Although she was from a rural working class background my Mum covertly shielded me from ITV as a class "thing". I don't ever remember being able to watch kids TV (Rainbow for example) mostly because of the adverts, although the Big Match was allowed.
She used to say that ' we couldn't get ITV' but somehow it retuned itself every Wednesday evening at 7pm for This Is Your Life.
Anyway, your ITV memories please.

Anyway, your ITV memories please. yes, i think this was true in a lot of households. you still find JC and G turning their noses-up at anything ITV put out in the 70s. ITV was welcomed in my house and some of my favourite programmes were broadcast on it. the big match, catweazle, all the ITC series which i loved and some classic comedies which i've harked on about many times on here. it was the perfect antidote to the often stuffy bbc, which could be appallingly middle-class. |

....in 1971 his television future was sealed, when his natural rapport with the public in a game-show setting became the centrepiece of an entire series. With Forsyth once again gently ribbing contestants as they competed in performing absurd tasks, Bruce Forsyth and the Generation Game (BBC, 1971-77) proved a phenomenon, attracting audiences by the millions to its Saturday early evening slot. Forsyth was now viewed as the game show host par excellence - a pigeonhole from which he has never fully escaped.
A plethora of Forsyth-hosted game shows followed, including Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right (ITV, 1980-87, 1994-2003), Hollywood or Bust (ITV, 1984), You Bet! (ITV, 1988-90), Takeover Bid (BBC, 1990-91), a return to former glories with Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game (BBC, 1990-94), Bruce's Price is Right (ITV, 1995-2001) and Didn't They Do Well (BBC, 2004).
