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.

This episode: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
As Jeremy realises with rising horror that if he was in Wham! he’d be Andrew Ridgley, and Vince makes the case for George Michael being a calculating high-functioning sociopath with vengeance in his heart, both men get into the Christmas Spirit by cruelly denigrating widely held nutty belief systems, ruthlessly critiquing inarguably dreadful movies, and deciphering the cryptic meanings behind ELP, FGTH and EMF.
The artists/bands rated and/or discussed are Slade, Greg Lake, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Wham!, Cliff Richard, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
