In this instalment of the repeated series focusing on the 1970s, cult cartoon characters Roobarb and Custard tell the story of the year when they made their TV debut. Using new animation from creator Bob Godfrey and narration by Richard Briers, the show features Roobarb introducing the stars of 1974, from The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, to the Wombles and dancing sensations Pans People. Other delights from the year include freeze-dried food, early computer game Pong and the rise of the Ford Capri MK2, the patron car of Essex.
