and then it's got the sort of funny bubbles yeah on it it's quite hard yes I don't think this
00:11:22description's helping it's older it's hard it's small it's um like the sort of thing that you might
00:11:30I think find at a beach and it's got these things that they've stuck on it and I don't know what they
00:11:36are any guesses anything you can hear it right Duffy got to get it out oh it is a pet rock instead of scrolling
00:11:48through social media back in the 70s we were looking after pet rocks well simpler times a 70s
00:11:56Tamagotchi the creator of the pet rock Gary Dahl estimated he sold one and a half million of them
00:12:04one born every minute and the craze made him a millionaire within six months at the end of
00:12:11that round John's team you scored two points and shabby's team you scored two and a half so
00:12:17it's nearly time for the adverts but first a question about a 70s advert Lorraine Chase became
00:12:27famous in the 70s from the Campari adverts but which airport did she famously travel from
00:12:34you'll get the answer after the break
00:12:36welcome back before the break I asked which airport Lorraine Chase had traveled from in the
00:12:55Campari advert now John's team do you get it Birmingham International she was asked were you truly wafted
00:13:02here from paradise and she goes nah Luton Airport yeah it was of course all together let's have a look
00:13:12come back in soda with lemonade with tonic but always with pleasure were you truly wafted
00:13:20here from paradise absolutely brilliant right our next round is about scary stuff the 1970s was a
00:13:32dangerous and scary time health and safety no we never heard of it in the 70s optional seatbelts
00:13:40chip pan fires you could go out playing all day on your own get third-degree burns from a metal slide
00:13:46before heading home where your dad let you have a puff on a nice comforting cigarette to make you feel better
00:13:52oh then with a daisy these questions are all about everyday dangers in the 70s and we're against the clock
00:14:00again so can you speed up this time John's team you're up first okay what small spherical toys were the cause of
00:14:08sprained wrists broken arms and explosive shrapnel injuries click clackers
00:14:14absolutely well done Matthew you feel better now we mentioned clackers oh he was so relieved we're
00:14:26gonna go all through the 70s and no clackers Japanese team this one's for you love which live game show
00:14:31featured contestants either at home or in an isolation booth in the studio guiding a blindfolded
00:14:38cameraman to shoot a crossbow at a second shot right of it fire you're absolutely right now John's
00:14:48team yes why did Scotland Yard write a letter of complaint to the producers of Doctor Who in 1971
00:14:54come on John you know this so the TARDIS which is an acronym for times and relative dimensions in space
00:15:00as at a chameleon circuit in it so when you land on a planet you become something that's like the planet you
00:15:08see but poor old doctor who his chameleon circuits broken so it's always a police box and there were real
00:15:13police boxes around that people kept trying to get into because of a doctor who fans
00:15:17not quite the baddies in the the aliens or whatever dressed as policemen and that's what annoyed them
00:15:27yes you've got it oh there's a story called the terror of the autumn that's the one I was thinking of
00:15:37their hands folded aliens disguised as policemen completely terrifying plasticated blank hide
00:15:43removable faces look at that oh right shabby's team sorry yeah with seemingly no regard whatsoever for
00:15:51health and safety who jumps over 13 buses on a motorbike at Wembley Stadium in 1975 you got it evil
00:16:00Knievel oh we all fancied in we all fancied a bit of Knievel technically in grammar the K will

00:16:14Neville John's team now what was the name of the cat in meowed safety advice not little boy companion
00:16:24come on we know this Charlie Charlie and it was famously voiced by I didn't know this either I know
00:16:34this it's Kenny Everett you're right what happened to the blue Peter studio in 1971 the elephant wet it
00:16:46the elephant wet wet himself on the floor and the keeper oh no we did more than that and then the keeper

00:17:00I'm done now I'm done obviously I don't leave it on your deathbed John I'm throwing it over to you John's team
00:17:07was it the Italian sunken garden was vandalized no the whole studio nearly caught fire when a brownie
00:17:16campfire yeah out of control now ding ding ding now that's the end of the questions shall we have a
00:17:23look at some brownies gallantly trying to get to the end of their song while edging nervously away from
00:17:29the burning flames
00:17:30we are we are we are we're on fire we're on fire someone just get the fireman in
00:17:53oh my god I love the tension between the people trying to pretend that nothing's happening and the
00:18:03people who think the fire should probably be put out not to mention that that polyester shirt John
00:18:08Oaks has got on his side if honorable clearly if you're here tonight you made it through the 70s
00:18:14relatively unscathed and that's probably because of the valuable safety information being bumped into
00:18:20your living room during the golden era public information films John's team I'm going to show
00:18:26you someone or something featured in a public information film and I want you to tell me what

00:32:05We got haberdashery, I think millinery was there, or did we imagine millinery?
00:32:13A bit of a guest work, innit?
00:32:15Was there tailoring? I think there was tailoring.
00:32:18And was there men's wear shoes?
00:32:20Men's wear shoes. Yeah, you can have it, it's no points anyway.
00:32:23Right, Shaffi's team, you've got some 70s action shows, you know,
00:32:27good guys, bad guys, fast cars.
