S02E03 Trouble At Mill (The Compleat Beatles (1982) /The Final Countdown by Europe (1986) / Pebble Mill At One (1972-1986)
Description
Welcome to Episode 3 of our second series. This month, Vince discusses the seismic effect that watching 'The Compleat Beatles' had on him as a twelve year old, leading to a love affair with The Fab Four that has lasted over forty years.
Jeremy casts his mind back with fond remembrances of the BBC staple 'Pebble Mill At One', this being one of the first daytime programmes the BBC commissioned (other than educational TV). Jeremy remembers coming home for lunch, watching a bizarre mix of chat, music, and other 'items of interest' with wide eyed amazement.
As is our wont, we look into another UK number 1 from 1970-1990. This time, the fickle randomiser of fate picks out 'The Final Countdown' by Euro Poodle Rockers, Europe, sitting atop the chart in December '86 for two weeks.
