My 70s TV Childhood is a nostalgic podcast about growing up in Britain in the 1970s, told through the TV shows, theme tunes, presenters, adverts, quizzes and memories that shaped a generation.

Hosted by Oliver Colling, the podcast revisits the programmes many of us watched together, from Saturday morning favourites like Swap Shop and Tiswas to children's classics like Rainbow, Grange Hill, Play School and Crackerjack.

Now in its seventh season, with over 200 episodes and listeners around the world, My 70s TV Childhood has built a dedicated community of people who share a love of classic British TV, 70s nostalgia and the golden age of childhood television.

The podcast is for anyone who grew up watching British TV in the 1970s, or anyone who loves classic British television.

If you remember sitting down as a family to watch Doctor Who, singing along to theme tunes, watching children's TV after school, or arguing about whether you were a Swap Shop or Tiswas household, this podcast is for you.

It is also for younger listeners who want to understand the programmes, presenters and TV moments that shaped their parents' and grandparents' childhoods.

We remember the adverts, theme tunes, presenters and programmes that defined an era of British television. If it was on TV in 1970s Britain, we have probably covered it, or it is on our list.

The My 70s TV Childhood Theme Tune Game is a nostalgic family game currently in development for people who grew up with 1970s British television.

It is inspired by the theme tune rounds from our popular podcast quizzes. Players listen to classic TV theme tunes and try to name the show.

It is designed as a fun, no-pressure game for families, parents, grandparents and grown-up children to play together, guessing, singing along and arguing over half-remembered theme tunes from childhood.

The game is simple. Pick a card, scan the QR code on your phone, and listen to a clip of a classic 1970s TV theme tune. Then try to name the show before anyone else at the table does.

No batteries, no board, no complicated rules. Just cards, a phone and a table full of people who think they remember more than they do.

The My 70s TV Childhood Theme Tune Game is currently in development.

You can join the waitlist at my70stvchildhood.com/boardgame to be the first to hear when it launches.

All proceeds will go towards supporting the podcast.

The game is for anyone who loves classic British TV theme tunes, 1970s nostalgia and family quiz games.

It could make a thoughtful gift for a dad who has everything, a nostalgic present for grandparents who remember every theme tune, or a fun Christmas family game for people who love old British TV.

It is being created for classic TV fans, nostalgia lovers and anyone who enjoys a good memory test.

Yes. The My 70s TV Childhood Theme Tune Game is being designed as a nostalgic gift for dads, grandads, mums, grandparents and classic TV fans who grew up with 1970s British television.

It is not another mug, t-shirt or pair of socks. It is a game built around memories, music and the programmes people still talk about decades later.

It is designed to get people laughing, reminiscing and playing together, making it ideal for Father's Day, Christmas, birthdays and family gatherings.

You need one smartphone or tablet between the group to scan the QR codes and play the theme tune clips. You do not need one each.

Any smartphone with a camera that can scan QR codes will work. Most modern phones can do this directly from the camera app without downloading anything extra.

The game works best with two or more players, but there is no upper limit. The more people around the table, the better the arguments about who shouted the answer first.

It works equally well as a two-player game between partners, a family game after Sunday dinner, or a larger group game at a party or quiz night.

The game is designed for adults who grew up with 1970s British television, so the theme tunes and shows will be most familiar to people who were children or teenagers in the 1970s.

That said, younger family members often enjoy playing alongside parents and grandparents — guessing, laughing, and learning about the programmes that shaped a generation. It works well as a cross-generational family game.

Full details on card count and show selection will be announced closer to launch. Join the waitlist at my70stvchildhood.com/boardgame to be the first to know.

What we can say is that the game covers a wide range of programmes from across the 1970s — children's shows, sitcoms, drama, Saturday night entertainment and everything in between.

The game draws on the full breadth of 1970s British television — children's favourites, classic sitcoms, Saturday night entertainment, drama, quiz shows and everything in between.

Think Doctor Who, Blue Peter, Grange Hill, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, The Two Ronnies, Mastermind, Roobarb and Custard, The Good Life, Top of the Pops and many more — the theme tunes that a generation can still hum from memory.

Most nostalgia trivia games test your knowledge of facts. This game tests your memory of something far more powerful — the music.

Hearing a theme tune triggers a completely different kind of memory than reading a question about a show. It is instant, physical and often surprising. People who could not tell you a single fact about a programme can name it within three seconds of hearing the first few notes.

It is also created by My 70s TV Childhood, a podcast that has spent seven seasons getting this subject right. The shows and tunes in the game are chosen by people who genuinely love this era of British television.

Yes — we would love to hear your suggestions. Get in touch via the contact page or join the conversation in the My 70s TV Childhood Facebook group.

The podcast community has already helped shape the show selection, and listener suggestions are very welcome. If there is a theme tune you still hum to this day, chances are it belongs in the game.

The first game is focused entirely on 1970s British television — the decade the podcast knows best. A 1980s edition is something we have thought about, but for now all our energy is going into making the 70s game as good as it can be.

If you want a say in what comes next, the best thing to do is join the waitlist and let us know which decade you would love to see covered.
