BBC 1977 Continuity from Doctor Who to Generation Game 

Whenever I hear the original Dr Who theme I'm immediately transported back to my childhood. Tom Baker was the best!

This is when Saturday night TV was good, my family and I sat in the living room watching Doctor who and the Generation Game, the memorable Brucie pose, I got my Nana to do exactly the same pose as I drawed a picture of her, great days!

Due to a strike by technicians, the management asked Bruce to stand in for the test card :D

I remember the Generation Game well with Bruce Forsyth and then Larry Grayson. Here I would have been seven and a half in my first year at junior school!

18 million people loved this show and it was the highlight of Saturday night for so many people.

Saturday night childhood brilliant

Blimey, the last and the only time you'd see Oxford v Shrewsbury on MOTD :)

This is from Saturday 3rd December 1977.

Ah, the nostalgia! ... "Doctor Who" followed by "The Generation Game" ... Both broadcast from analogue 2" Quad Videotape, unlike today's Digital TV, which is played out from a file on a server!

The theme song of "The Generation Game" is very interesting.

These were days when life was simple.. 3 channels and we were spoilt for choice. :-)))

Bruce's last Generation Game, before Larry took over

The Regeneration Game.

STan The GodMan...

I remember this well the week before both BBC Channels were taken off the air [As the unions went on strike] over the then Labour goverment pay order. BBC 1 and 2 came back on the air after two hours with a service run by mangement,which included no SlLOW MOTION REPLYS on the week"s Match of the Day 7 days before.. It wasn"t all wonderfull i the 1970"s 50 year old disabled carrer. GOD BLESS!

+Paul Hillam If you do recreate a 70s Saturday night that would be brilliant, I've been trying to do the same with in-vision CiTV.

Odd that Louisa, "the duchess" of Duke Street, should bring a guest for herself...

Excellent! Been looking for enough linking material to recreate a BBC1 Saturday evening of the 70s for a long time.. I am also after original 70s BBC1 continuity linking into The Basil Brush Show as well, Match of the Day, Upstairs, Downstairs - & probably Parkinson - all continuities to recreate a 70s Saturday night on the BBC for the same night would be great if I could locate them... Do you have that complete Generation Game edition too..?

Who's Bruce and what is this show?

God, Brucie should have retired by then!
