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
12 We Bid You Velcome! (Jeremy remembers Dracula - 1984 / With A Little Help From My Friends, She's Leaving Home by Wet Wet Wet/Billy Bragg 1988 / Counting Draculas - Vince's Homage to the Prince of Darkness
For the 12th and final show of the Season, Vince and Jeremy discuss all things vampiric.
Jeremy looks back to 1984 and the attempt by him and his friends to bring Dracula to a new, mid 80's audience. Beset by production issues, creative tension, and interference from the studio, the film sadly lies unfinished, probably languishing in landfill, under the M3, or in a vault in West Africa.
Vince continues the theme as he discusses his relationship with the Count (careful!), and the fondness he has always had for the original and myriad of spin off films. His love of this subject is now manifested in his new book 'Counting Draculas - Binge Watching The Vampire King' which is available to buy directly from ATB Publishing.
This month it's the turn of No. 609 (With A Little Help From My Friends/She's Leaving Home by Wet Wet Wet and Billy Bragg) as our randomised UK number 1.
