Product Description
Using rare news footage and interviews from the BBC, British Pathé and other news services, this
extraordinary series provides a unique year by year look at what was making the news in that
most colourful of decades - The 1980s.
With a whole hour long show on each year, the result is an amazing insight into the decade of Margaret
Thatcher and Ronald Regan, Yuppies, big hair, New Romantics, Perestroika and designer everything!
The decade was a time of huge contrasts for the United Kingdom. The unabated rise of capitalist culture in
the ideal of a share and property-owning democracy was in stark contrast to the privations of the year-long
miner s strike and record unemployment - contributing factors to the ever widening North-South divide.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing cold war, British troops were at war with Argentina over the Falklands
Islands and, closer to home, civil unrest in Northern Ireland continued to claim lives.
Riots in Brixton and Toxteth brought anarchy to British city centres. The whole world was shocked by the
Chernobyl disaster, the Challenger explosion and people across the globe mourned the murder of John
Lennon.
This collection also covers such memorable events as the great storm of 1987, the Royal Wedding, the first
London Marathon, the introduction of the pound coin and a streaker at Twickenham.
Relive all these events and many, many more with A Year To Remember
The 1980s .
TOTAL RUNNING TIME - 9 hours, 50 Mins (3 disc set).

A wonderful DVD recalling happenings of the 1980's. Barely 20 years of
news information, and nothing has really altered at all. Bombs, wars the
problems within the government. Soon to have the Olympics.

We all know that the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty first century belong to us all, and being born in 1976 I began being interested in what was going on around me and in the world when I was 15 or 16 years old namely at the beginning of the 1990s !
Watching the 1980s is a great privilege and honour !!! THIS IS WONDERFUL !!!! I am waiting for the 1960s the 1990S and the 2000s I have already bought the 1970s !!!!
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE US WAIT any longer !!!
CONGRATULATIONS !