00:32:30These kind of shows were full of epic tear-ups in car parks and brutal bar fights.
00:32:35It's time to get duffed up.
00:32:40First up, here's Bodhi from The Professionals looking pretty smooth and relaxed
00:32:45despite clearly being about to duff someone up.
00:32:49Nothing comes between Bodhi and his pint, so can you tell me how he wins this bar fight?
00:32:55How does he win it? Does he... does he glass someone?
00:32:59No. That says a lot about you, Shaffi.
00:33:02He uses what's in his hand, which happens to be the glass with beer and stuff in it,
00:33:09and he kind of lunges, and then he pours all the beer over the head and stuff,
00:33:15and that's how he wins it.
00:33:16That's like a whole series arcs, so...
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:20I've been down the pint and then threw it at somebody across,
00:33:23bumped him on the head like a cartoon.
00:33:24Yeah, that's what I would have done.
00:33:25What we're doing?
00:33:26Just down the pint and then lob the glass.
00:33:28OK.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30You were not far off, but you were completely wrong.
00:33:32He did it one-handed without letting go of his pint.
00:33:36Let's take a look at the smoothest smackdown ever seen on CV.
00:33:40I got a bottle of champagne invested here.
00:33:42Yeah, yeah.
00:33:43Well, we'll be finished in a minute.
00:33:45Word what he said.
00:33:46Push on.
00:33:47Champagne.
00:33:48Magnet.
00:33:49Champagne.
00:33:50Magnet.
00:33:56WHISTLE BLOWS

00:34:04WHISTLE BLOWS
00:34:08WHISTLE BLOWS
00:34:09Hey!
00:34:10The bit of that pour in the park for Sue's sake.
00:34:12Yeah, but he didn't let go of his pint, did he?
00:34:15I mean, that looked like a regular weekend in my dad's pub too.
00:34:17Can anyone remember which fictional department the professionals work for?
00:34:22CI5.
00:34:23Well done.
00:34:24Oh, well done.
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26And I know that because everyone took the mickey out of me when I was a kid,
00:34:28because I said, C15.
00:34:30And everyone, ugh, idiot, CI5, idiot.
00:34:34So thank you for not calling me an idiot.
00:34:36You're not an idiot.
00:34:37We'll just close that circle, Champagne.
00:34:39We'll close that circle.
00:34:40Here's Purdy from The New Avengers, looking pretty terrified and clearly in a spot of bother,
00:34:44cowering in the sewers.
00:34:46She's definitely about to get duffed up.
00:34:48But by who, or rather, what?
00:34:51I'll give you a clue.
00:34:53The episode was titled, Gnaws.
00:34:56What kind of thing can gnaw through wood, metal and even potentially Joanna Lumley?
00:35:02Basil brush.
00:35:03Was it an animal?
00:35:04What could gnaw through jaws from the bones?
00:35:05Well, exactly.
00:35:06I reckon it's obviously a take on the jaws.
00:35:07Yeah.
00:35:08And it's got absolutely the teeth, because it's one removed from another planet or something
00:35:20similar that's grown in the sewer.
00:35:21In the water.
00:35:22Yeah.
00:35:23Okay, what's our answer?
00:35:24Shark.
00:35:25We're gonna go for shark.
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:27Okay.
00:35:28No, absolutely not.
00:35:29It's a giant rat, obviously.
00:35:30Oh, cool.
00:35:31Let's take a look and marvel at the incredible special effects back then.
00:35:34undo effect back then.
00:35:35Steve!
00:35:36Bernie!
00:35:37Steen!
00:35:38Bernie!
00:35:41Steen!

00:35:58Oh dear.
00:35:59Oh dear.
00:36:01Oh
00:36:05Now I'm no David Attenborough, but I'm not sure rat sounds like T-rex so bizarre so bizarre so Shappiesteen
00:36:13The Sweeney was known for its violent tear-ups take a look at this epic and brutal free-for-all from the very first episode of the series
00:36:31oh
00:36:44That's just a very small part of it by the way we can't show it all because that fight scene went on for two whole minutes
00:36:52In all the commotion can you tell me which well-known star is playing the big bad villain?
00:36:58I'll give you a clue. He's booming voice might be his deadliest weapon. Oh, is that a Brian blessed?
00:37:07Yeah, it's only good old Brian blessed and he gets a full Jack Regan experience with a verbal dressing down
00:37:14That would only be better if blessed had said it himself. Let's take a look
00:37:28Oh
00:37:37Hello case, where's he find a pillowcase? I mean just really yeah, what I mean it near a donnell
00:37:44Regan always had a way with words. Can anyone remember any particularly brilliant
00:37:49Regan isn't yeah get your trousers on your neck?
00:37:56We haven't had any day now
00:38:00Well done both teams scored one point there
00:38:08Any guesses what product drove Valerie Leon into a frenzy in a series of ads throughout the 70s find out after the break
00:38:19Welcome back to the 70s before the break I asked what product drove Valerie Leon into a frenzy in a series of ads throughout the decade
00:38:38Did you get it? We did about it. We did. Oh, we did. Yeah, high karate. Yes, you're right. It was high karate
00:38:44Let's have a look and this unsuspecting girl is about to catch its irresistible scent
00:38:51The high karate scent the control
00:38:56Into a ravenous cream
00:39:01Irresistible that every pack of high karate carries essential instructions
00:39:08Oh
00:39:13What a dream, I mean there isn't a smell in the world strong enough to make me attracted to that moustache
00:39:19What was your favorite 70 cents?
