I was a kid on Anglesey when this was aired and remember this episode being aired. "Wish you were here" was considered a Primetime Show back then 👍

People had a lot of love for Helvetica in 1975. It’s on the ferry, train station signs, captioning, and even the Thames logo at the beginning!

[@dshe8637]

I went there in summer 1978 on a school field trip

[@fabrizio-evans]

Great! And I remember that THAMES logo/intro. awesome :)

We were on holiday in this year in Llanwrog, not far from Valley. Remember the new S reg vauxhall cars in the showroom by the traffic light crossroads, I was 11.
