Oddly, the first TV show I remember watching with my father was The World at War. It came out in 1973 when I was 6. An odd program for a six year old to watch I’m sure it would be said now. But I remember it quite clearly. Maybe the start of my love of history.

Have we?

There is just more choice now.

For every good programme there is still a tipping point, a Mrs browns boys, a keeping up with a kardashian, a celebrity sitting on a roundabout that you wish would accidentally turn into a centrifuge.

List of 70’s TV shows that then misses of the greatest comedy series ever made. Weak effort.

I loved Rainbow when I was a kid. Mum used to let me stay up to watch the Goodies, then as I got a bit older, Minder, the Professionals and the Sweeney.

The Doctor Who of the 70s is streets ahead of the newer series.

I was only a kid too when I watched The World at War. I think it was the first time I realised that Russia was involved in WW2. As far as I can recall, the war in the east (Europe) hardly got a mentioned on 1970s TV or in kids Commando style comics. Cold War politics, I suppose.

As for kids TV: Children of the Stones, and no, it's not about Brian Jones et al. Also, there was another weird/scary children's TV programme about an alien boy who finds himself trapped on Earth while being hunted the force of nature, or something. It's on YouTube.