00:39:21Aramis, I remember my dad whenever him and my mum were going out which was every night
00:39:27Make me feel better about the fact they were leaving us again
00:39:30Oh, right
00:39:31He would dab a bit of aramis under my nose so I could
00:39:35smell him in the night if I missed them
00:39:38Very harrowing though
00:39:41Right, how long have we been here now? I am starving actually the next round is about food
00:39:47Here's a couple of foodie questions for both teams. Chappie's team, you're first
00:39:51Cooking price wise was a short-lived ITV cooking show presented by gone wand Vincent price
00:39:58The series aimed to introduce food from other countries to everyday Brits after he noted that anything but spaghetti from a tin was quite beyond them
00:40:07But what was vincent price already known for?
00:40:10Oh
00:40:12Yeah, that's right. He portrayed campy villains in films including the fly which find a general and my favorite house of wax
00:40:20Brilliant film that can I tell you something about Vincent price. Yes, please do it was on the Johnny Carson show
00:40:26And it was bone in a fish and Johnny Carson said him you've got to be good at that and Vincent price said
00:40:32Do you know what she said? I've been married so many times. I've learned how to bone anything
00:40:40Different times love different times
00:40:44I'm not entirely sure that's going to make the edit matter
00:40:48Right, this is for you John's team
00:40:50Grange Hill started in the 70s, but which particularly appetizing school dinner item featured in the opening titles?
00:40:57There's a sausage flying through the air on a fork. Yes
00:41:01Stuck in you know animated. That was it. Well done. Chappie's team
00:41:05What pink sauce is a key component for the iconic 70s starter prawn cocktail or tomato sauce and mayonnaise together?
00:41:14Yeah, it is
00:41:16Yeah, well done Steve John's team. What was the nickname of the suave TV chef Graham Kerr?
00:41:22The Galloping Gourmet
00:41:24Absolutely, the Galloping Gourmet was the TV persona of the Canadian chef Graham Kerr known for his charismatic and entertaining approach to TV presenting
00:41:33Not unlike myself
00:41:35Right, Chappie's team. What popular 70s appetizer takes its name from the French translation for flight in the wind?
00:41:44Do I speak any French?
00:41:46Steve you like these
00:41:48She's giving me a clue
00:41:49I don't like it's the Alpin
00:41:53I think I should know it
00:41:55I wonder if it's anything to do with, you know, birds
00:41:57I don't know
00:41:58Isn't it Vol... Vol... Vol... Vol... Vol... Vol...
00:42:00Yes!
00:42:01Oh!
00:42:02That would be done!
00:42:03Oh, nearly!
00:42:05Thank you for marketing here
00:42:06My glory
00:42:07Vol... Vol... Vol...
00:42:09How classy were they?
00:42:10John's team
00:42:11Name five of the flavours of Angel Delight available in the 1970s
00:42:16Butterscotch
00:42:17The big winner that was...
00:42:18Chocolate
00:42:19Banana
00:42:21Vanilla
00:42:22Oh, banana, yeah
00:42:23Yeah
00:42:24There's a lemon and lime I seem to...
00:42:25Yes, butterscotch
00:42:26I've said that
00:42:27We've got butterscotch, chocolate, strawberry
00:42:29Yeah, you've done five
00:42:30Well done!
00:42:31Thank you
00:42:34Shall we try some of them out?
00:42:35Fabulous
00:42:36Oh, amazing
00:42:37And...
00:42:38They appear
00:42:39Yeah
00:42:40Go on then, you having a go?
00:42:41Oh, yeah
00:42:42Sure, do it now
00:42:43Yeah, go on
00:42:44I thought it was lemon and it's not
00:42:45What is it?
00:42:46Banana
00:42:47Oh
00:42:48Butterscotch
00:42:49I've got the butterscotch one
00:42:50I've got my butterscotch one
00:42:51Oh, yes, mine tastes like chocolate and type 2 diabetes
00:42:56Oh, wow
00:42:57This is a bit like a lump of snot
00:43:00Oh!
00:43:01Right, that's enough
00:43:02You'll ruin your appetite
00:43:03Put your angel delights away, please
00:43:05Just one game between you this time
00:43:08And it's called
00:43:09What's cooking?
00:43:13As ever, the clue is in the name
00:43:15You just had to let me know
00:43:17What on God's green earth
00:43:19These people are cooking?
00:43:21Shabby's team
00:43:22What is Fanny Craddock rather violently cooking here?
00:43:26Over the surface, in the centre
00:43:29Nice and richly filled
00:43:32Now then
00:43:34Over with that chert
00:43:36Up with the flame again
00:43:38Seal those two edges together partially
00:43:42Put that flame
00:43:44Now imagine doing a cooking show that actually puts people off food
00:43:48That's it
00:43:49So Shabby's team, can you guess what she's making?
