1981
Jeremy Vine reaches the 1981. There are riots in Brixton and Toxteth, the New Romantics arrive to brighten up the clubs and there is some saucy skirt-ripping at Eurovision.
Jeremy Vine reaches the 1981 in Radio 2's audio journey through five decades of triumph, tragedy and trivia.
It's the year of The Specials' Ghost Town and riots in Brixton and Toxteth. The New Romantics arrive to brighten up the clubs, there's some saucy skirt-ripping at Eurovision and a new political party is shaking up Westminster.
