A more sensible title for this episode would have been "Spam", but I'm not going to risk it getting algorithmically marked, blocked and binned - so I've gone for something else. May 1978 saw the first ever unwanted mass-email and the first ever early May Bank Holiday in the UK which was, surprisingly, similarly poorly received - and all this happened to a backdrop of Boney M.
There's loads of additional viewing/listening for this one, so once you've finished, feel free to get stuck-in to the following...
* The full story of Charlie Chaplin's grave was covered in our March 1978 episode.
* For more on Boney M check out our interview with writer and star of the Mary's Boy Child video - the very funny Anna Jordan.
* And if you want to see people moaning about being given a day off, check out this BBC video of the first May Day Bank Holiday. The Union Jack pinny/PVC Mac combo will shortly be available in the I'm So Not Over It shop.
