These are some of the most famous catchphrases uttered on film and TV during those two decades.
Some are so famous they’ve entered the common vernacular, while there are others you will probably only recognise if you were around at the time.
From sitcoms and game shows to dark psychological thrillers, these well-known words and phrases have disparate sources.
But they were all widely heard during the 60s and 70s, whether it was from people quoting famous movie scenes or from the mouths of some of the UK’s best-loved presenters and comedians.
How many of these catchphrases do you recognise, and do you remember who was famous for saying them?

9. 'It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him'
Ronnie Barker (left) and Ronnie Corbett, were one of the nation's best-loved comic double acts. Their long-running sketch show, The Two Ronnies, always ended at the newsdesk, with the duo reading out spoof news items before Corbett signed off with the words 'it's goodnight from me', and Barker added 'and it's good night from him'. | Getty Images Photo: David Cairns
10. 'You dirty old man!'
Steptoe and Son starred Harry H Corbett as Harold Steptoe, and Wilfrid Brambell as his Albert, who together ran a father-and-son rag-and-bone business. Harold's aspirations to make more of his life were invariably thwarted by his father, leading him to yell in frustration: "You dirty old man!" | Getty Images Photo: Evening Standard/Hulton Archive
11. 'Exterminate!'
Doctor Who first aired in 1963, and the sci-fi drama has had children hiding behind the sofa ever since. As is often the case, the baddies got the best lines, and the most memorable catchphrase was the Daleks' one-word mantra 'exterminate'. They are pictured here with their time-travelling nemesis, played at the time by Tom Baker, in 1975. | Getty Images Photo: Evening Standard/Hulton Archive
12. 'Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?'
Dirty Harry is one of Clint Eastwood's most memorable roles from a phenomenally successful career. It is in the original film, as the San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan, hunting down a psychopathic killer, that he utters perhaps his most memorable line. Having foiled a bank robbery and holding one of the culprits at gunpoint, he tells him: "You've gotta ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" | United Archives via Getty Images Photo: FilmPublicityArchive
