We grew up in the UK from 1970 to 1990. This show is all about the two of us looking back and putting bits of our shared past under the microscope, from the early ‘80s ‘Protect and Survive’ /Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear panic, to the theme music from The Incredible Hulk; from Wimpy Burgers to wimpy Orac from Blake’s 7; from the Falklands War to Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus.

We're Back! We said we would make another show and we have done what we said we would do. Not out of contractual obligation, but - to be clear - it was absolutely the right thing to do. It's Episode 9, and this month finds Vince sailing very close to the wind as he trashes The Amityville Horror franchise. Jeremy gets all misty eyed as he recalls hi…

Spring is in the air! We don wellies, raincoats and natty hats to take a gentle stroll through the verdant splendour of the English countryside. Jeremy wonders why the fields and hedgerows were littered with discarded top shelf porn mags in various states of destruction, and traces the decline of the paper smut industry. Our randomly picked UK Numb…

'Everybody was Kung Fu fighting' (according to Carl Douglas) in 1974. But were they really? Most of the populous were trying to create a diversion so they could get the hell out of there before testing out their rudimentary martial arts skills in a gang warfare scenario.

This time we are discussing the Big Snow of '82. Vince's memory plays tricks on him, as he waxes lyrical about the early 80's and an imagined, continuous, Winter Wonderland. Jeremy remembers the smell of greasepaint, the roar of the crowd, the whiff of methane, and ripping his trews, as he reminisces about his days treading the boards in '83. We ra…
