  12. Cult TV: the 1970s
    Course start date:  Wed 17 Sep 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Paul Sutton
    For anyone growing up in or living through the 1970s there were plenty of series on TV to watch, despite the limited numbers of channels available at the time. Enduring classics such as Doctor Who, which began in the 1960s and continues to this day, to crime dramas such as The Sweeney and its follow-up Minder, not to mention The Professionals and The New Avengers, to comedies like Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Goodies, The Good Life, To the Manor Born and Fawlty Towers, as well as science fiction dramas such as Blake’s 7 and Space 1999, the 70s was a rich decade in terms of television production. So, if you want to forget the oil crisis, power cuts, the 3-day week and the ‘winter of discontent’, but remember Punk, Ska and a whole host of what are now seen as ‘cult’ TV programmes, then put on your donkey jacket and your beige flares, mount your Raleigh chopper bicycle (sadly I was only allowed a ‘Jeep’) and join me for four weeks of 70s nostalgia.
