Rolling Stone Magazine has it’s whole content available on DVD. If you get it, you will have the whole decade.

Environmentalism had not kicked off in the 1970s and people had only just become aware of the impact we were having on our environment. Global warming was unknown and the hole in the ozone layer had not been shown to be increasing.

Laws that were effecting the environment were really those put in place to prevent dangerous chemicals (like DDT) being released.

TV in the 70s was brilliant. There were some real classics like Bronowski’s “Ascent of Man”, Alistair Cooke’s “America” and Attenborough’s “Living Planet”. Kids programmes were led by “Bagpuss”, which regularly wins the best children’s programme ever vote.

Trend-wise - three major trends. Realism (dramas became more true to life), non-PC (comedies poked fun at race and sex), and the 70’s saw the beginnings of the blockbuster documentaries (as mentioned above).

Good luck with your project.
