I've just sat through the bizzare experience that is the BBC 1970. Is it just me or are they portraying some kind of strange parrallel reality with certain details that happened in both. baring in mind who ever is doing this program was 3 in 1977 what the hell does he know, Ok I'm old enough to remember I started work in 1977 sonme of it rings true but other parts? I take it the presenter wasn't keen on punk rock. I was. Oh and the good old myth about Leyland cars being crap sorry I drove was driving around in a TR7 in the mid-90s. What was funny is wehere they showed a Fiat X19 (rustbucket) no try comparing 1970s British Leyland cars with other 1970s cars, well apart from the Allegro.

Thankfully I'll be away when this is on.
Being thrown around by big Atlantic rollers and spewing my guts out is a far more pleasing prospect.

Have you ever watched one of those BBC programs where they pick a certain year or subject connected to a certain year and then get the usual suspects ( wonder how much they get paid) and you start thinking, "that's not how I remember that" and "are they old enough" A week ago or so the bbc ran some childrens program series which I think was 1971 or 73 I forget somewhere in that ballpark. So up pops Theakson about how he remembers the bannana splits so according to Wickepedia his Birthday is 21/12/70 he must have a good memory.

So nce you know the BBc game see how many you can spot. Last night was (yet another) re-run of I love 1977. My PVR decided to throw a wobbler so I didn't check everyone. Standout was Johnny Vegas telling us about watching Star Wars and eating pot noodles WHEN HE WAS SIX. According to Wicipedia he was born in September 1971. Wonder how much the pay was for this?
