1980's nostalgia

Ah the 80's....Thundercats, The Racoons, Going Live, Grange Hill, Neighbours and being oddly traumatised when Tasha Yar was killed off in Star Trek The Next Generation! Happy days!

Dungeons & Dragons, Rentaghost and Knightmare. Proper children's television 👍

I remember Dungeos And Dragons. Incidentally the entire series of He-Man has just been added to Netflix so that's tomorrow afternoon sorted!

My sister was absolutely terrified of her.

I can still remember her diving behind the sofa screaming and crying 😆

Maybe it's the colour green as the Incredible Hulk used to scare me 😒

Anyone remember Puddle Lane?

Maybe we should start an 80s nostalgia thread?

Brilliant!

It was a bit before my time but I don't think anything says 80s more than this. Priscilla Presley was bloody gorgeous back in the day!

Makes me feel so old - well I am old actually. The 1980s seem like yesterday. Having been born towards the end of WW2 I was approaching my 40s when the 80s dawned. Our kids were 12 and 10 in 1980 but I honestly can't recall much of the 'pop music' or popular television of that time. I was never a great tv watcher and don't watch much now.

Ask me about the 50s and early 60s and that's a different matter. I could recite the FA Cup winners and scores of all the matches in the 1950s but can't remember who won it last year or in any year since about 1970 although I've watched nearly all the finals (on the telly - one of the few occasions I look at the box). It seems that early memories lodge in the brain for easy recall but as you grow older it's more difficult to dredge the brain for memories of later events with accuracy. That seems the case with me anyway.

Going back to the 80s, I seem to remember our daughter was keen on someone called Adam and the Ants? - has anyone heard of him/them?

Just for you Yokel....

I'm sure you can recall who won the league cup in 1963? 😉

Ah, the private Brummie party👍

I'm actually enjoying this thread because I'm learning things about the 1980s that passed me by at the time.
