These days, decades slide into each other with hemlines barely blipping, but the move from 1979 to 1980 was like being beamed to a whole new galaxy. He's interviewed countless big names, and covered countless new releases in the fields of music, videogames, movies, tech, gadgets, home improvement, self build, interiors and garden design. These were included here as well as some of ABBA's lesser-known hits from the time when their popularity was declining, such as " Head over Heels" and " The Day Before You Came.

Hence Whitney and Cissy Houston’s mangled and morally unsavoury 1987 US cash-in, which now gormlessly pits mother against daughter for the passions of the same man.
