1982

Episode 32 of 50

The year of the Falklands War, plus a new royal prince, the Pope's visit to Britain and chart success for Boy George.

Jeremy Vine reaches 1982 in Radio 2's audio journey through five decades of triumph, tragedy and trivia. He introduces a collage of the music, news, people and programmes - as they were heard at the time - without any commentary, analysis, or hindsight.

It's a year dominated by the Falklands War. There's a new royal prince, the Pope's visit to Britain and an epic battle at Wimbledon. Plus a new TV channel and big success for Arthur Daley and Boy George.
