Yo yo! Welcome to this addition of back in the 80s, the only show where you get to hear the best of the 80s and share those memories that we can not be shameful to admit!

Last week snow, this week rain, then sun, i think we are having all the seasons in one month! Crikey!!

But all that weather did not stop all listeners tuning in asking for their fantastic requests and good cheer! Hope you enjoyed the show and thanks for tuning! Come again next week!

The first of my top 3 this week on the first hour was the top 3 songs of 1985 and boy what a year it was for songs! My top 3 were; Shout By Tears For Fears at 3, I want to know what love is By Foreigner at 2 and at no. 1 Take on Me By A-Ha.

On my second half of the show, my top 3 from my 1980s featured Artist for this week was daughter of rock and roller Marty Wilde and a garden supreme Kim Wilde. My top 3 were; Love Blonde at 3 from 1983, You Keep Me Hanging On at 2 from 1987 and at no. 1 was Kims first big hit from 1981 Kids In America!

My 1980s TV recommendation for this week is tacky TV quiz show Bullseye! Remember Bendy Bullys, Jim Bowens famous catchphrase, 'This is what you could have won,'' and speed boats! Recapture these moments when you can catch this programme every day on Challenge TV Sky Channel 125!

My 1980s Film recommendation for this week is the almighty classic Gandhi, a true story of an man who changed his society forever! Winner of many oscars in 1983 and directed by Richard Attenborough this is a classic that is well worth a watch as it has alot to say. This is now availble to buy on DVD, from all specialist retailists.
