We all used the high street shops, because there was no such thing as the internet! James tries to explain the concept of a ‘department store’, Andy likes to be guided to the correct item by a man in a brown overall, and what did you do when you got home and found the item you’d just bought DIDN’T COME WITH A PLUG!
80s Holidays in the UK and even somewhere foreign. Bonjour! How did dad manage to drive with the map blocking his entire view, why couldn't the French speak English, who got the better deal on a foreign exchange visit, and what were travel sweets all about?
Also, travel games for the car, Andy tests James' car knowledge with Top Trumps. And win a Tee Shirt! Fish paste sandwich anyone?
In this episode: Trying to record the top 40 without the DJ! Do you remember how hard it was to hit the pause button at just the right time? Plus Top of the Pops, going to Woolworths to buy this week's number one, and guess who has the very first 'Now That's What I Call Music' in his collection.
There's a brand new mystery sound that James 'almost' gives away the answer to, so if you want to win tickets to his Bring Back The 80s tour or a super soft tee shirt, make sure to enter the draw. The winner will be announced in Episode 6.
Who was your crush? Was it Kylie, Sam Fox, the boys from Wham! or the man carrying the tyres on that poster from the poster shop Athena? And what was page 3 all about anyway.