00:43:51I saw that on TV at Christmas
00:43:53And it is
00:43:54It's an omelette
00:43:55Yeah?
00:43:56With mincemeat out of a mince pie in the middle
00:43:58Folded over
00:43:59Sure
00:44:00And the egg is still wet
00:44:01And she says that's a sign it's done when the egg is jiggling it's wet
00:44:04It's the opposite
00:44:06Mince?
00:44:07Yes
00:44:08Yes
00:44:09Steve, you're absolutely right
00:44:10It was a mincemeat omelette
00:44:12Oh dear
00:44:13For Christmas
00:44:14Merry Christmas
00:44:15You know
00:44:16Mincemeat omelettes
00:44:17Of course
00:44:18You know, I have them all the time
00:44:19John
00:44:21Here's yours
00:44:22What would I be cooking if I required these ingredients?
00:44:26One packet of frozen mixed vegetables
00:44:29One chicken stock cube
00:44:31One level tablespoon of aspic jelly crystals
00:44:36Four ounces of cold chicken
00:44:38Diced
00:44:39One tablespoon of dry sherry
00:44:42A small lettuce
00:44:43And one bunch of radishes
00:44:45Obviously cut into roses
00:44:47John's team
00:44:49Guess what I'm making
00:44:50I know
00:44:51You know
00:44:52Aspic ring
00:44:53A what?
00:44:54Sounds wrong
00:44:56I would imagine that this is a chicken and aspic ring
00:44:59Jelly to jelly ring
00:45:00It's basically
00:45:01Shredded chicken floating in chicken flavoured jelly
00:45:04Lovely
00:45:05That's good
00:45:06That's what it is
00:45:07John, I'm going to give you that
00:45:09It was chicken aspic towers
00:45:11They used to live there
00:45:12They used to live there
00:45:13So live
00:45:14LAUGHTER
00:45:15Yes
00:45:16When the work dried up
00:45:17John
00:45:19Look
00:45:20Don't they look delicious
00:45:21And if you want to try that recipe at home
00:45:24Why?
00:45:25Shappies team
00:45:27What's a youthful
00:45:28And very smartly dressed
00:45:30Delia Smith
00:45:31Cooking here
00:45:32Oh
00:45:33OK
00:45:34Um
00:45:35Both the colour and the texture are equally sinister
00:45:38Yeah
00:45:39Is that like meat or brown?
00:45:40I don't know what that is
00:45:41Is it some kind of cake mix mixed with death?
00:45:45LAUGHTER
00:45:46No, it was lentil rissoles
00:45:48Oh, that's a rissoles
00:45:49Is there a more 70s word than rissoles?
00:45:51Yes
00:45:52In fact, even Delia found it a bit of an unattractive word
00:45:56So she boldly and efficiently decides to make up her own word
00:45:59And call these delicious looking items
00:46:02Chiladas
00:46:03I want to make a recipe for you
00:46:05Called Chiladas
00:46:07Um, I made that name up because
00:46:09Really, they're lentil rissoles
00:46:11And I thought that sounded a bit dull
00:46:12And these are so delicious
00:46:13I thought they needed a posher name
00:46:15And I've got some cooked here
00:46:17Now, if you were serving them in a salad
00:46:19You would cook them for less time than that
00:46:21I've cooked them longer
00:46:22And they've absorbed all the water
00:46:24And they've gone to a nice sort of mashed potato texture
00:46:28I love that she thinks mashed potato texture is a good thing for lentil
00:46:33LAUGHTER
00:46:34John, from the same series
00:46:35With a friendly no-nonsense style
00:46:37What exotic dish is Delia cooking here?
00:46:41LAUGHTER
00:46:42You're joking
00:46:43You don't cost that
00:46:44It could be anything
00:46:45Come on, we've just got a guess
00:46:47Three pounds, that's the clue
00:46:49Three-pan omelette
00:46:50Three-pan omelette
00:46:52Do some sort of roast
00:46:53Because she always likes to do basic stuff
00:46:55There's a...
00:46:56There's a...
00:46:57Come on
00:46:58I'm going curry
00:46:59Curry?
00:47:00Yeah
00:47:01Actually, it was a trick question
00:47:02She's already made the hugely exotic spaghetti bolognese
00:47:05With three pounds?
00:47:07But now she needs to gently and clearly explain the unfamiliar process
00:47:12Of how to transfer the spaghetti out of the pan and onto the plate
00:47:16And then how to eat it
00:47:18And now I want to show you how to dish it up
00:47:21Because when I first started I got in a muddle
00:47:23So what you do is you just give it a little bit of a mix like that
00:47:27And then to serve it you lift it up very, very high
00:47:31That's the secret
00:47:32If you lift it high it goes straight over to the plate neatly
00:47:35And you don't have any problems
00:47:37And now I want to show you how to eat spaghetti
00:47:40The best thing to do is to take a few strands, not too many
00:47:44Lift them up and then take them to the edge of the plate
00:47:47Twist the fork round on the plate
00:47:50Or you can do this on a spoon
00:47:52And then lift it up so that you've got a bite-sized piece like that
00:47:56Isn't that brilliant?
