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.

01 Yoko Plays Skittles - Pilot
Episode 1: Yoko Plays Skittles (May 4th 2017)
'60 minutes of your life you’ll never get back!'
In an episode that U2 fans would undoubtedly find terribly upsetting, Vince and Jeremy discuss tribute bands with punning names, the confused narrative of The Jacksons’ Blame it on the Boogie, scathing reviews, and why the numbers just don’t add up in late 70’s BBC sci-fi series Blake’s 7.
The artists/bands rated and discussed are Santana (featuring Michelle Branch), China Crisis, America, Depeche Mode, and Judee Sill.
