Episode 11 Season 4 - Before Apple. Before Microsoft. Before sanity… there was Fisher-Price.In this barely researched exposé, James and Andy uncover the suspiciously advanced nature of 80s toys—were those plastic cash registers and beeping baby phones actually early tech prototypes? Was Fisher-Price the secret Silicon Valley of toddler Britain?This highly unreliable investigation also includes:🔍 Turtles in UK restaurants (we wish we were joking)👶 The strange phenomenon of caged children (perfectly normal at the time… apparently)💻 The first ever iPad? Possibly. Probably not.😢 James’ deeply unlucky friend (we’re sorry, mate)🧠 And the question on everyone’s mind: Was that Trump’s first computer?Prepare for nostalgia, confusion, and wild speculation that makes absolutely no sense—yet somehow feels… right.Disclaimer: Nothing in this episode should be considered accurate, except the bits that accidentally are.(Season 4 - 2025) Bring Back The 80s PODCAST .com - A new episode every Tuesday!

Remember the British pubs of the 80s? Thick with cigarette smoke and testosterone, thick glass ashtrays if thinks got a bit rough, the landlord with the dirty dishcloth over his shoulder, and the barmaids always had great big personalities! #80s #eighties #reminice #memories #nostalgia #topics #80s #eighties #pint #drive #beermat #beer #mat #smiths #walkers #baconfries #scampifries #skol #tuborg #lawnmower #airport #fullenglish #doubledecker #dryice #liquidlunch #wetherspoons #pinball #fruitmachine #jukebox

British pubs in the 80s, no food, your own tankard and a busty barmaid was all we needed! #80s #eighties #reminice #memories #nostalgia #topics #80s #eighties #skol #beer #pub #horsebrass #bitter #worthington #bar #tray #barmaid #landlady #pinball #fruitmachine #jukebox #cards #pie #pieandmash #crisps #hotpot #smiths #saltnshake #peanuts #sweatband #brookside #walkman #breakdancing #scampifries #whitbread

In the name of science, we taste test some of the chocolate from then and now. Even blue smarties!

The best chocolate bars of the 80s tried and tested by Andy and James.

We're back with season 3 on Tuesday 15th October! Here's a little taster of what to expect.

Series 3 - Episode 0 - New series starting next week!! We are back next week with a brand new series. SERIES 3!!! Our first episode in this series will be about chocolate. In this promo episode we will tease you with a curly-wurly. How big was yours?

We went for a WIMPY! 3 Guesses what Andy just HAD to order.

Here's the last in our series of classic 80s movies. We're taking a break for the summer holidays, we'll be back in October with series 3!

How may of these classic 80s movies did you see at the movies when they were out for the first time?

ET, Ghostbusters, Who Framed Roger Rabbit - and more!

A Fish called Wanda, See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Beverly Hills Cop, Airplane, Police Academy. They were absolute classics of 80s comedy!

Part 2

Remember how good the movies were in the 80s?

This one definitely does not sit well with current audiences.

Episode 15

How many of these do you remember?

Season 2 Episode 13

Different times, different attitudes. No one was offended!

The 80s were full of disasters, both man-made and natural. And there was never not a joke in very bad taste about each and every one of them.

Series 2 Episode 10 - We were attracted to electricity substations, abandoned houses and mostly came out OK.

Drinking from hosepipes, coming home when the streetlights came on, and getting into danger!
