Growing Up With Vince & Jeremy
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 look back with fondness and bafflement and sometimes with abject disbelief at what life was like when we were growing up.
Growing Up With Vince & Jeremy
04 Quicker Than The Human Eye ... (Ninjas, Kung Fu and David Soul)
'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 month Vince takes a look into the burgeoning disciplines that really took hold in the 70's and 80's.
Meanwhile, Jeremy remembers the polymath, David Soul. He could act! He could sing! He could fracture a number of bones in his lower back, jumping 15 feet, ass first, on to the roof of a car!
As always we discuss another UK No 1 and this month it's the turn of 311, 'Without You' by Nilsson.
