Anyone watching I love the '80s on BBC2?

[thornrose]

Oops upside your head, get on the floor...

I can remember masses of lyrics too Sparkling. My dd is the age now that I was in 1980 I'm wondering which lyrics she'll remember in 30 years time!

It's downright spooky how well I remember some 80s music. DH heard an intro, said "who was this?" and I just went "Teardrop Explodes" without even thinking. I can't have thought about Teardrop Explodes for 25+ years. Will our DCs be the same with the 2010s music, do you think?

Hassled my thoughts exactly ^^!

Did anyone just watch French and Saunders? hahahahaha that dinner party sketch,

The fast walkers/gymnastics sketch had me in hysterics.

Am loving this. Had forgotten about Raw Sex - have always had a bizarre crush on Roland Rivron...

Duran Duran next! Am constantly surprised that I never married John Taylor.

Oi tea he was mine. But failing that George Michael was to marry me.

Oh my word Andy Taylor's hair.

Nick Rhodes birthday tomorrow.

God, I loved them so much. I remember our house got burgled whilst we were on holiday one year, I must've been about 13 or 14. All my mum's jewellery was taken, tv, video etc - the first thing I did was race upstairs to make sure they'd not taken my Duran posters . Posters ffs!

Duran Duran, now they were a band. < sigh >

Oops, that was meant to be sparkling

Ever last newspaper clipping still in my loft now tea. It's priceless to me.

Sing, play instruments and write their own music. Class.

This version of My Own Way so much better than the album version.

Poor Andy. He really was the ugly duckling.

Oops didn't know if that link would work! My favourite band of the 80s, Japan.

David Sylvian was very beautiful but JT just pips it for me.

Did Andy write the songs? That's the usual explanation for the ugly one.

What's AT got on his head?

I had all the tour videos as week...Sing Blue Silver, Arena... my mate Amanda and I would watch them over and over and over again every weekend.

David Sylvian hasn't aged well unfortunately. ( sad, like James Spader, another beautiful man) Time is cruel!

No-it was mainly SLB Swedish. Andy just played geetar.

Yes, David Sylvian was utterly beautiful. But a little too ethereal and untouchable for my 13-year-old self, I think.

I watched Sing Blue Silver very recently. It's on You Tube in 4 bits IIRC. Brilliant it was.
