I’ll give my full picks for the 70s as a whole later on, if possible.

Oh- and Pyramids of Mars was 1975.

Bugger. I've been out-pedanted. Seeds of Doom it is then.

The Survivors TV show was so much better than Doctor Who at the time. That episode where Charles is chased across the countryside by gunmen because they think he has rabies was intense.
