This month we celebrate 40 years of an iconic year, 1985. DJ Johnny Kailfornia (Radio 2’s Sounds of the ‘80s) joins us for a set of pure 1985 pop. Plus we’ll have classic 1985 clips on the big screens, and Residents Paul and Gareth will be playing tunes from across the decade.
1985. It’s the year we were introduced to Whitney Houston and A-Ha, Kate Bush released her Hounds of Love album, Madonna starred in Desperately Seeking Susan and released ‘Into The Groove’ from its soundtrack while Tina Turner ruled over Mad Max III Beyond Thunderdome and released its epic ‘We Don’t Need Another Hero’. At the movies we were watching Back To The Future, The Goonies, Return to Oz and Cocoon.
In UK TV we made our first trip to Albert Square, while Howards Way aimed to be a glossier soap. We met Super Gran and T Bag and Cilla hooked up her first ever Blind Date. Over the pond the Dukes of Hazzard too their last drive, The Golden Girls started and Dynasty aired its big Moldvan Wedding Massacre.
