This is great im a 80s kid and this really makes my ADHD ok for a bit don't know why cool 😎
Thanks so much
That's made my day !!!
@@RetroReminiscing you made my day 😊😻
Same here m8
I'm an 80's kid too and this reminds me of every glossy fake shit thing I hated about the 1980s.
I'd go back to the 80s in a hearbeat. Was 14 in 1982.
Morning chocoholic ! 🍫 me too !! ha ha
you'd go back to the 80s but ur using the internet to post that comment that didn't exist in the 80s
I was a few months old in 1982
So was I then too indeed as well of course.
I would have been 3 when this was on, but I do watch similar videos from the late 80s and the 90s, it's weird how comforting it is. Life was a slower pace back then, the world now is off its rocker.
It is off its rocker 😆👍 and yes I totally get that 'comforting feeling you get when being took back in time with images, sounds, perfumes... literally takes up back to a place or person emotionally for a short time ....Thank you very much for your comment 🤗😁👌Sonique
I agree completely! I'll turn 45 in exactly 1 week. These clips help to remind me how precious my time is with my 17 month old daughter. Away from social media and work emails when she and I play in the front room or at the park.
Even if you don’t consciously remember it, your subconscious probably remembers certain sounds and adverts. I smelt some perfume on someone and it immediately reminded me of my great aunt who died when I was four but I couldn’t actually consciously remember what she smelled like 😂
1982 : if you can pinch more than an inch you may need to watch your weight
2023 : if you are fat and can grab a foot of flab celebrate your body positivity while you can, youll be on a slab soon
That is very accurate of today!
2023: where nothing's ur fault, u can pick ur gender and no matter what ur a victim.
I thought exactly the same, the man in that video was the handy man in Dinner Ladies.
Yep , the world has gone mad , so glad I was born in 65 , we had the best years .
If you can pinch more than a foot you're entitled to disability payments and a motor scooter :)
This is incredibly comforting. Born in 76, this reminds me of a simpler times and gives a true feeling of warmth in my soul. I think people of my age need to watch this from time to time, to bring them back to simpler times. Thanks for making this! ❤
Well said I agree
Hi I know exactley that feeling and you described it well...Its like a 'comfort' watch looking back at these..almost like 'going home' for a short while...t p people and places that no longer exist today for us ....Thank you so very much for your comment and I hope you have a lovely Sundat afternoon! Sonique 🥰📺
@@RetroReminiscing Thank you so much, I'm so glad people like you are keeping these times alive. Have a fab Sunday too, all the best! :)
Being born in 1975 I totally agree, it's a wonderful bit of time travel.
I can't believe people still write about nsotalgia and 'simpler times' unironically. The 80's were not simpler times.
Im on the sofa under a cosy Duvet , the rain pelting down at my window, a himalayan Rock lamp glowing a warm orange and another 1980's video to take me back in time when i was a teenager 😊
That sounds like my ideal kind of a moment! I even have the rock salt lamp and rain this morning to recreate your comment ha ha Loved this, thank you for commenting, enjoy your Sunday, Sonnique
@@RetroReminiscing thanks Sonnique for your response, your so kind, 🎶.. Andy 🎶
@@Starchaser63 🤗👍👍😁
This kinda stuff makes me feel old. Glad it doesn't do that to everyone though.☺
@@Beechgoose1 Makes me feel old and realise time is ticking by ....ha ha How depressing did that sound 🤣🤣If we dont laugh...we go insane whilst getting old at the same time haha Thank you for commenting and having a watch Beechgoose! 🤗
The 1980’s was a Great decade😎👍🏻
It sure was! One big happy non judgemental party ha ha Have a lovley afternoon! Thank you for commenting 🤗📺
In 1982, when I was 18, my poor grandmother died after a long time with dementia. My brother and I nursed her to the end, while my mother disappeared with her new boyfriend. When she died my brother and I found out that she left a fortune to the both of us, including property. We were very careful with the money. I'm 59 now and now I have to care of my mother, who at 87, has also developed dementia. That's my memory of 1982.
