The 70s Big Night In

The 70s Big Night In invites three modern families to enjoy a good, old-fashioned night in front of the telly, as they sit down to a night of prime-time TV from the Golden Age of Saturday night schedules; family entertainment as it was 50 years ago, when shows such as Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em dominated the airwaves, drawing 25 million viewers at its peak. We’ll offer a fascinating lens on 70s family life and society - celebrating a time when Saturday night TV brought families together and captivated the nation.
