Patrick Allen who died in 1996 was the man with the very distinctive voice. You may recall he was the voice of the British government public information films about what to do in a nuclear war. It was also used for the hit by Frankie Goes To Hollywood song called Two Tribes.

70’s Televison

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