00:48:00Incidentally Barbara, my mum, was the first person on our street to make a lasagna
00:48:05And it was so unusual she got the neighbours in to have a look
00:48:08So I had a friend at school that didn't believe in aubergines
00:48:11Didn't believe in them?
00:48:12No, I didn't believe in them
00:48:13Because aubergine is a huge part of Persian cooking
00:48:16And my mum would like have, whenever like there was someone coming over from Iran
00:48:20She'd say, oh, could you bring me aubergine?
00:48:22And people would come like through Heathrow with suitcases of aubergine
00:48:26And I'd have to like bring my friends round from school to prove that they existed
00:48:30That's why I'm dressed like one
00:48:33In that round, John's team, you scored four
00:48:37And Shappie's team, you scored four
00:48:40So, Shappie is still in the lead
00:48:45It's nearly time for the adverts
00:48:47But first, why were so many 70s celebs worried about someone called Humphrey?
00:48:52See you after the break
00:48:54Welcome back to the 70s
00:49:08Before the break, I asked why so many 70s celebs were worried about someone called Humphrey?
00:49:13Did you get any of you?
00:49:15It was a milk adverts
00:49:16Yes, that's right
00:49:17And how did it go?
00:49:18It had a red and white stripy straw
00:49:20It did?
00:49:21But it was a bendy straw, slightly curved like that
00:49:23Yeah
00:49:24And it used to go like this
00:49:25And they go, watch out, watch out, there's a Humphrey
00:49:28Yes
00:49:29Well done, well done John's team
00:49:31Yeah, very good
00:49:32Yeah, they were stealing people's milk
00:49:34Here's a friendly warning message from a very lyrical Muhammad Ali
00:49:38Who nearly falls victim to Humphrey's trademark stripy straw
00:49:42English fans, your milk quenches my thirst
00:49:45But you gotta drink it quickly or Humphrey will drink it first
00:49:49And everybody know that I am the greatest, that's in the boxing ring
00:49:53But when it comes to drinking Unigate milk, a Humphrey, he's the king
00:49:57So when I'm enjoying a Unigate pintar, I watch my left and my right
00:50:01Because if a Humphrey comes near my milk, there's gotta be a fight
00:50:06Watch out, there's a Humphrey about
00:50:08Oh, this is amazing
00:50:12This is his little pinky finger there, like that
00:50:16He just smashed someone's egg in
00:50:18And he's drinking his milk like that, very elegant
00:50:20Now this round is all about classic films and music of the 70s
00:50:24First up, some quick-fire questions all about music
00:50:27Shappies team, you're up first
00:50:29The Sex Pistols' first single was Anarchy in the UK
00:50:33Can you name their second?
00:50:34Everything's okay in the UK now
00:50:36No
00:50:38What? I thought you meant it
00:50:40God save the Queen
00:50:41Yes, well done Steve
00:50:42God save the Queen in 1977
00:50:44The Year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee
00:50:46So John's team, 1970s music boasted some of the coolest acts ever
00:50:51The Clash, The Rolling Stones, Blondie
00:50:54But who was the UK's most successful music act of
00:50:58Let's pick a year
00:51:00How about 1974?
00:51:02Was it Boney M?
00:51:04Do you reckon?
00:51:05Don't whisper
00:51:06Let's do your working down
00:51:08Was it Boney M?
00:51:09Going Boney M?
00:51:10I'm going, I am?
00:51:11Yeah?
00:51:12What about you?
00:51:13Boney M?
00:51:14Yeah
00:51:15Very nearly
00:51:16Oh, not then
00:51:17The Wombles
00:51:18Oh!
00:51:19Oh!
00:51:20Oh!
00:51:21In 1974, the Wombles had multiple top ten hits and more songs in the chart for more weeks than any other act in that month
00:51:29Unbelievable
00:51:30Okay, Shappi's team
00:51:32ABBA is, of course, an acronym formed by the band's members' names
00:51:35Point, if you can give me all four of them
00:51:38Agnetha
00:51:39Benny
00:51:40Benny
00:51:41Bjorn
00:51:42And...
00:51:43Oh, it's really difficult, this one
00:51:44Annabelle
00:51:46No!
00:51:47That's too English
00:51:48We know, we know
00:51:49Oh, no, you've got to give us a few more minutes
00:51:51No, no, no, no
00:51:53This show has to finish one night
00:51:55Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny
00:51:57And...
00:51:58Anastasia
00:51:59No
00:52:00No
00:52:01Okay, throw over
00:52:02Anifrida
00:52:03Well done
00:52:04Oh, that's it, well done
00:52:05Well done Kelly
00:52:06So John's team
00:52:08Matthew, you might be good at this one
00:52:10Boney M
00:52:11Hey
00:52:13Were one of the very few western acts to perform in the Soviet Union
00:52:17But which one of their biggest hits were they not allowed to perform?
00:52:20In the Soviet Union?
00:52:21Yeah, dead interesting
00:52:22Oh, I think...
