Things We Didn’t Have in the 1970s

Part Five

Reality TV

I’m glad about this one. With all the reality I was getting at home, I didn’t need any more on my TV screen. There were one or two shows that did actually feature real people. The Up series, which followed school kids through their lives at seven year intervals, could be classed as reality television but it was really more of an anthropological study. What we didn’t have was beautiful but talentless wannabees cluttering up our TV screens on Love Island and Big Brother. Sometimes, it really was better in the old days.
