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.

09 How Come You Tell So Many Lies? (Amityville Horror / Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel / Jeremy's First Gigs
We're Back!
We said we would make another show and we have done what we said we would do. Not out of contractual obligation, but - to be clear - it was absolutely the right thing to do.
It's Episode 9, and this month finds Vince sailing very close to the wind as he trashes The Amityville Horror franchise.
Jeremy gets all misty eyed as he recalls his first forays into the world of live music and looks forward to gigs yet to come.
As always, we discuss a UK number 1 from 1970-1990. This month, we bid adieu to Steve Harley (who sadly passed in March of this year) and tip our hats to number 366, Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me).
James Brolin (George Lutz in The Amityville Horror, 1979) screentesting for James Bond (circa 82 or 83). Roger Moore would resume the role for a sixth time in Octopussy (1983)
