"And live from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week."
It's A Knockout was great stuff, with Stuart Hall and Eddie Waring
Rumpole
The Sweeney
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Brideshead Revisited
Hmm. Weren't three of those on ITV? Two made by Thames before its demise at the hands of a vindictive Mrs Thatcher after Death On The Rock.
That is something else we had in the 70s: investigative documentary series.

Dads army, and forty odd years on it is still the best thing on the old sh1t pump on a Saturday night.

UFO was excellent and still looks quite futuristic now.
Itsaknockout, I wish they would repeat the International Finals.
Alias Smith And Jones with Ben Murphy and Pete Duel is a very good shout Capt F. The ultimate must watch series from that era though for me has to be Roots.
Ah Roots , ****a Kinte and Chicken George. I also enjoyed another Mini Series about the Holocaust (with Meryl Streep i thnk)can't remember its name but late 70's early 80's. As a history buff i didn't know much about this period as i wasn't taught it in school, i found it fascinating if a horrific.
I also was forced to watch ( my Father loved them) The Waltons and Dallas ( before Dallas became big time) had the 8:10 slot on BBC 2 , with the hope of running into Not The Nine O' Clock News. Then he would realise and switch over to BBC 1 for the Nine O'Clock News.

MB's POtty Time - classic 
might be a bit later than the 70s but who remembers a mini series about a lad who finds out his mum was a gorilla? Charles Dance was in it iirc. Very much ahead of its time and deserves to be remade imo.

Superstars is a shokkin omission as to a lesser extent is Call My Bluff.
No I haven't Jayco, Brian Jacks 'king of the dips' was not my favourite Superstar, it was a great series though.I knew Andy Ripley, he played for my local team Rosslyn Park and England of course, my rugby coach at the time was also there, I played cricket with him as well. He was a true Corinthian and won U.K. and International Superstars, he was a bit of a hero of mine if truth be told. A great man he was.
the invaders think was shown over here in 70's
the outer limits,the twilight zone other good ones around this time

Jim'll Fix It and John Craven's Newsround are staggering omissions.
^ Given a recent outing under the name "Spooks" imo.
Has 'It aint half hot mum' been mentioned yet
No chance of that making a comeback.
A white bloke playing an Indian and the Sgt Major bellowing 'You is all a bunch of poofs'

I don't know why the BBC waste so much money on 'new tv' like cash in the attic and the property shows.
