Whilst the UK was in the midst of mass industrial disputes and union strikes back in 1979, the Look-In magazine was also not immune from this. This week's flashback heavily features the Bee Gees & The Muppets but the issue is plagued by omissions as there's no ITV TV guide and a lack of other content.
