80s!

Great to have Ashes to Ashes back. The first episode of the second series - much stronger than the first one but I guess now it doesn't have to separate itself so much from Life on Mars - its a very different feel of a show and Gene Hunt is a genius creation :) I had a little giggle when they mentioned Hendon College of Police Training in the episode - couldn't help but think of Hot Fuzz. Oh and the 80s karaoke afterwards on the digital red button option - with the music from the episode - fun!!

I loved the Spandau Ballet Chant No. 1 inspired trailer

^ The club is still on Greek Street, London though with a different name - if it played 80s music I'd be there!

Looking forward to seeing Spandau Ballet on Jonathan Ross - first performance as a band for years! (please, please don't let me down - be good!)

According to Ross's twitter today - Simon Pegg will also be a guest = double win :D I wonder if he'll wear the kilt? Spandau wore kilts come to think of it in their first video so hey swankyfunk this one's for you 80s new wave/new romantic band - pretty boys in kilts (well two of them, and ballet shoes!) I must wear my coat like singer Tony Hadley one day, just slung over one shoulder with the gloves attached *snort*:
