TV Mock: 7 '78 Days of BBC2

A week of 1978 BBC2 programme line-up trailers, from the end of 'Saturday Cinema' to the Friday night closedown. Marvel at the mix of high and lowbrow entertainment on offer and ponder on how much we'd all like to see 'Pro-Celebrity Strip Poker'!

This is excellent & hilarious!

@spig021 Cheers - although I was running out of ideas by the end of the week!

An excelent parody of what we could expect from the BBC's more conservative channel back in the 70's. Documentary style subjects which interested about 2-5% of the population; foreign films which, again, were never meant for mainstream audiences and then almost immediately after, programmes which weren't meant to be thought about at all. Pro-celebrity strip poker, (preferably without the option of seeing Arthur Mullard naked), springs to mind! LOL

@JFredUK I suppose BBC4 today caters for the same minority audiences BBC2 catered for in the 70s; it's always nice to have an alternative to the mainstream, but I think I could live without 'Pro-Celebrity Strip Poker'!

Bloody Hell that was a cracking episode!. So many highlights - The Talking Heads spoof,chinky chips,The Bastard,the gary glitter pc repairs reference and two Doctor Who mentions!. I like the way you intergrated the colourised footage of the invasion by the way!

@MrElliotpaige Glad you enjoyed it! I have to confess by the time I got to the last one, I resorted to a simple caption to show Saturday's line-up because I'd literally run out of programmes to parody and couldn't think of anymore! This took twice as long to put together as the last few, but it's a relief to know it raised more smiles than just me own.

@Agaricfly68 Glad to be of service; I must admit the Princess Anne clip (and the Queen's joyous response) had to be my own personal favourite!

Arthur Mullard nude, HRH Princess Anne in "Horse-Face of the Year Show", the infamous Stranglers at Guildford University "Hangin' Around" clip & "The Creature from the Black Lagoon Knacks Godzilla". What a fantastic week on BBC 2!?!?!? Thank you!
