It’s Awfully Bad for Your Eyes, Darling

It’s Awfully Bad for Your Eyes, Darling – 1971

Writer(s)

What a pedigree for a programme to have a writer called Jilly Cooper, of course this was a few years efore she became the accomplished novel writer. Even more exciting is to have the never aging Joanna Lumley as a star. During the 1970s Joanna would be in Coronation Street, but would become a huge hiousehold name in The New Avengers.

Jane Car went on to appear in 1979 episodes of Minder.

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.
