This week Johnnie celebrates the work of one of the biggest bands of the 1970s, brother and sister duo, The Carpenters.

Richard Carpenter's talent for musical arrangement and Karen's vocal range, combined with their skills on the piano and drums, made the pair one of the best-selling artists of all time.

40 years on from the peak of their fame, Johnnie Walker spins some of his favourites from their huge array of hits. From We've Only Just Begun, to (They Long To Be) Close To You, Please Me Postman and Yesterday Once More. And he tells their story, with the help of archive interview clips from the 70s.

Also on the show food critic, writer and broadcaster Giles Coren. In My 70s, he remembers the junk food, sugar candy, sights, tastes and smells that he grew up with and the music that was playing in the background.
