The sights and sounds of Bucks Fizz - with Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston, Mike Nolan and Bobby McVay of The Fizz joining Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2's Sara Cox to relive their 80s, now those days are gone. Plus a host of classic videos from the decade to watch - because the camera never lies!

There's a chance to see the Bucks Fizz videos for Piece of the Action and My Camera Never Lies, plus a sneaky look back at their first ever TV appearance with Sir Terry Wogan introducing their performance of Making Your Mind Up on A Song for Europe.

The band take us back to their victorious win of Eurovision in 1981, relive life as a put-together band on Top of the Pops, and talk us through trashing a hotel room Bucks Fizz style! They also chat to Sara about their horrific coach crash of 1984 with a heartfelt recollection of the huge impact it had on their lives. Plus we meet new member Bobby McVay and enjoy the joy of life back on the road with The Fizz.

The Fizz choose Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer as their favourite 80s video to watch, plus Sara presents some of the very best pop promos from the 1980s, from a huge range of artists including Billy Joel, Mel & Kim, Madness, Five Star, Technotronic and Paul Young.

And as ever, catch the Top 5 Megamix, from this week in 1981, featuring the Number 1 cover of It's My Party by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin.
