VIDEO CLIP: Lynda's 1978
In Manchester the first test tube baby was born, and The Invasion of the Body Snatchers started at UK cinemas. Wonder Woman, Blake's 7, and The Incredible Hulk revived TV sci-fi, while the first classes enrolled at London's Grange Hill comprehensive. JR tried on his first ten gallon hat in Dallas and Anna Ford became ITN's first female newsreader. The jogging craze reached its height and Lycra took off - but runners would have to wait another year for the launch of the Sony Walkman.
