1974
Introduced by Jeremy Vine. 1974 saw streaking, Wombling, Kung Fu Fighting and the three-day week. There were two general elections, Abba arrived and President Nixon departed.
Radio 2's audio journey through five decades reaches 1974. Jeremy Vine introduces a collage of the music, news, people and programmes - as they were heard at the time - without any commentary, analysis, or hindsight.
1974 is a year of streaking, Wombling and Kung Fu Fighting. The three-day week continues and the government asks us to clean our teeth in the dark and bathe with a friend. There are two general elections, ABBA arrives and President Nixon departs.
