I have just watched the most peculiar tv show from 1974. It’s like NAME THAT TUNE, but for classical music. Also a sequence where the panellists have to guess the piece of classical music from one of its bad reviews, and one where a classical pianist had to guess the pianists in three different recorded pieces. I guess I was too young to remember this show with any clarity – the name itself rang a bell, but nothing else. It was on in the days of three tv channels, so this was basically mainstream tv culture. Probably a BBC2 show?
It makes 1974 feel like a very cold, lonely and poor place, somehow. And yet. Imagine that even making it to television today. Such a weird half hour.
