Electric Dreams....
Hi Guys
On BBC4 now, Electric Dreams.
A modern family taken back to the 70's. Bound to be some audio the trailer had reel to reel and Trio hi-fi. Worth a look. Its about how technology has changed over the years. Three programs 1970's/1980's/1990's and all the tech that came during those periods.

Yep, probably more so than anyone else here (and that's saying something!), you deserve the title of 'Captain Retro'!
The 60s and 70s (the former I can't really speak of from personal experience) were just so much more interesting on all sorts of levels than the 90s and 'noughties'

A veritable 70s icon! A knowing smile and the words: "Fancy a Martini, shweety, and a drive home in the Jaaag..." is guaranteed to loosen the elastic on a thousand pairs of knickers
