成人快手

Join Grace Dent on a televisual trip back in time to Christmas 1979 as she immerses herself in the sights, sounds and schedules of 40 years ago. As well as exploring what the nation鈥檚 viewers enjoyed watching on the box of delights, Grace sees if she can beat the year鈥檚 Mastermind grand finalist, and how well she fares on the Generation Game鈥檚 famous conveyor belt game.

With the 1970s a much-maligned period, it鈥檚 a surprise to find that the festive fortnight鈥檚 top shows had women winning when it came to seasonal goodwill. Penelope Keith and Wendy Craig led the way in sitcoms, Barbara Woodhouse had everyone on their best behaviour, and the most exciting music shows featured classic performances from Kate Bush and Debbie Harry鈥檚 Blondie. It was also the year that Tommy Cooper nearly killed off Michael Parkinson on live television, and The Black Stuff boys first went job hunting.

Of course, not all of Auntie Beeb鈥檚 programme presents stand the test of time quite so well. Basil Brush has a bizarre duet with Sasha Distel, Kenny Everett鈥檚 Blankety Blank appearance is far from being in the best possible taste, and the 成人快手鈥檚 female children鈥檚 presenters put dignity to one side as they compete in a beauty contest featuring high kicks and sparkling leotards.
