 Nation Wide 1969 
This was a daily news update on current and local affairs. On the other side a program called Day by Day was its equivalent (in the south of England). I can remember Frank Bough and Micheal Barrat being among the many presenters.
 New Faces 1973 
This classic personality contest of the 70's hosted by Derek Hobson was made up of a panel of guests like Tony Hatch and Mickey Most. There task was to judge the appearance, the star quality and the contents of each act. Often the acts were dreadful, but some famous names did make it. e.g. Bonnie Langford, Lenny Henry, Jim Davidson, need I continue? It wasn't uncommon to see acts get upset by the very frank comments of the panel, who judged them on contents, star quality and presentation.
Newsround 1972 
Fronted by John Craven, this was the news in every day plain English. It was always shown in the middle of children's television programmes around 5pm. 
 Noah and Nelly 1976
This was all about Noah's difficulties with either the flood or the animals aboard the ark. With the often repeated catch phrase "All aboard the skylark!".
 Number 73 1982
