"My name is Matthew Rimmer. I had an accident and I woke up in 1981. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home."

Join me in 1981, a year of Duran Duran, Margaret Thatcher, Charles and Diana, Ken and Diedre and Bucks Fizz...

Show 3.15, first broadcast live on Thursday 7th February 2008, includes 1981 Soap Round-up, 1981 Entertainment News, Rants and Raves and Soap Round-Up.

I found this on YouTube (video by paperbackwriter72):
