Was Flashdance shown uncut? It was after the watershed and it should have been unedited, but I suspect it wasn't.

I would have been sixteen and took my O Levels that year. Remember the Hand of God goal by the late Diego Maradona - it left a bad taste in my mouth. I am now 54!

Southend even had troubles back then, nothing ever changes

That Orelia ad is striking.

Ben elton has never once said anything ever to anyone remotely funny .hes an absolute legend!! I mean bellend sorry .

I went to that Royal Tournament in Earl's Court as a kid. Quite exciting.

I wonder what episode of The Young Doctors had been reached by YTTTV.

I remember that 'On The Line' was one of Central's first drama series before they struck gold next year with the smash hit that was 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet'.

I remember watching this as a kid. This episode is also worth watching because of Johnny Ball and Wincey Willis. My god, the winning prize was a computer!!!

Loved this set. Absolutely certain we'd have had The Munsters on, as we always did on C4 at that time of day. Oh, and Ice Magic wasn't all it was cracked up to be!

I remember that Cadbury's Biarritz advert at 11:28 but sadly I never tasted them (too expensive).

I had to watch this one just because of the thumbnail, I use to work at pleasure island

And yes that's Tina Turner in the Pepsi Cola advert. Not long after this, Beecham's of Brentford, Middx (who held the UK franchise rights to Pepsi Cola) would sell off their soft drinks arm to Britvic of Chelmsford, Essex.

Tom Bradby still doing the rounds.

This was before Post Office Limited sold off Girobank to the Alliance and Leicester about a year later.

Ah yes, when BBC news was about news and not comment and opinion.

It's an early Crystal Maze

According to Kaleidoscope's TV Brain this one doesn't survive, so this is definitely a find!

"A match that [Scotland] must win..." ...too soon?

That's Quite an intimidating Trail for The Cook Report at the start!😟

The BBC World Cup 86 theme does Sound Great But it doesn't Hold a Candle to ITV's World Cup 86 Tune.

0:20 David Icke reporting from the World Cup.
