I had a ball on my first GR80’s show. Get in touch with your 80’s fashion loves and hates, your Favourite TV Shows and Films. What was the first record you bought in the 1980’s and any other 80’s stories you’d love to share.

Miriam Scott’s favourite 80’s track was Vienna by Ultravox. Katy Carpenter remembered that she was quite a whizz at the Snake – a similar puzzle to the Rubik Cube.
Victoria admitted her worst 80’s outfit was orange leggings and a matching orange sweatshirt, whilst Jane loved her ra-ra skirts made by her mum!

Venus Williams was born this week in 1980, and Lee Ryan was born this week in 1983.

Channel4 started on 2 Nov 1982, and in 1987 President Ronald Regan publicly challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.

Tamsyn’s fave film was Dirty Dancing, but mine and my cousin’s was Pretty In Pink!
