As A Dodo Easter Webpoll 2007: The Results

The inhabitants of As A Dodo Towers are pleased to announce (a) their return from their brief Easter absence, (b) their enormous pleasure at the, now confirmed, presence of As A Dodo on the politics shortlist for the estimable Metro/Ask.com Brit Blog Awards 07 and (c) lastly (and almost certainly leastly), the results of the As A Dodo Easter Webpoll, seeking readers' nominations for the relic from the 1970s they would most like to see resurrected:

9th=
Space Hoppers
45rpm singles

7th=
Tank Tops
Abba

6th
The constant fear of nuclear annihilation

3rd=
The Tomorrow People
Spangles
Punk

2nd
Jacob Bronowski's Ascent of Man

1st
The Muppet Show

Which data reveal - somewhat disturbingly - (a) that our readers would rather live in constant terror of three-minute warnings and atomic Armageddon than wear tank tops, listen to an Abba 45 or bounce around on the much-maligned Space Hopper and (b) a brilliant and groundbreakingtour d'horizon of the development of human society and the science which helped to create it is nowhere near as fondly remembered as a felt frog with someone's hand up his rear. It's good to be back!
