Hello and welcome to the Simplicity Lifestyle Channel my name is Psyche
and oh I decided to switch it up - I thought it would be good to see some of the programmes that
were big worldwide oh in he 70s - I hope they were Worldwide but I certainly know they were
big where I lived in the UK and America and I believe Europe so hopefully it was Worldwide
so without much further ado let's get straight into the Psyche Inc. titles and let's get
into watching the trailers for some of the shows that we just could not stop watching
is heading
emergency
steve austin astronaut a man barely alive
gentlemen we can rebuild him we have the technology

so
this
knight rider a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist
knight a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent
the helpless the powerless in the world of criminals who operate above the law
so
once upon a time there were three little girls who went to the police academy
and they were each assigned very hazardous duties
but i took them away from all that and now they work for me my name is charlie
wasn't that lovely just a few programmes that were absolutely massive I mean honestly so yes
the first one was the 6 million dollar man and I remember oh my goodness I thought this man was
just so gorgeous and I thought I was going to meet him one day I'm going to train really hard
and I''m going to be able to run as fast as he could - kids! - but it was huge I'm telling you it
was such a massive massive program and then what was the next one - we had Dallas, oh my goodness
Dallas I remember being at school when that first came out and aired in the UK and they had it on a
Wednesday evening so obviously we would go to school and talk about all the different
characters and everybody loved Victoria Principal and everybody wanted to be her everybody wanted to
be married to Bobby no one could stand JR and Sue-Ellen who was constantly like inebriated
and Miss Ellie was such a lovely Mother wasn't she oh my goodness the cast was absolutely wonderful
and poor Ken oh he went through so much stick with JR but it was such a wonderful programme
and it just went from zero to hero basically overnight and it was um it was shown on
the BBC which is the British Broadcasting Corporation who I have worked for and who
trained me and I'm a trained BBC TV Presenter, and have worked on many shows - I thought I would just
chuck that in - and they decided to move it from the Wednesday to the Saturday because it was
really gaining traction and honestly it got to a point that people weren't even going to the clubs
or Discos as it was called at the time - they just wanted to stay in and watch Dallas I mean it got
really really bad you know - obviously people would descend on the clubs afterwards but nobody
was going out when that was on television - I think they put it on about eight or nine
o'clock on a Saturday evening but it was huge I mean we're talking really large and when it
was "Who Shot JR" - well that story even got into all the front page Newspapers - people were saying
'who did it? ' - people were arguing in their offices about who did it why they did it and to me
that is amazing television when you can get everyone completely involved in
absolute fiction but people were talking about it as if it was so
real and to me the marketing people the writers the actors everybody involved in that
it was such a clever productionyou know to absolutely ingratiate everybody every culture
didn't matter where you came from everybody's was talking about "Who Shot JR" who did this who did
that but the "Who Shot JR" was huge so yes that was brilliant and then we had who was next was it
Knight Rider oh my goodness KIT the car oh that was big too not as big as Dallas but it was a
very very popular programme and lots of people - all the guys wanted to have that kind of cool
Trans-Am car and feel that "yeah I could pick up anybody I wanted to in my lovely set of wheels"
and then we had Starsky and Hutch - oh my goodness I swore I was going to marry
Starsky - I told everybody in school "I'm going to marry Starsky, I am going to marry
Starsky - it got so bad my Mom actually knitted me the cardigan that Starsky wore
it was that bad because I went on about it so much - and the first single that
I ever ever bought my first record was "Don't Give Up On Us Baby "by David Soul
oh my goodness my memory bank is opening up - when I do all these recordings , I just have to let you
know that I don't plan anything I just put press record/play and then I just speak and that is it
and I never re-record anything, how I've said it is how it's done so there you go - so yes
so that was David Soul oh my goodness me and then what did we go on to - Charlie's Angels - oh well
again that was a showstopper, I loved Kelly I thought 'I want to be kelly,
I'm going to be Kelly, I really like Kelly - and I like when she gets up and she turns and the fringe
goes over her eyes I'm thinking 'Kelly Kelly I want to be in Charlie's Angels - and again it was
was incredible because nobody knew who Charlie was everybody was like 'who is he?' - his voice
is absolutely beautiful - you know that man could talk to me all day - he went on to star
in Dynasty , I cannot remember his name right now but you'll tell me in the comments
but he went on to be the Head of Dynasty that was just like Dallas sort of thing and
um it was his voice - it was so lovely and nobody knew what Charlie looked like and I
do believe that Jacqueline Smith Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett Majors didn't actually know
who Charlie was they just heard the voice and I kind of believe that story because it makes it so
much more exciting when you're on set and you're talking to someone but you really don't know who
he is and that was supposed to be conveyed to the viewers and it definitely was so to me I don't
think they were making that up and I believe that for some time they actually didn't know
who the person was but obviously eventually they would, and then there was the bumbling
Bosley - bless him, so no i hope you enjoyed just a few little programmes that we used to watch and
you know if you weren't born in those times try and check them out because they were really
good T.V. and in those days we didn't have likes of Sky and Netflix and Amazon Prime and
you know Apple T.V. we didn't have anything like that we simply had BBC one BBC Two ITV then a few
years later came Channel Four and a few years later after that Channel Five but in those days
I think it was just BBC one BBC Two and ITV and that was it and honestly when they had serious
viewing figures we're talking like 20/30 million viewers watching one program which was phenomenal
absolutely phenomenal so I hope you like that and I hope it brought back some beautiful
memories - you see this channel is good because it's good for your brain it makes it work not like
some of these other things where you don't have to work it's just given to you on a plate - it's
good to use your brain keep it nice and fresh anyway on that note make sure you take care of you
