2 Gs and the Pop People was a very short-lived Pop music programme, produced by London Weekend Television that ran only for six episodes between 10th June and 15th July 1972. The title of the show was based on the fact that the resident singing and dancing troupe was The Second Generation, which was another project of Dougie Squires to go with the extant The Young Generation, previously featured in two of my contributions to Fonts In Use, see the album art for The Young Generation and The Best Of The Young Generation.
This is an extract from the opening titles showing the forenames of the members of The Second Generation, which are set in yellow letters from Bob Newman’s Pump Bold (Letraset, 1970).

This is just so good that this contribution of mine has gone live on this date, with it featuring another child of 29th January to go with Valérie Čižmárová and Salena Jones – both already mentioned in my Fonts In Use contributions – Tony Blackburn.
Half-a-decade ago to the day, as I write, I visited Valérie Čižmárová's grave at the Nový židovský hřbitov (New Jewish Cemetery) in Prague, so that takes in the other end of her fifty-three-years existence on Planet Earth.
It was really strange being back home in Derbyshire just about eleven hours after I’d been by that graveside.
