I see your Water Margin and raise you a Flashing Blade

Cannon, Kojak, Charlies Angels, Chips, and dare I say it, Starsky and Hutch?

Richard O'Sullivan in ITV's Dick Turpin on Saturday evenings (when it didn't clash with Doctor Who of course!).

Who the hell was it in Man About The House and Robin's Nest, apart from Paula Wossername and Sally Thingummy, the toothy one out of The Railway Children??

That was Richard O'Sullivan, was it not?

[rab] Yup, I think you're right. I'll nominate poor old Yootha Joyce in George and Mildred instead.

Cliff Michelmore, Richard Whitmore, Michael Aspel, Richard Baker et al doing There Is Nothing You Can Name, that is anything like a Dame...

Nationwide with Michael Barratt!

Aha! those Barratt Homes adverts with the guy with the big chopper.

I refuse to make any more TV references, go to TV Cream instead and relive those childhood telly moments.

OK maybe On the Moov aids to literasy.

La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la, la la la la la,
Do do do do-dooo, Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Give us a clue No, that's not a 70s telly reference, I really WOULD like to know what that la la etc. is about :-D

Sounds like "Lovin' You", as memorably performed by Linda Smith in Pick Up Song. (emphasis on "memorably" :)

This'll bring back a few memories. Mind, you, the Belle and Sebastian theme isn't the one I'd expected (Lonley solo boy sings whistfully... )

Horribly Ugly Sports Jacket. With leather patches.

70's nostalgia, is it, how about Manchester United getting relegated to the Second Division

Screen Test with Michael Rod, who I always found was indistinguishable from John Craven...

Phew - What a Scorcha! The Summer of '76 drought.

Yes, what a good time for a Bicentennial Dollar

No, scratch that. I'll go for Nostalgia for the Fifties (Happy Days, American Graffiti, Last Picture Show...)

[MF] Do you include Showaddywaddy and Shakin' Stephens in that?

Eating hotdogs outside the the back of Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham during the outside recording of Showaddywaddy's and Paul Nicholas's set... Grandma's Party? Ahhhh, I remember it well!!

[Pen] In Brum in the 70's! Snap. I never made it onto Tizwas but me best mate Jo did...

I thought Shaky was later than that. But I certainly included The cast of Grease, with a special appearance by Richard Gere

[ISP] And while we're at it, York City beating Manchester United while in the Second Division.

The Railway Children the film directed by Lionel Jeffries with Jenny Agutter as Bobbie, and Bernard Cribbins as Perks, Filmed on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

Would anyone with knowledge of the rules and origins of Mornington Crescent like to contribute to this site? All contributions welcome. Mornington Crescent Rules.

[Mike] What a throwback! I remember people asking about the little-known rulesets to the great game back in the seventies when I was a nipper in hotpants, before the great archive was discovered by Mrs Trellis in 1977, the year of the Silver Jubilee. What triumph that was. First Hillary conquered Everest on the eve of the Coronation, then Mrs Trellis found the long-lost handbook on the the eve of the Silver Jubilee. Its as if the game has a Royal mandate. We should be honoured to be playing. ;o)

Oliver Postgate whistling all the way to the bank with The Clangers (where Major Clanger was heard to swear at least once "The bloody doors have stuck"

*struts and primps afro* wocka-chocka-wocka-chocka-chocka-wocka-wocka... the sound of soaring strings.... and then the coloured girls sing "Shaft".

A belated shout out for Space Dust... which I think got taken off the market because it contained carcinogens or something equally charming. Ah, the joys of being ten and not caring about such things...

...has anyone mentioned 'Armchair Thriller'yet?