💔
Notice how much slimmer people were back then. I don't remember anyone being fat when I was a kid in the 80s. I vividly remember the first McD popping up on our nearest city when I was around 10. It's been a slow crawl towards am obese society since then.
Exactly. Now it wouldn't be "pinch an inch", would it?
But it's not mainly the likes of McDs etc that is causing people to be fat. I think the main cause is with the supermarkets with their processed foods, the GMOs, lack of nutrients in the fruit and vegs that has been stood too long in the shelf. Where do most shop? the supermarket. Also, another thing I think causing people to be fat is boredom. My kids are always bored, yet they have X Boxes, tablets, Switch's, internet etc, they rarely go outdoors to the field (of course I'm to blame) and this boredom makes them hungry and eating crap from the cupboard.
@@Embracing01 Fast food certainly has its place. But I agree it is not solely to blame. Inactivity is the worst thing for the young today. I don't buy cupboard snacks every grocery shop - only occasionally. It helps stop boredom grazing.
@@Embracing01 agreed. However, boredom can be turned into creativity and many kids these days aren't given the opportunity to be bored and create thier own fun. As an experience, why not remove all their usual gadgets for a week and tell them they'll have to make their own fun?
This experiment has been run with groups of kids loads of times and most will invent games or pick up a sport.
Everybody seemed to talk calmer & clearer back then, bring back the 80s. ❤️
"Good night to you and God bless"
Those really were better days
I loved that bit. I was still a child then. My father always said "Goodnight and God bless". I'd go back to 1982 in an instant to have all those back we've lost.
Incredible how these can recreate the feelings of childhood.
It really does doesnt it , emotionally zapps us right back alost as if we are really back there with our childhood suroundings and people we had around us back then too....Thank you for your very true comment ! Keep well , Sonique
The good old days where 13% of the population weren't being pathetically catered to.
Such a pity all my childhood memories of the 70’s and 80’s ruined by most my favorite presenters turning out to be nonces or sex offenders
Lol isn’t that coz we were children back then?
It's amazing how many people take comfort in these videos...when I feel not my best or things in the world feel too much this kind of thing feels really comforting. And I KNEW there was a different type of special K which wasn't flakes, I seem to be the only person who remembers it when I was about 5 in my grandma's cupboard! Thank you for posting.
I find it comforting too, I thought I might be the only one. It’s a real mix of emotions, I get the warmth and real nostalgic feels but there’s a big ache too, right in my chest. I struggle to accept it’s gone.
@@H2JUDsadly I know how you feel.
@@samwallace7313 Just as well we have this amazing platform to keep us where we want to be. Not much past 1995 goes on my telly. I keep Saturday evening tv exactly how it’s meant to be.
I remember the original Special-K! It tasted quite different to the second version that I don't like! ;)
@@marquonuk I have spent years thinking I imagined it all! lol I agree, was much nicer.
That Wrangler ad is well advanced for its time.
It was yes, i must agree...Wrangler were ahead of the game i think , thank you so much for commenting on this and have a brilliant Tuesday !
It reminds me of the Foster Grants adverts.
@@RetroReminiscing The Wrangler ad was directed by Godley and Crème who also wrote and recorded the "What's going on" music that accompanies it. The robotic dancers in the dummy outfits were Barbie Wilde and Tik and Tok.
Morning Jeff and thank you VERY much for this info on both thigs there Manythanks and have a great Tuesday, Sonique 🤗@@jeffknight904 👌👌
@@RetroReminiscing You're welcome, Sonique!
I was 11 and this was the best time of my life. I hate life today. There were virtually no Americanisms back then (cool, awesome etc.), girls with no tattoos or surgical implants, few fat people, no mobile phones or internet and less crime.
Girls with no tattoos. Remember them?
I agree, all those things caused the UK to go downhill. Everybody looks so hideous now with chavvy tattoos, I don't know why people think tattoos look good - and the use of Americanisms is so damn well annoying!! I hate all those stupid phrases!! (Another annoying thing is the word "like" in every sentence - : "I was like, yeah, I went out, like -" Grrr, don't talk in that way!!) And cosmetic surgery and cosmetic procedures are so hideous as well. Everything has gone downhill, descended.
