The inspiration to this show came from the American real life enetrtainment family called The Coswills. The Partridge Family became the fictiuos family that would play songs all around the U.S. fronted by the heartthob David Cassisy. It was like fact went to fiction, and became fact again when the Partridge Family started having real life global hits.

Within a year David Cassidy was a worldwide superstar.

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.
