AIBU to think this random 80s fashion documentary is ace?

Surely I’m not being unreasonable to think this BBC 1986 Forty Minutes programme is bloody marvellous?

Feeling nostalgic I stumbled upon this YouTube video entitled The Englishwoman’s Wardrobe from the 80s. Interviewing women from a lady who gets designer items from jumble sales (I miss them) for 20p to Selina Scott having the Emmanuels tailor a silk suit.

After having a pretty shit time recently it really cheered me up! Even Thatcher is interviewed in front of a rail of her outfits whilst telling the interviewer how she keeps her pussy bows stiff 😂

If it was smell-a-vision you'd have picked up Old Spice, Kouros and Brut 😁

I love brut , it still smells the same now

I quite like Kouros. It reminds me of my dad coming in from a night out.
Same as Miss Dior for my mum.

Looks brilliant. I think of the 90s as being my 'era' but recently watched Rivals on Disney+, which is set in 86/87 and all the music was bringing back amazing memories.
