This was a one-off discussion programme hosted by Michael Aspel as the pariah decade began to be rehabilitated. It concentrated on cultural rather than political events.
Aspel himself was given time to reminisce about his stint on Ask Aspel and Tony Slattery was revealed to be a regular correspondent to the show.
The last part was given over to a lively discussion on music. Joinathan King dominated with a fatuous argument that seventies music was second rate stuff made by people from the sixties. I mean Lennon and McCartney formed The Quarrymen in 1958, did that make The Beatles a fifties band ? He also poured scorn on punk trotting out the McLaren line that it was all manufactured. Glen Matlock and Rat Scabies, who was training a laser pen on King, defended themselves well.
The programme concluded with the current Damned line up performing Smash It Up. I assume it was Dave Vanian under the gimp mask.
