About Sixties on Television

Television came of age in the Sixties, and the whole family gathered round the set for it. The Daleks sent children behind the sofa, Steptoe and Son and Coronation Street had everyone talking the next morning, and Thunderbirds were go. This puzzle gathers the programmes and the gadgets of the decade we all watched together, aerial on the roof, telly in the corner.