@@rafiqadarr6217 Another thing "can I get" used everywhere, I don't know can you? Miss, the right question is "May I have" or " I would like" when asking for anything, usually at a bar. And Bollocks with that 'high five' sh*t
I turned 15 that year. Was pretty hard times in a single parent family but I'd go back in an instant with some of what I know now.
I can totally understand that! My muma dn dad got divorsed when I was 11 so from hen it was my mum only as my dad moved to France ...Thanks for sharing this and me too I would still go back despite the single parent thing....Have a great Sunday , Sonique 🤗🤗
Same. They were tough times but these little nuggets on tv were a joy to watch.
I was 19 back then, ah the memories 😊. No social media or Internet, I'd go back there tomorrow if I could.
100% 👍👍Stress levels and pressure form all angles these days and everyone just wants to be like each other ...it was unique back then 👍🤗
@@RetroReminiscing it was a bit of a blur too. I was drunk most of the time. Life was good 😂
🤣🤣🤣I don't think you will be alone in that department Sam ha ha 😆@@samwallace7313 👌
This was the year I was born and this is what I assumed the world would be like when I grew up. Things have changed to such an incredible degree that looking back now everything from that time seems foreign, imagery, social norms, technology and in some cases the world and the countries that exist within it. It's hard to explain to it all to people who weren't there but I guess that's just how it goes with each passing generation.
HI, you've said it as it is perfect 👌 and your minds eye glimpse into the future was correct 👍Thank you for watching this I put together and you were born in a good year 😃Have a nice night🤗
I was 11. Loved these times.
@@Simon-fr4ts Long hot summers, nostaligia..simple , relaxed, be yourself times....it's so stressfull in comparison these days....Thank you for leaving this comment I loved them too and wish i could go back whenever i feel like it which would be quite often hahaha Have a great weekend 🤗📺
Nostalgia is a lovely thing but how anyone can think things were better then bewilders me!!!
@@dmmoctober ... really! Although I'd prefer the 60s and 70s to go back to, the 80s weren't too bad, the decade when things started to go dowhill though. It was better because things were simpler, no internet bullying, companies answered telephones when you called them and didn't have those awful answer machines we have to contend with now, no cyber crime, no phone scammers, no mobile phone zombies and young folk had more manners and respect, and definitely no wokery. Kids could play out all day and go to school by themselves without worry. There was so much more I'd be here all day. Yes there was crime, always has been, but not on the level of today, stabbings were a rarity. Yes, some things are better now, but so much was better then.
The 80's will never be beaten.
👌😁🤗
I started my first job in March '82, saw Maiden at Bham Odeon the same month and that's all I remember! 😂
I saw Nik Kershaw there on Christmas Eve 1984 😊
Great time to grow up with our music geniuses ,before the computers destroyed the music business, real talent were concerts were in the hundreds of thousands these days concerts are much smaller and lipsinking is the norm now and a time were people didn't spend all their time stearing into a their mobile phone,great video thanks for the memories
Well said !!
Real talent? Did you not see Bananarama? Utter rubbish.
David Bowie, excellent. Such great memories thankyou, great programme.
Evening and thanks so much SuperLisalis 👌🤗Glad you like it especially the David Bowie 🎶 Have a great night and take care, Sonique 😁
I want to cry, I want to go back to my 3 year old self 😢
I remember that Christmas Two Ronnies particularly well, as it was the first christmas I had access to a tape recorder and a TV to record the audio from. I recorded all the songs and must have listened to them 100's of times to the point where I knew them off by heart. I recognised a few of the adverts, too. Something else I used to record the audio of. The novelty of being able to do that lasted a couple years, and I still have a couple of those old cassette tapes, now.
Same here , it was a great novelty for us back then and we really appreciated music more and lyrics...or buying an LP which had the lyrics of each song inside it ... So many things were much more appreciated and its great we have the memories and some of them physcial like your cassette tapes you have kept 👍👍😁
MAJOR MORGAN! Childhood memory unlocked. I remember tapping out basic tunes on that thing. What a weird toy.
