We were fair hornswoggled here at '80s Actual Towers to realise that Chrimbo was on yonder horizon again, and that somebody had made a clock out of a Now That's What I Call Music Volume 5 cassette case from 1985! Love it!
Now is the time to give '80s-themed gifts, and look back on memories from that most golden of decades... the glorious deelyboppers debut of 1982, for instance, or Anneka Rice being flunked by a dwyle in 1987... such happy, happy days!
Well, tis the season to get George out of the cupboard. George? you ask. Yus, we reply - George the bear who was rescued from being thrown out at a charity shop by Andrew, who was doing some voluntary work there a couple of years ago. George is incredibly cuddly and lovable, but has the regrettable habit of bursting into Last Christmas whenever his "TRY ME!" (very enticing!) foot is squeezed. Never mind. we love 'im anyway!
Coming soon, we have the first part of our BIG 1980s Lyrics Quiz ("qua qua fa diddily qua qua") and a look at the making of the first series of the highly esteemed kids' telly show Press Gang in 1988 (first broadcast in early 1989).
Have a lovely Christmas. We hope you get all your heart desires. And remember... more is more.

Happy New Year...loving the 80's radio on radio 2 tonight..
Been listening to "Now That's What I Call Music" volumes 4,5,6 and 7 on cassette this evening. Loving every minute. '80s music is simply the best. A time when exciting new things were happening, and the pop song formula was perfected. Happy New Year when it arrives, Peter.
Good thing my mum kept her old NOW albums from the 80's (and 90's too). The old ones make such great time capsules, not just for including the big chart hits but the oddities that time forgot.
I've got NOW 13, original CD album, sadly it fell and cracked a few weeks ago! :(
