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
06 Hey! Gotta No Respect? ... (The Death Of John Lennon 1980, There's No One Quite Like Grandma 1980 and Stock, Aitken, and Waterman 1984 Onwards)
We have reached the halfway point of Season 1, and Jeremy brings the dreadful events of December 1980 to the show. The death of John Lennon and how it affected him at the age of 10.
Vince recalls the heady days of Stock, Aitken, and Waterman when they were omnipresent and every other song in the charts was helmed by them.
As always, we discuss a randomised No 1 and this time it's 472. 'There's No One Quite Like Grandma' by St Winifed's School Choir.