HI Oh you had one! Your lucky as i dont remmeber having ine myself..i remember of them very well but just didnt have one Thanks for commenitng on good old Major Morgan 😁🤗🤗
I know! I had one but I don't think I understood quite how to use it...blast from the past indeed!!! 😊
I still have one! And a Speak and Spell. I need to drag them out of the attic soon to see if they are still working.
Watch the penultimate frame between Alex Higgins and Jimmy White in the '82 World Championship. That break that Alex plays to win the frame - which he needed to stay in the tournament - might be one of the greatest of all time.
I firmly believe that break cost Jimmy a world title, if he'd won the semi he'd have beat reardon, but losing that semi messed with his head
Jimmy might have won 5 or 6 world titles had Higgins not cleared up there.
My memories were watching Blue Peter. Black Beauty. Benji Zac and the Alien 👽 Prince. BattleStar Galatica repeats. Buck Rogers repeats. The 2 Ronnies. Generation Game. I was 6 then. The good old days. I miss them. Life was better then. ❤
Don't forget Heidi, International Story Time and Dr Who (when it used to be good!)
What I wouldn’t do to go back I day in the 80’s
Snap 😊👌
If you can pinch more than an inch! Can you imagine saying that to one of them body positive types you get these days! That would go down like a cold bag of sick!
True ha ha!
I miss It’s a Knockout. Loved it when I was young.
I loved its a knockout and have lots of memories of my mum in hysterics watching iy with me Thanks for stopping by and have a great Tuesday! Sonique 🤗
@@RetroReminiscing thanks for putting the video together 😊
@@GreenGiant2007 Thank you so much for leaving this comment of thanks, its really nice Thank you ! 🤗
Even though I was only six I remember a lot of this, I was a telly addict...A really well curated set of clips, I love the computer one. My parents were married for ten years before I came along and I remember wanting to be born earlier so I could have been a teenager in the 80s, my favourite decade (especially for music videos). And I sort of was. I turned 13 in April 1989! So 9 months of 80s teenagerhood hooray. Thanks for this - I'm having a bad day and it cheered me up 😊
Morning! Really nice to read that and I am more or less the same age as you give or take one year i think so I can relate to that part of you wishing you could have actually been a teenager in the 80;s I always wish that too... I wish I could have been able to go to the 80's night clubs for the music but I was just a bit too young and unfortuantley landed on acid 90's music instead when i was a teen ager ish which I hated ....70s or 80s dancefloors are the best! I hope your bad day transforms into a better one as today goes by and it was lovely to read your comment Many thanks and my best wishes to you , Sonique 🤗📺
I remember the first gig I ever went to was Alice Cooper at the Birmingham NEC. It was on the first Monday in December 1989. My dad took me, bless him, and we had to leave at 10pm as I had school the next day. So we missed "School's Out"! Slightly ironic! But I loved my teenage gigs
@@FishpondsLady How ironic indeed! 😃Of all the songs to miss and the reason why you missed it haha! Aww at least you have the great memories of that concert and your dad who took you there.....things and people change along with the times but no one can ever erase the memories in our minds and hearts 👍🤗
@@RetroReminiscing My dad was brill. He took me to Robert Plant when I was in the middle of my GCSEs.
My mum was worried about my grades but I did fine and when we were driving back my dad (who loved opera) said "I have to say, that man can sing".
To be honest it was pretty dire in the 1980's. I was 18 in 82 and on the dole. The music was terrible, winters were a lot colder, it was tough. Still there good times too.
We only had 4 channels and the Tv was much better quality then than the rubbish of today.
Oh I know, and good old Brookside and the tube were on the 4th channel wern't they he he Thank you and have a great Tuesday!
I was an electrician working underground in a coal mine at this time. This is the rubbish I had to look forward to after work.
Thats not good is it after a day stuck under there aswell! Not the best of memories for yourself then....Hope your having a great afternoon and thanks for leaving this comment, Sonique
Maggie fixed that 😢
@@HuplesCat 👍👍
Jeez! I was in my mid-20’s then. Knew nothing about ABC except I really wanted (and nearly bought) a shiny silver-grey suit á la Martin Fry. Mrs told me to behave!
