Anyone remember Citizen Smith?
I'd forgotten how grim things were in the 70s. I think it must have been a bit better in some ways though - we're all a bit po-faced these days and I can't imagine anyone making a comedy programme about communist insurrection in current year.
Brings back memories! x
I used to love watching that series “power to the people!” Did his landlady use to polish the apples with furniture spray? The actress playing the girlfriend looks like the one who plays Jacqueline in Benidorm? With the benefit of technology, being able to pause and replay which we couldn’t do in the 70s, it would appear that the magnificent flares that Wolfie Smith was wearing, somehow got tucked into his socks as he was running downstairs 🤣
I was a kid when this was first shown (and we didn't even have a TV) but I discovered it via re-runs. ChubbyChops' post about "revolution" just reminded me of Wolfie Smith 
Yes! I remember Robert Lindsay in this - a fine Shakespearean actor but this is how bods mostly know him if they're old enough, and if they're younger they probably know My Family, though I was never a fan: too much boring the wise-wife-knows-best while the hapless husband behaves like one of his kids, for me. I suppose My Family was a stylistic reaction to another 70s sitcom, Butterflies, in which the wife was presented as a simpering idiot who was indulged by her tolerant husband and boys. Ah well.
Love this shot of London. Shows you the scruffier, bleak side of a decade I otherwise remember with pleasure. When I had my first job in the mid 70s I lived in a hovel bed-sit and my second-floor bedroom overlooked the top level of a well-known prison. I kid you not: the prisoners used to get up on their benches and wave at me in the evening from behind their bars. Used to worry me a bit but then they were probably just lonely.
My abiding memory of easy 70s food for the lonely professional? Cod in a bag. That awful, slimy, burial-at-sea slab of greyish fish that came swilkering out of a hot plastic bag to lie defeated and drowned in sauce - parsley or cheese, I think.
I eat much better nowadays. That's partly leisure and time, but if you forget the overwhelming presence of junk food in supermarkets, the overall quality of food is generally much higher nowadays.
Power to the slimming People!

Ohhhhhhh, life's too short!!!!!! LoL
I was at university when Citizen Smith was on. That's when my weight problems began. Once a week, we'd go into town to a fabulous ye Olde Worlde Tea Shoppe and have 2 cream cakes each. Ah those were the days!
I need Wolfie to help me with the diet revolution now (and the farming issues that Toady has raised). Power to the Fatties (or is that too politically incorrect?). Apologies to anyone who has a weight issue and may have been offended by my last comment.
Incidentally, I have lost half a stone now - might celebrate with a cream cake.....or maybe just the cream. 😋
Finally Fully Fat Adapted?!? 🤔
