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
07 Accidentally Putting on Glitter (The launch of Channel 4 in 1982 and its first year of broadcasting / Rock Your Baby by George McCrae from 1974 / Glam Rock from 1970 - 1974 and the Chinn and Chapman songwriting partnership)
Vince enthuses about the launch of the UK's fourth channel back in November 1982, and how exciting Channel 4 was in its infancy, with its remit of providing alternative programming and showcasing contemporary art. Plus scary animations!
Our randomly-selected UK Number 1 is 1974's proto-disco Rock Your Baby by George McCrae.
Jeremy dons platforms and glitter and gives a brief rundown of the birth, heyday and decline of Glam Rock, and pays respect to the Glam Rock era hit songwriters Chinn and Chapman.