00:52:23Rasputin
00:52:25Oh, yes, of course
00:52:27Rasputin
00:52:28Yeah
00:52:29Yes
00:52:30Rasputin
00:52:31It was excluded from their 1978 Red Square concert because of its sexually suggestive lyrics
00:52:37Which are considered a risk to public morals by Soviet politicians
00:52:41Yes, quite right
00:52:42Yes, quite right
00:52:45Oh, we're out of time
00:52:53The 1970s are widely seen as one of the best decades of all time for cinema
00:52:58It was a decade where there were five Bond films, some of them were great and some of them were Moonraker
00:53:05But which films will our teams find in our big box of prop corn?
00:53:10Team captains, you're going to rummage around in the box of prop corn for various items which represent some famous films from the 70s
00:53:22You can also give a line for the film as long as it doesn't give the title away and your teammates have to guess the film
00:53:29Okay, Chappies team, you're first
00:53:31You've got 30 seconds to guess as many films as you can
00:53:34Starting...
00:53:35Now
00:53:38We're gonna need a bigger boat
00:53:39perf
00:54:07Hey!
00:54:09Signs up. Well done, Shafi.
00:54:12That was brilliant.
00:54:14Well done, though.
00:54:16John, it's your turn.
00:54:18John's team, you've got 30 seconds to guess as many films as you can.
00:54:22Starting now.
00:54:25Gotta make him laugh where he can't refuse.
00:54:28Oh, The Godfather.
00:54:30What's he doing?
00:54:32Adriel! Come on, Adriel.
00:54:34Rock it.
00:54:36Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab.
00:54:40Oh!
00:54:41Rocking horror pictures.
00:54:43Oh, fair with me.
00:54:45This is good.
00:54:47You talking to me?
00:54:49You talking to me, huh?
00:54:51Taxi driver!
00:54:53Oh, you're taxi driver!
00:54:55Well done, well done!
00:54:56OK.
00:54:57This one's a bit odd.
00:54:58Any time today, John.
00:55:00Doctor, erm...
00:55:02Oh!
00:55:03Hello, Doctor!
00:55:05I'm sorry.
00:55:06I'm sorry.
00:55:07I'm sorry.
00:55:08I'm sorry.
00:55:09I'm sorry.
00:55:10I'm sorry.
00:55:11Oh!
00:55:12Oh!
00:55:13Thank you, though.
00:55:14Oh!
00:55:15Oh!
00:55:16Oh!
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18Oh!
00:55:19Oh!
00:55:20Superman!
00:55:21Oh!
00:55:22Oh!
00:55:23Oh!
00:55:24Oh!
00:55:25Oh!
00:55:26Well done, John.
00:55:27And well done, all of you.
00:55:28That was a very tight round.
00:55:30Shaffi's team, you've scored six points.
00:55:32And John's team, you've scored eight points.
00:55:35Oh!
00:55:36Oh!
00:55:37Oh!
00:55:38We are catching up.
00:55:39That prize is an odd class.
00:55:41Here comes another ad break.
00:55:42But first, you must recognise these fellas.
00:55:45But why did they think humans were primitive people?
00:55:48If you can't remember, we'll find out after the break.
00:55:51Welcome back to the 70s before the break.
00:56:06I asked why these fellas thought humans were a primitive people.
00:56:11Bit judgy.
00:56:12Let's find out the answer.
00:56:14On your last trip, did you discover what the earth people eat?
00:56:18They eat a great many of these.
00:56:21They fill them with their metal knives.
00:56:24Then they smash them all too big.
00:56:27They are clearly the most primitive people.
00:56:31Or mash gets smashed.
00:56:34Very good, that.
00:56:36Can't believe you don't match.
00:56:37Of course, it's because we mashed our own potatoes.
00:56:41It was the 70s.
00:56:43We're back on TV for this round.
00:56:45Well, I mean, we've always been on TV the whole time,
00:56:47but I've got some more questions about TV now.
00:56:50Shaffy's team, you're first.
00:56:52All right.
00:56:53Which character in a long-running soap,
00:56:54known for its sensational storylines,
00:56:56was accused of being a Russian spy?
00:57:01No. Pass.
00:57:02Any idea?
00:57:03John's team?
00:57:04Arthur Fowler.
00:57:08Nearly.
00:57:09Amy Turtley in Crossroads.
00:57:10Oh.
00:57:11John's team, this one's for you.
00:57:12Which long-running daytime legal drama
00:57:14included early roles for future stars,
00:57:17including Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley, and Don Warrington,
00:57:21in a whopping three different roles?
00:57:24Crown Court.
00:57:25Yes.
00:57:26Crown Court was a daytime TV courtroom drama
00:57:29featuring a rotating cast of actors,
00:57:31including a certain very young and beautiful Sally James.
00:57:37And here she is.
00:57:38Oh, gosh.
00:57:39Oh.
00:57:40Hey.
00:57:41My gosh.
00:57:42How many years ago was that?
00:57:43Well, obviously in the 70s.
00:57:44Just leave it at that.
00:57:46Shaffy's team.
00:57:47Which Knight of the Realm first appeared on TV
00:57:49as a teenager on New Faces in 1975?
