Days Like These is a British TV remake of the American sitcom That '70s Show.[2] Directed by Bob Spiers, it was broadcast Fridays at 8.30 pm on ITV in 1999 and used many of the same names (Eric Forman, Kitty Forman), or slight alterations (Donna Palmer instead of Donna Pinciotti, Jackie Burget instead of Jackie Burkhart, etc.). It was set in the real-life town of Luton, England, in the 1970s. It was cancelled after six episodes and only 10 of the 13 produced episodes were aired, although the entire series was eventually aired in a very late night weeknight slot.[3]