AAAHHHH HA HA ! Hey, youd of looked the part ! 👌👌😍 Dazzling ! 😆🤗
Damn I miss the 80s 😭❤️
Same here !
Yea me too Such good happy times😢
Wow the lady at the end reminding you to turn off your TV and unplug it from the wall lol
Have you noticed how it's practically impossible to do a 70's /80's British TV compilation video these days without inadvertently including at least one kiddy fiddler?
Who was it in this complication? I didn't see any
Exactly. If you want to see the sex offenders register, just look at any issue of the Radio Times from the 1970s.
@@apkelly01 Stuart Hall from It's A Knockout
@beebopvroop5218 ah thanks for that. I thought it was Jimmy Saville near the beginning, but then saw it was Chris Tarrant....same hair lol. Forgot about Stuart Hall
I went to an it’s a knockout in about 1975 when I was 10 filmed on the Racecourse in Northampton , good job Stuart Hall never noticed me , as Micky Flanagan says “I was stunner in those days “
I was 8 in this year. Was one of my favourite years. I lived in Scotland. Xmas 82 we had snow. I didn't get many presents as we did not have much money. But I just loved that Christmas. Shame I had to move in 83 :(
Hi ! Just goes to prove that money is not what matters and despite not having any , some of the best memories you will ever keep can be made...all you need is the right people around you , love and your health (oh and a year from the 80's is an added bonus!) Thank you very much for your comment , Sonque 🤗👌
@@RetroReminiscing Thanks for the video. Take care
It's great to look back. Amazing how the brain works, you instantly remember those times and programs although they was so long ago
Morning and thanks for dropping by! Yes it really is, the brain is such a clever thing and stores everything literally and even when we smell a particular scent it can trigger a flash back of someone or a place..its amazing and i love it! Many thanks and enjoy your Sunday! Sonique 🤗
3:25 And 41 years later, this has landed well.
I was thinking that - of course scifi writers were thinking about this already, but it's eerie looking back now.
Did we prepare for it? Not even slightly, and the only people preparing for it now are folks who want to remove all our freedoms, so they're not really thinking about "human dignity" as this chap does
Thank you for putting this together.
Absolutely loved it...
The nostalgia there is wonderful. Wolill watch the others...Well done 😊😊
Thank you for this! Nice comments like yours make me want to make more and i have started a 1975 one, 1986 and a 90s one too Hhave a lovely evening and take care ,Sonique 👍🤗📺

1982, Peter Davison debuted as The Doctor.
That Wrangler ad was really good considering that it’s (gulp) forty years old.
So that's why I went out every night back then🤔

Major Morgan! Memory unlocked 😂
👌😁😁🤗
Gorgeous Martini advert.
It was nice to see my hometown of Boston in this assortment of clips. Like a similar comment i was born in 1971 so this is all very much familiar
so many TV channels in 1982!
Are you trying to be sarcy? You do remember there was only FOUR channels on British TV in 1982?
Wonderful video , so many great memories of just turning 20
Very pleased you liked i and wishing you a great weekend 🤗👌
@@RetroReminiscing It was wonderful viewing , funny , sad , nostalgic all one after the other . Simpler times and a better country .

he he he he 😆🤗At least you can say you remember the good old days and simplicity and less stress 🤗
Old no you’re not !
The most shocking thing is how much I remember, I was 11 in '82. Hehe
It's amazing just how much our brains take in, record and store all our life burried just waiting to pop up when we next see something similar or the same many years later...

I was born the sixties and so early teens at this point. I know many have said the same thing. We thought it would never end and would always be like this. We certainly didn't know we had front row seats to the last slices of history or how odd the world would become. Thanks

So well described...I'm 54 and can't agree more 😊
Pinch more than inch is now pinch more than a foot.
🤣🤣🤣oh yes !!!!!
Nice to see a short clip from Channel Television (the announcer explaining changes to the programming schedule).
