Saturday night, me and the mrs got through 5 bottles of prosecco whilst enjoying a box set of a TV series from 1975.. "You Must Be Joking"
...hence this thread started very later that same night,...
In 1975 I was 16 and the wife 13.. we wouldn't meet until 1982 until then separated by the Bristol channel... but we were both influenced by very similar mass media and culture...
"You Must Be Joking" was an 'adventurous' teatime kids TV show. Teenagers from the Anna Scher youth Theatre, same age as us, were let loose to script and present their own views on comedy and society. The result was chaotic and unsurprisingly politically radical.. as much as they could get away with.... and still more than a year to go before the punk rock agit pop explosion..
Anyway, here is a highlight sketch from series 1... an energetic youth rendition of a Leon Rosselson song...
