We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

Welcome back to My 70’s TV Childhood, the podcast where we revisit the TV shows, memories, and moments that shaped childhoods in 1970s Britain. It’s hard to believe we’re already in our sixth season! The support and love from all of you listening, sharing your memories, and getting in touch means the world to me—thank you!
In today’s episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to one of the ultimate Saturday night TV experiences—The Generation Game. I’ll be reflecting on the impact of this family-friendly game show that became an institution in British entertainment. With Bruce Forsyth as the iconic host, The Generation Game captivated families across the UK, bringing humor, warmth, and fun to our living rooms every week.
We'll talk about Bruce Forsyth’s legendary hosting style, his dynamic with Anthea Redfern, and the unforgettable moments, like the infamous "conveyor belt" round. Plus, we'll discuss how The Generation Game reflected the spirit of 1970s Britain and set the stage for future game shows.
So, whether you remember The Generation Game with Bruce or Larry Grayson, this episode is sure to bring back those cherished memories of gathering around the TV as a family.
Get in touch! I’d love to hear from you! Were you a Bruce Forsyth fan, or did you prefer Larry Grayson’s take on the show? Share your memories and thoughts on our blog at www.my70stvchildhood.com, or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and LinkedIn. You can also email me directly at [email protected].
Don’t forget to like, rate, and review us wherever you get your podcasts! Your support helps us continue to bring you more nostalgia-filled episodes.
Thanks for tuning in, and I look forward to having you join us again next week for our next 70’s TV trivia quiz and a fortnight from now for another regular episode of My 70’s TV Childhood.
Take care
Oliver
