Leader of a Krautrock Love Cult look-alike now being interviewed by Robin Day! He needs a big amulet

It's a shame they lost the full version of The Clangers' 1974 election special, "Vote for Froglet!":

It was Froglet versus the Soup Dragon, but apathy won the day - voter turn-out was pathetic.

Its fab!

This is what Burnett, Day and Dimbleby would have rocked to at the post-show party - number one in that week was Suzi Quatro's "Devil Gate Drive":

Alistair Burnett just described one of the (female) candidates as "one of Labour's 'more decorative' candidates".

Maggie just interviewed by Robin Day, toeing the party line and sticking up for Edward Heath.

Lots of references to 'the mining seats'. Where did they go?

First mention of Ken Clarke - a new MP in Nottingham Rushcliffe
and turnout over 80%

Almost feels like ancient history sometimes though, doesn't it?

still waiting for the result (spoiler - he's a thieving c**t)
Clement Freud at the count (Henry the dog not present)
Man from Gallup with voice of Peter Cook know it all character

60% described as 'disappointingly low' turnout

Interesting how leaders are pretty abrupt and grumpy, not too bothered about their image.

Also, no women involved and public looking mostly pretty smartly dressed in outside broadcasts with men either in trilbys or with really long hair. Lot more posh accents than now too.

where a man in the street is asked his opinion, then his wife was asked and she immediately turned to her husband to ask what her opinion was.

Its the Pub Landlord's golden age in a nutshell
