Ridley Scott, director of 'Blade Runner', 'Thelma and Louise' etc also directed the 70s #Hovis 'bread round' advert! The one that ensured that, for a generation of British kids, (a bit of) Dvorak's New World Symphony would always be 'the Hovis music'.

Because i won’t remember on 13 January but because it isn’t far off, let me point out that this is the birthday of Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear. I loved those #70sTV #cartoons narrated by Michael Hordern (that voice!). I loved the #books and i loved the two recent films. Paddington 2 is one of my favourite movies of all time - I don’t care if it *is* a kids’ film, it’s near-perfect. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jun/28/michael-bond-obituary #MichaelBond #PaddingtonBear #MichaelHordern #Paddington2 #film

Isn’t there an episode of a 70s/early 80s TV series (British) in which the villains have discovered a way to turn old men back into (beautiful) young men who fight as soldiers for them… reverting to old men when they die? They are Nazis trying to bring Hitler back to life I think. #70sTV #BritishTV

The #clothes that people wear in early #70sTV shows are extraordinary. The men’s as much as the women’s. I’ve got Eric & Ernie here wearing shirts that seem to be patterned with big brown flowers. Everyone looks older than they would now at the same age too. #MorecambeAndWise
