Look-in Television Annual 1974

Look-in was a pop culture magazine aimed at teenagers which ran for many years, this was the 1974 annual. The annual is a fascinating look at what the "youth" were into (or maybe supposed to be into) back then, and also what was considered cool. Yes, there is a photo of Gary Glitter on page 8.

So, what was cool in 1974? Bless This House was a popular sit-com at the time, and gets a comic strip here. The artist only seems to have had a vague notion of what Sid James looked like though. Kung Fu, Doctor At Sea and Black Beauty are among the other TV series featured.

There are a lot of pop stars too, some of whom haven't been cancelled in recent years for their actions in the 1970s plus some quizzes and jokes. A pleasant look into what kids were into back then, in an age way before social media.
