Now that’s what I call attention to detail!

H from Steps’ lawyer is going to have a busy week. Poor bloke, sharing his name with the vile (and now dead) Lostprophets singer. #IanWatkins

Many thanks to @stephenemmett11.bsky.social for digitising my original cassette recording of Radio 1’s UK Top 40 from 12 November 1995. Now on Mixcloud! Listen along for classic hits from Coolio, Madonna, Oasis… “What’s a Wonderwall anyway?” Quite. www.mixcloud.com/espeee/bbc-r...

This new #AlanPartridge series is woefully unfunny, as was This Time. The bits with Lynn are good but that’s it. Just do another I’m Alan Partridge, ffs.

Awesome show tonight. One final sleeve from me. Have great weeks, all! #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Gonna stick my neck out and say this is the best #forgotten80s I've heard in my almost 10 years listening

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Sunday night #forgotten80s – that’s when you think of these

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

I was going to say in the last hour that another song this happened with was That’s When I Think Of You by 1927 – I had it on a tape in the early 90s and somehow forgot all about it. Top choice! #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Bangers galore tonight. Shaping up to be a belter of a #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Four more sleeves to make you smile #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E, P-E-R-S-P-E-C-T-I-V-E, D-I-S-C-O… My school spelling tests were a cinch thanks to Hall & Oates, Aztec Camera and Ottawan #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Four singles from so far tonight (tonight tonight) #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

I was a huge fan of Downtown by One 2 Many in '89 and forgot all about it for 30+ years until it popped up on #forgotten80s a few years back. It's now a show favourite, and rightly so!

First band I saw live was Genesis – Roundhay Park, Leeds, 31 July 1992. I was 14 (and considerably younger than most people around me!). Anyone else at that gig? I remember Runrig (who I also love) were the warm-up act #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

As far as I’m aware, Joe Dolce did not have a hit with Paris Vita #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Ooh, Dolce Vita is indeed a gem #forgotten80s

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 6d

Good weekend? Now the icing on the cake – #forgotten80s till 11. Evening all.

Sharing some original sleeves. Because I want to. #TOTP

5ive rapping like they're in a Harlem club when they're all from some estate in Droitwich Spa #TOTP

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 8d

Pop fact: Ol’ Dirty Bastard came up with his stage name after watching episodes of #TOTP from the 70s on Friday nights

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 8d

I was 20 at this time and working at some dodgy pub in Birkenhead. I remember an old man in a flat cap saying "Bloody hell, it'll be £2 a pint soon" #TOTP

Lee Graham @leepg.bsky.social · 8d

The Celebrity Inner Circle – some crap we came up with using offcuts from the Weakest Link studio. And Amanda Holden. No thanks. #TOTP