Oh yes ... and the way he spoke..Presenters on both TV and radio spoke with more manners back then 👍Thank you for watching! Sonique🤗📺
I really enjoyed this! I love delving into the past. I recently discovered the online archive of Argos catalogues dating back to the early 70s and spent all weekend looking through them!
Going back to these clips, oh my goodness! 99p for a 3-minute telephone call to Europe. Was that supposed to be cheap? Sounds like a bloody fortune. I doubt it'd even be 20p nowadays. What was that stupid woman doing rushing around the city with a glass of Campari on a tray? I didn't get that one! That BBC2 ident!!! Wow!
Hi! Im really glad you liked watching it and it bringing back soe meories and thoughts of that era..plus the comparisons like the one you just pointed out about phone calls ! Yes, you had to have quite a bit of money to ring abroad! either that or wait about a week for a handwritten letter ha ha ! Everything is so much more accessible these days, yet I still would go back to simplicity and a more relaxed time like that in a flash! Thank you for leaving your great comment and enjoy your weekend! Sonique
the world was slower then.

@@RetroReminiscing OMG! I saw Sooty live, as well! Me, my brother, mum and dad saw them live a couple of times in the very early eighties. At the end of the show they called some of us kids onto the stage to dance with Mathew and the cast💃. I remember there was a guy in a horse costume dancing with us🐴😂. At the very end of the show they threw handfuls of PEZ sweets into the audience for all the kids. We stayed until after most people had gone and me and my brother went up and down the aisles picking up all the sweets people had missed🍬. I think we went the and saw the show in about 1980 - 1982 so it would've been about the same time you saw it. We went at Christmas instead of going to a panto. Such great memories❤️
I miss bowie 😢
He was fantastic wasnt he! 👍🤗🎶Have a great Sunday and thank you for the comment , take care Sonique 🤗
We still have Gary Newman...who was more innovative? Came up from France last year with GN live,he's never aged,so far ahead of time...no Newman, no Trent Reznor,no Marilyn Manson,etc,etc?
The good old days when we still had something you could call a country and a people.
1982 saw the start of a Belgian football team that went further than the first round. We were so proud, especially because we won the opening game against former world champion Argentina. A year later, when I had just turned 11, I met the hero who scored the winning goal. For a kid my age life couldn't get better than this.
1982 was also the first 'true' 80's year. No more disco, no more punk, no more 70's bad taste clothing. We had synth and pop instead, we had Michael Jackson, and the first home computers.
In 1982 there were so many technological breakthroughs. Suddenly everything seemed possible. And it would all happen in the magical year 2000. Or so we thought.
That was a brilliant little summary to read and so accurate! Thank you very much !! and wow what a fantastic memory you have had for life since 1983! Not everyone gets to do that! Superb!
@@RetroReminiscing It was on a Thursday before Easter. After the football training where we had a surprise visit from our hero (Erwin Vandenbergh) we were told to go to the nearby church to attend mass. Erwin Vandenbergh decided to join us. And he sat right next to me! The priest kept waffling on about God, but as far as this 11 yr old kid was concerned, I was already in God's presence.
Life was simple back in the 80's. Everyone had fun. People were genuine. No influencers and followers. What has become of our world?

100% Julia! 😆😆👍
The reindeers advertising Sweden as a tourist destination...stuck in my head for 40yrs 😂
@@williamrae9954 it’s crazy what we can remember from so far back.
00:36 I always found it funny on "Fame" that they would get annoyed in class when they couldn't get a dance sequence right or perform properly but an unrehearsed spontaneous moment out in the street or in the lunch hall they could hit the mark from the get go.
Excellent upload 😊
📺Hope it brought back some nice memories for you David 🤗
Thank you ❤
Thank you very much Bridget and have a lovely Thursday!
The Martini music always takes me back. In my case to the 70's.

Low calorie - with a heaped teaspoon of sugar.
@@370530e 🤣🤣 True
@@370530e People used to do that with normal cornflakes which are already packed with sugar. I honestly don't know why more people didn't have diabetes.