00:57:53Knight of the Realms.
00:57:54Knight of the Realms.
00:57:55Knight of the Realms.
00:57:56Is it...
00:57:57Still going now.
00:57:58Oh, I know.
00:57:59He was in Harry Potter...
00:58:01Not Ian McKellen.
00:58:02He was in Ian McKellen.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Yeah, it's not Ian McKellen.
00:58:05OK, so it's not Ian McKellen.
00:58:06It's not Ian McKellen.
00:58:07OK, guys.
00:58:08We know it's Lenny Henry.
00:58:09Lenny Henry.
00:58:10Yes, Lenny Henry.
00:58:11He was 16 and he did impressions of Frank Spencer
00:58:14and Stevie Wonder.
00:58:15John's team.
00:58:16Now, which TV quiz show might teenagers have appeared on
00:58:19with their parents?
00:58:20Generation Bay.
00:58:21Ask the Family.
00:58:22Ask the Family.
00:58:23No, no, no.
00:58:24Ask the Family.
00:58:25Well done.
00:58:26Ask the Family, yes.
00:58:27OK, Shaffy's team.
00:58:28Sport of all kinds was a staple of 70s TV,
00:58:31with as many as a billion viewers worldwide
00:58:34watching one particular live sporting event in 1974.
00:58:38What was it?
00:58:39Worldwide?
00:58:40It wasn't...
00:58:41Wouldn't that be a football game?
00:58:42Yes.
00:58:43World Cup final.
00:58:44The World Cup final.
00:58:45Absolutely wrong.
00:58:47John's team.
00:58:48I've got a feeling it's something to do with boxing.
00:58:50Oh, yeah.
00:58:51She's not giving me anything away.
00:58:52The Rumble in the Jungle.
00:58:53The Rumble in the Jungle.
00:58:54The Rumble in the Jungle.
00:58:55Well done, Matthew.
00:58:56Oh, yes.
00:58:57Yes.
00:58:58Well done.
00:58:59Because I know a lot about sport.
00:59:01Yes, the Rumble in the Jungle.
00:59:03The boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.
00:59:06Oh, yes.
00:59:08OK.
00:59:09John's team.
00:59:10Speaking of sport, can you name three sports which featured on the classic that was Indoor
00:59:15League?
00:59:16Shove eight me.
00:59:17What?
00:59:18What's that one?
00:59:19The Skittles.
00:59:20Basketles.
00:59:21Basketles.
00:59:22Yeah.
00:59:23What was the third one?
00:59:24Whist.
00:59:25We need one more.
00:59:26Darts.
00:59:27Well done.
00:59:28Ah.
00:59:29That's the end of the questions.
00:59:32We can have a quick look at Indoor League.
00:59:34But before we do, can you remember how host Fred Truman signed off each episode?
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:40I'll see you then.
00:59:41I'll see you then.
00:59:42I'll see you then.
00:59:43I'll see you then.
00:59:44I'll see you then.
00:59:45Well done, yes.
00:59:46Here he is, proudly representing Yorkshire with every Yorkshire fibre of his Yorkshire
00:59:51being.
00:59:52We're going to leave you now with a last look at John Peters enjoying his moment of glory.
00:59:57I'll see you then.
01:00:04Fred Truman there sporting what I can only describe as a comb-over under.
01:00:08Forwards and backwards.
01:00:11Game show prizes in the 70s were, erm, interesting.
01:00:15A cross between a car boot sale and a fever dream.
01:00:18Frankly, if you went home empty handed, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
01:00:23So let's have a quick game of look at what you could have won.
01:00:30John's team, this one's for you.
01:00:32Which of these was a prize you could have won on popular 70s game show,
01:00:373, 2, 1.
01:00:38A share in a race horse, a St. Bernard's dog, a year's supply of wine, or all of the above.
01:00:47Not sure about a St. Bernard dog, I don't think.
01:00:50No, I don't think they give a joke away.
01:00:52Do you think it might be the wine?
01:00:53It might be all three, actually.
01:00:54Do you think all three?
01:00:55A share in a race horse.
01:00:56A share in a race horse.
01:00:57The wine, I kind of, maybe.
01:00:58A share in a race horse.
01:00:59A share in a race horse.
01:01:00A share in a race horse.
01:01:02The thing that throws it off, I think, is the dog.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:05I think you'd be given a dog.
01:01:06What are you going for?
01:01:07The race horse.
01:01:08A share in a race horse.
01:01:09Er, no.
01:01:10They were, in fact, all prizes up for grabs on 3, 2, 1.
01:01:14Shall we have a look at one very non-plus-looking couple being presented with a mind-boggling prize they could have won?
01:01:21What sort of dog is connected with Brandy?
01:01:23Well, what other than a St. Bernard dog?
01:01:26And that's what you would have won.
01:01:28A lovely St. Bernard dog.
01:01:30Yes.
01:01:31Listen.
01:01:32£150 he's worth.
01:01:35If you wouldn't have wanted, then we could have sold him back to the kennel before she'd have got £150.
01:01:39What?
01:01:41Yes, nothing says Saturday Night Light Entertainment like the words,
01:01:45if you hadn't have wanted him, we could have sold him back to the kennels.
