channel 4 - It was alright in the 70s

fryup

For all you fans of retro,

Channel 4 have a 2 part programme about TV in the 70s and the social attitudes of the time.

Sexism, smoking, bad fashion, casual racism...worth a watch:pac:

I see the first programme is repeated tonight at 11 pm on Channel 4.

I enjoyed it, its funny how quickly attitudes changed. I wonder will someone be doing a similar show in 2050 looking back in shock at things we now think are perfectly normal!

There's probably a balance of sorts between what's acceptable now and would have been horrifying then - me living with my (also male, at that) fiance and Kim Kardashian's arse on a magazine cover wouldn't have been OK back then!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

alot of tut tutting about the innuendo back then..but compared today when you can view hardcore porn with the click of a mouse i think it was pretty mild

the smoking on TV was outrageous though

It really wasn't a great programme, the rest is on series link and I'm sure I'll watch it when bored though
