Pierrots.

I had a poster; did anyone have an actual doll?

Was this made in the 90s or have the Human League girls just not aged at all? They must be the same age as me, or a bit older - bloody hell they look good.

Tales of the Unexpected! That used to freak the hell out of me. There was one about bees that was awful.

It must be a repeat as Victoria Coren looks extremely fresh-faced. Ditto Jamie Theakston.

My aunt had Pierrots all over her house, well into the 90s until they disappeared.
Just how old is this though, cant even name half the 'celebs' commenting as they havent been on tv for yonks!

2001 - phew. I still looked OK in 2001. I am not the raddled old bag compared to the Human League girls I thought I was.

Yes! I knew it must be quite old as isn't Larry Hagman dead now? Commenting celebs v annoying. The footage is the best.

Hello!! It's my decade. Duran Duran later!

1980 a wee bit early for me. I loved the Human League though. Don't remember Kickers/Pacman/Pierrot much.

Barbara Woodhouse Strangling dogs with choke chains. Sad

Sheena Eason's aged VERY well! She looks like she could be her own daughter...

We need a new Babs. Except maybe with less emphasis on choking dogs (unless that is acceptable - I know nothing).

The 80s is my decade too - O Levels in 1982, yet by the time the decade ended I was married with 2 kids. Seems surreal now.

My aunt had Pierrot pictures framed on her walls. Confused

Nigella Lawson as a talking head?

When was this filmed?

Smash Hits. I had it delivered. I covered my school books with the posters out of the middle and learnt all the words from the songs.

I can remember all the lyrics to hundreds of 80s songs for no apparent reason.
