My 70's TV Childhood
My 70s TV Childhood is a British nostalgia podcast about growing up with classic television in 1970s Britain.
Hosted by Oliver Colling, each episode revisits the TV shows, theme tunes, adverts, presenters and memories that shaped a generation.
From Rainbow and Grange Hill to Doctor Who and The Good Life , if it was on television in 1970s Britain, we've probably covered it. Now in its 7th season with over 200 episodes, the podcast has built a dedicated community of classic British TV fans who share a love of 70s nostalgia and the golden age of childhood.

Like many other things we've discussed in this podcast, Sundays were a bit different in the 1970's. Shops were all closed, pubs only open for a few hours, if at all and the TV schedules had a range of religious programming including the BBC's Songs of Praise and ITV's slightly glitzier Stars on Sunday. There were also religious programmes for children.
We're joined by the writer, broadcaster and popular culture expert Tim Worthington this week to discuss growing up in Liverpool and what television meant to him and his family. We also hear what Sundays were like on the TV and share fond memories of The Sunday Gang, a particularly lively group with a great theme tune who wanted to show us The Way.
