Sounds Like Friday Night

[coldstream-1971]

Any favourable comments on this 30 mins of tv? I myself would have prefered to have watched re-runs on the I-player of the 70,80's

[Guilbert53]

Yes but when YOU were younger would you have wanted to watch music from the 30s or 40s?

Of course not.

Young people want to watch music of their generation.

i enjoyed music from my grans era, like Al Jolson, etc, also my mums era which was swing music, like Glenn Miller, i am a child of music being played all the time, and still appreciate these great artists. My main music was soul, disco around the 70's, 80's now i'm into classical and opera, but still listen and appreciate other generations offerings.

I am aware that I am now of the 'older generation' which only really comes home to me when I watch programmes like this.

I find the language, speech inflections and presentation seriously irritating, and that is because it is aimed at an audience forty years or more younger than I am.

And that's fine - I simply won't watch the programme again.

I watched the first broadcast. It wasn't one bit entertaining. I shan't watch another one.

I know what sounds like Friday night but it won't make it past the filters.

[Mamyalynne]

I haven't watched it yet, must have a look then I can add comment.

Ta for the reminder.

It isn't aimed at us. It's probably aimed at thise aged 11-25 .
13 year olds would regard editions of TOTP from 1977 in the same way as in 1976 I regarded a programme featuring the Andrews Sisters and other acts from the 1930s.
I did start to watch this week as I still half follow chart music and know most of the current top 30 but i found the first Demi Levato track boring so flicke dover to the football a preview and neve rbothered turning back. I will give it a try but ifrom the clips I've seen it looked very stilted and the two presenters- who normallya re quite god on radio- looked ill at ease
