The year is 2000 and the new Millennium brings a flurry of nostalgia shows looking back at the past century. BBC2 gave us I Love 1970s (also known as I Love The Seventies), a ten part hour long series with each episode focusing on a particular year. Celebrities, fans and those being featured were interviewed among a collection of vintage clips and newly recorded 'retro' style clips recreating the era. Each episode was presented by someone connected to the particular year and that star also recorded an intro for a film that was broadcast afterward. BBC2 also used a new special ident for the initial broadcast - a seventies style lava lamp that created the '2' logo. The series was a success and spawned two sequel series, I Love 1980s and I Love 1990s, specials and a US series with the same name.

This was originally the Top 20, changing to the Top 30 during the 1970s and the Top 40 in the 80s. The distinctive TOTP theme tune – a riff of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" – first appeared in 1973 as the background music to the chart countdown.