Not if you can't afford cereal.
"Let's pretend"! 🥰
I remember Halloween of that year, all the kids dressed as either a "Kid from Fame" or Boy George 😂
Especially the girls
1982 Knight Rider first came on our screens. 😊
Loved Knight Rider! Magocal car ...and Herbie the other car with a 53 on the bonnet ha ha Thanks for mentioning Knight Rider ! Have a lovely afternoon, Sonique 🤗
Where is Sapphire and Steel, Dr Who, Adventure Game, Max Headroom, Crystal Maze... so much good British TV!
Max Headroo is in my 1986 one 👌👌🤗
Sapphire and Steel? What ever happened to their follow-up series? "Kittens & Biscuits", I did catch "Brick & Spunk" once... wasn't as good, not as good as "Tadpoles & Mahagonny"
That will be just 4 channels then 😊, and channel 4 only squeezes into 1982 by the skin of its teeth, launched in November of that year.
👍👍👍👍😁🤗
An hour with Gary Numan, yes please! Bananarama, Visage, Culture Club, the 2 Ronnies, and a reminder to turn the tv off , how good were the 80's😅
👍👍😁
American Express ad :
Mike Berry , a small-faced man, with a small, thin, tiny, smiley face and close eyes and big nose, and always with big, big, lot's of thick, un-groomed, central-parted, light brown hair, who had a fleeting 60's pop career.
But with connections which gave him innumerable roles in shows like : 'Are you being served ' and dozens of adverts in the 70's and 80's. He made very talent go a long way.
I remember the "Let's Pretend" song from being very young.
Not sure what happened in the show though.
Oh my god, let's pretend! I had totally forgot about that! Thank you so much..I will be doing soe googling now ha ha Hhave a great night, Sonique
Major Morgan.... oh my...MEMORIES ❤❤❤❤
HI! yes Major Morgan he he I never actually had one of those but a couple of my friends did i think ..i certainley rememeber them well Thank you for stopping by ! Have a great week, Sonique
Shame there was no mention of Countdown being the first Channel 4 show, but otherwise brought back alot of memories.
There wasn’t a Channel 4 in 1982
Not until November
@@leabrown9305lol still 1982 though
@@TayWoode yeah fair point 😅
Born in 76 so was 6yrs old in 82.. I remember Fame My Gos how annoying that show is looking back, All those Drama/Theatre school students 😡 . Great to look back to things you have forgotten. Happy times.😊
Hi Claire...thanks so much for commenting and I personally cant stand anything that is drama/musicals etc.... ha ha I like fame the song but only because it brings back memories of that particular year and my parents etc.... bjut yes very annoying indeed ha ha Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by 🤗😁

This just came up in my you tube recommendations i like Debbie Harrys pink tights 😁.
Hahhahaha ! So do i actually 👌Wouldnt have the guts to wear that colour though 😆
Loooved bananarama!!
It is a land gone - like the wind, for the wind of change has sweep through these isles
It’s so hard to get Basset’s liquorice Allsorts here in Australia. And Maynard’s Wine Gums.
It’s some achievement that it was close to forty years before Autotune became advanced enough for Bananarama to perform live.
don't know about the other two but Siobhan Fahey has a great voice. Shakespear's Sister were fantastic.
😂
It would take more than auto-tune to make them sound good.
@@ronwhite8503 ooooh... now I didn't say it made them sound GOOD!
Just that it's got advanced enough that they can get on a stage.
I really enjoyed the gameshow near the middle of the video, what was it called again......?
H! Thanks for asking, I think you are meaning 'It's a knock out ' It was so coical and lots of fun!🤗👌
@@RetroReminiscing yes thats the one, dont think I've seen it for 40 years :P
@@thabudmaster Have a great wee and im glad you found this long lost show! 😁🤗
The UK premiere of "Star Wars" on ITV for this year.
For anyone who would like to flick years to 1984 , here is a link for my condensed version , hope you like it and it takes you back in time for a short while 🤗 th-cam.com/video/cF6GoTt3UIM/w-d-xo.html
Glad I was an 80,s kid
