I'm back after the Xmas break, and for my first post of the year it is my pleasure to inform you that Call My Bluff and Face the Music are back on BBC 4 from 9 tonight. And, if you haven't read it yet, here's my piece for @lionunicorn.bsky.social that features both shows:

Bea on the April 24, 1976 cover of TV Guide for her show Maude - "Politics on TV: Issues or Images?"

Darrin McGavin as Carl Kolchak
Bit the bullet on a Peacock subscription so I could revisit #KolchakTheNightStalker and introduce it to friends. Truly groundbreaking television without which we wouldn’t have #TheXFiles #Buffy or #Supernatural. #HorrorTelevision #70sTelevision

Cover art for the season 4 DVD box set of Quincy M.E. Jack Klugman, who plays the medical examiner Quincy, is in a lab coat standing at a microscope holding a slide. He is also seen in the background in scrubs performing an autopsy.
This is one of the strangest choices of photos to use for a DVD cover I’ve ever seen. Quincy doesn’t look inquisitive as much as he looks like he’s wondering who farted. #quincyme #70stelevision #dvd #physicalmedia #jackklugman

I didn't realise that I'm almost the same age as Emmerdale (Farm)! Quite a few childhood memories include Annie Sugden in her kitchen in the background... #70sTelevision #childhoodmemories #feeloldnow
