Watching the one hit wonders show on bbc4 and the video for "eye level" Simon park orchestra is quite something!

NOT cool flares 70's but very much "dad 70's" With outgrown crew cuts rather than proper 70's long hair, brown trousers and burnt orange shirts Grin

I love most things 70's but this is probably more accurate in terms of the real fashions then that I seem to forget

Is it this one? YANBU...

Looks very similar - think they used the same uniform for each appearance?

Theme from Van Der Valk if I'm not mistaken. We didn't need Scandi Noir

The 70s were the decade style forgot. Lived through them. It was awful! Sad

Van der Valk is on each weekend night on Talking Pictures Freeview Ch 81.
Lots of other goodies too.
Mostly old movies during the week but TV series' on evenings and weekends.
Great stuff for us over 60's Smile

Most of my teachers and friends' dads looked like that! Grin

Davros · 20/04/2020 10:23

MrFaceyRomford you cannot be serious! I was a teenager through the 70s. Best decade ever for clothes, music, food. We went from glam fans to soul kiddies to punks to new mods to the start of New Romantics and synth. Fantastic. Embrace it!

brings back memories of skipping round the school hall in my knickers & vest throwing a bean bag up in the air and catching dropping it again.

We learned to play that on the recorder.

Graphista · 20/04/2020 12:57

Very much geography teacher style, they're just missing the cord blazer with elbow patches Grin

I love other 70's fashion, music etc but this is the negative aspect

They're very 70s Open University lecturer

Dreamersandwishers · 20/04/2020 14:26

Van Der Valk reboot starts on ITV next Sunday. Marc Warren stars, think it replaces Belgravia. I am very excited.

Davros · 20/04/2020 16:28

Brilliant! I can't wait to see that

SpyApp · 20/04/2020 16:30

'The Hustle' was a fave tune.

SpyApp · 20/04/2020 16:32

Oops that was Van McCoy not Van der Valk.

Davros · 20/04/2020 17:50

Quite. Not to mention The Spanish Hustle

Graphista · 20/04/2020 20:07
