This came out in about 2007 and was talking about the 80s, so 20 year ago (as it was). So the 2000s are to the 2020s what the 80s were to the 2000s. Maybe its an age thing but i swear the 2000s don't feel as long ago as the 80s did in the 2000s.
I was a child in the 60's (loved it), a teenager in the 70's (loved the first 8 years of it) then along came punk (hated it) and i absolutely loathed the 80's. I hated the music, the tv programmes, the fashions... all of it.... and it's gone all downhill every decade since then.
15:24 Refreshingly honest 19:24 "He wasn't a Nazi... but he was a member of the party." ...er, ok. 49:02 Her look is priceless. Thank you for uploading this fascinating documentary.
Hate to break it to him. But, the guy in the white T-shirt, who was talking about the mullet hair style. Guess what, in twenty years or more, people are going to be saying the same about that Justin Bieber hair cut he has.
I loved and lived the 80’s. All the different genres. I look back with fondness going through secondary school through to my 1st full time job. There was some obvious dross, like the tweetie song and agadoo. But moreover there was some great music. The 80’s indie was also on fire. 2 bands a week, Leeds warehouse, Sheffield leadmill, Manchester Apollo and hacienda. Take me back……❤
I loved the mid eighties 😀. I was an Estate Agent and earned a load of money. Went to night clubs 2 to 3 times a week. The women were well dressed, immaculate and spent time on big hair. I loved it ! Unfortunately, it disappeared in the early 1990 with the collapse of the property market. I changed careers and ended up as a painter and decorator. But I still loved my life in the 80’s. My life now has provided a trade I can always rely on. The career then was short lived.
I just don't get it. What the hell is so wrong about greed and money?! I love greed and money. And I love Thatcher and Reagan. 80s and 90s way better than nowadays when traitorous pacifists March in support for raggies. Around early 2000s I estimate, was when shit really hit the fan.... with all this pc bullshit etc. I miss the good ol days!
I would agree that there is much about the 1980s that we can now criticise but 13 years on from this programme we can see it was only a beginning. The me, me, me generation of the 80s is nothing compared to today where an almost vanishingly small minority seem to be dictating how we should behave and they will take great offence if you don't agree.
Oh yes, that nouvelle cuisine shit. I had actually banned it from my memory. I was on holidays with my parents in France and the hotel we stayed in served nothing but nouvelle cuisine. After the second day we would walk out of the hotel after having been served our dinner and go straight to the little restaurant accoss the square that would serve proper food, for all the waiters to see
I think the 80's was the best time to be alive, we lived for the moment, everything about it was amazing, wish we had Thatcher back too, she got bigger balls than any of our corrupt politicians today! If I could turn back time I would.
Looking back at the 80’s I rather have Roland Rat, Emu, Orville, Basil Brush, Gordon The Gopher, Larry The Loafer, Zippy, Spit The Dog, Sooty and Sweep than the man who plagued our screens Jimmy Saville! Larry The Loafer was a squirrel puppet that squeaked like Gordon The Gopher and was a skit on The Brian Conley Show called Nick Frisbee Show where Brian as Nick was a children’s presenter with his puppet sidekick Larry The Loafer which was a pissed take out of children’s show Go Live on which Gordon was on. And it always came down to Nick Frisbee hitting Larry with a fake wooden club shaped like a baseball bat and Larry would squeak and shake in pain and fear with the audience saying “ahhhhhhh” and Nick would say “It’s a puppet”
I was born in 81 and growing up in the 80’s was great, I preferred the 90’s the 2000’s were ok and since the 2010’s it’s been like falling off a high cliff. It keeps getting worse as time passes and I know at some point it’s all going to come to a screeching halt and I’ll be dead. But in the 80’s there was good music, kids cartoons were great and movies were great too with so many classic films that you can watch today and say that film made me feel good and I can watch it again and again where as films today are mainly disappointing and if there is one film that you enjoyed it doesn’t have the ability to make you rewatch it more than another 1 or 2 times like the Indiana Jones & Back To The Future trilogies or The Goonies, Ghostbusters plus many more movies. I could go on but really the only bad things to come out in the 80’s was the fashion and the hair especially the hair! Also AIDS was a big bad thing in the 80’s but it never effected me or most kids growing up in the 80’s.
love him, hes the best, could listen all day, but he needs to understand how to chat back n forth in a studio setting, they have 15min max, he doesn't read peoples facial cues to move on, but i dont mind personally cos i love everything he's done hes a one man band and so inspiring and honest. hes a decent guy behind the scenes too
Ronald Regan spent more of his life in university, as a union leader, as a governor, and eventually as President than he ever did as an actor. I think less than 10 years as an actor. So to sum up 8 years as president, 8 as governor, and more than 10 as a union leader, and finally 10 as an actor. I don't like him but I give credit where credit is due,
I did security at a rally and mark steel did a great speech there. I managed to speak to him so told him I really liked his speech. The bloke was completely, unrealistically arrogant! Haven't paid attention to a word he's said since. Twat
