The Quiz # 23

Hello and welcome back once again to the My 70’s TV Childhood Podcast. Our quiz this week has a theme: Summer holidays. In the UK at the time of recording, schools are breaking up for holidays. To recreate the spirit of a 70’s TV Childhood Summer, all of our questions this week refer to the Summer holidays and the special TV shows that were put on to entertain us during the seemingly endless long school holidays.This week’s quiz follows the usual format: 20 questions over four rounds, with a point for each correct answer. So grab a pen and paper, top up your drink—I’ve got a gin and tonic this week as I’m recording on a weekend evening—and get ready to play.We start with Round One, called "Holiday Special," featuring five questions about TV shows shown during the 1970’s Summer holidays.Next, we move to Round Two, which is our usual Marathon or Fil Rouge round but with a holiday-themed twist. Interestingly, this round is named in honour of It’s A Knockout or Jeux Sans Frontières when it went on its summer holidays! All the questions relate to items we’ve mentioned in previous editions of our podcast, My 70’s TV Childhood.For Round Three, we would normally have our Spin The Wheel, Name That Tune combo mashup round featuring our AI-powered theme tune generator, but due to the CrowdStrike IT outage, we’ve gone back to pre-digital methods of Name That Tune! We have five signature tunes of shows regularly shown on UK TV during the Summer holidays.Finally, Round Four is our TV Times general trivia round, but this week, all of the questions have a connection to Summer holiday TV.This week’s bonus question is about a TV show that, although made in the 60s, was regularly shown during school holidays in the 70s. The Monkees was one such show. Can you name all the members of The Monkees (without cheating)? Email your answers to [email protected] did you do? Whether you aced it or found it challenging, I hope you’ve enjoyed this time’s quiz.
