A '70s Christmas: Those Were the Days
A '70s Christmas: Those Were the Days
A trip down memory lane revealing what Christmas was like in the 1970s, with contributions from broadcaster Angela Rippon and Slade guitarist Dave Hill and a host of experts and historians. The programme reveals what was served up for dinner, what was on TV, the most popular presents found under the tree and the tunes that topped the charts. Plus, the Hastings from Surrey are challenged to put away their smartphones and immerse themselves in a Christmas of the 1970s, making Christmas decorations inspired by Blue Peter, trying the hit boardgame Mastermind, tackling a frozen turkey, tucking into Tunis cake and finding out how easy it really is to bounce on a space hopper