01:01:50Do you remember 3, 2, 1?
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:52Yeah.
01:01:53The questions were literally riddles.
01:01:54He would go, it's made out of metal, it's dusty and grey, if you've got one of these, you'll throw things away.
01:02:00It's made out of metal, it's dusty and grey, if you've got one of these, D's, that rhymes with palm trees.
01:02:05Away, that rhymes with holiday.
01:02:07You rejected the 3, 2, 1 holiday in the Bahamas.
01:02:09Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:02:11That's brilliant.
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:13So, who can do the 3, 2, 1 hand gesture?
01:02:15Yeah.
01:02:16Oh, no, it was...
01:02:17No, you just did that, then.
01:02:18Just did that.
01:02:19No, it's what he used to do, innit?
01:02:20Yeah, it was.
01:02:21Oh, he can do it.
01:02:22You have to start...
01:02:23When he died, the headline in the papers was 3, 2, gone.
01:02:25Was it?
01:02:26Oh.
01:02:27OK.
01:02:28Shappies team, this one's for you.
01:02:30Here's someone desperately trying to make a prize of a stack of tyres look exciting.
01:02:36You can get on the road with a complete new set of tyres in the garage at 54 pounds.
01:02:42All right.
01:02:43That could be all right.
01:02:44They don't know they're born.
01:02:4654 pound, including fitting.
01:02:49See, you're not getting a bargain like that these days, are you?
01:02:52No?
01:02:53But can you tell me on which regional game show were those tyres one of the prizes on offer?
01:02:59Sale of the Century.
01:03:00Yes, in the Sale of the Century, hosted by the marvellous Nicholas Parsons.
01:03:05So, both teams, can anyone tell me the show's famous opening line?
01:03:10Live from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week.
01:03:12Yes!
01:03:13Yes, Stephen, well done.
01:03:18OK.
01:03:19I'm going to quickly toss up the score so far, and the team with the most points gets to go through to the big prize final and play the final game.
01:03:28And I can tell you that going through to the final round tonight are...
01:03:39John's team!
01:03:41Oh, no!
01:03:47Now, no true child of the 70s hasn't spent a Saturday evening sat on the living room floor shouting out items,
01:03:56rolling along the Generation Games conveyor belts.
01:03:59We've found, hands down, the most stereotypical 70s version of this game we could lay our hands on.
01:04:06John's team, you could win our star prize if you can remember more than ten items.
01:04:11Watch carefully as a 30-second representation of the entire 1970s passes before your eyes.
01:04:18Are you ready?
01:04:19Yes.
01:04:20Yes.
01:04:21OK, let's have a look.
01:04:22And on the conveyor belt tonight is a teddy belt, an electric tea maker, a leather hold-all, a toolkit, a set of copper wear, a rug, a food mixer and blender, a step stool, a Polaroid colour camera, a frilly shirt, a hair dryer,
01:04:49a Bruce's new LP, a barometer, a barometer, an Alibaba basket, a tape cassette recorder, a tape cassette recorder, and a tape cassette recorder.
01:05:01OK.
01:05:02OK, you've got 30 seconds to remember, ten items.
01:05:06Start the clock.
01:05:07Start the clock.
01:05:08Tape cassette recorder.
01:05:09Bruce's album.
01:05:10Teddy Bear.
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:12Alibaba.
01:05:13A toolkit.
01:05:14Hairdryer.
01:05:15Blender.
01:05:16Cuddly toy.
01:05:17Camera.
01:05:18A cocktail maker thing.
01:05:19Copper set of porous.
01:05:21Hideous shirt.
01:05:22Bruce's LP.
01:05:23Barometer.
01:05:24Toolkit.
01:05:25And you've got it!
01:05:26Yay!
01:05:27Didn't they do well?
01:05:28Oh, that was terrible.
01:05:29John, you do, Bruce.
01:05:30Oh, that was terrible.
01:05:31John, you do, Bruce.
01:05:32I was rubbish at that.
01:05:33What have they got?
01:05:34They've got the lot.
01:05:35Yeah.
01:05:36Congratulations, John's team.
01:05:37And well done, Shaki's team.
01:05:38You don't go away empty-handed.
01:05:39You get a 70s quiz night booby prize, a lifetime supply of Pet Rocks.
01:05:54John's team, you're tonight's winners.
01:06:07And you win our star prize, the Golden Roller Boots.
01:06:12Yay!
01:06:15Well, that brings the 1970s to a close.
01:06:21Again.
01:06:22We hope you've enjoyed our little trip down memory lane.
01:06:25Many thanks to team captains John Thompson and Shaki Kasandi.
01:06:29And also to their teammates, the wonderful Matthew Kelly.
01:06:35Sally James.
01:06:39Sue Pollard.
01:06:42And Steve Edge.
01:06:45Thank you all at home for watching.
01:06:48Good night.
01:06:49Dave.
01:06:50Really excited.
01:06:51And Steve Edge.
01:07:03Was doing your time?
01:07:04Was doing what?
01:07:06In the rush.
01:07:08The chase to the highest nordeste, Tampa.
