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.

05 Put The Needle On The Record ... (A Ghost Story For Christmas 1971-79, Pump Up The Volume by M/A/R/R/S 1987 and Betamax vs VHS 1975-84)
This time around, Vince discusses his fondness for the 'A Ghost Story For Christmas' strand that made its welcome, annual tv appearance when he was young. Meanwhile, Jeremy remembers the warring formats at the heart of the home recording epoch at the beginning of the 80's.
This month we head to the 1980's for the first time as our randomiser selects number 598, 'Pump Up The Volume' by M/A/R/R/S.
