We move into the 80s, and Luke's favourite era of Top of the Pops: the Michael Hurll years.

It's a massive party, with balloons, lasers, and cheerleaders. There's even a roundabout.

Great presenters like Kid Jenson, Janice Long, and John Peel. Amazing performances from Culture Club, Shalamar, and Dexys Midnight Runners. And let's say a 'memorable' outing for New Order.

Enjoy it, or Hurll will come running down from the gallery very annoyed.

Cracking TV is produced and presented by Luke Sluman and John Furlong.

Our rather marvellous theme tune was written and performed by Simon McInerney.

Additional sound effects from zapsplat.com.
