Findus Crispy Pancakes, Viennetta, or perhaps signor would prefer some of Gino Ginelli's Toffee Fooogee?Playing games on Ceefax. Bagpuss, Fingermouse, Button Moon. Beat that. Looking at the world though your View-Master. Being stressed about acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer (which are both okay now?). Five hours of cartoons on a Saturday morning, most of which were reverse-engineered adverts for plastic toys. 0181 811 8181!New Wave, post-punk. Madonna! Taping the radio.

Here, in quiz book form, is a celebration of those glorious years. There are more than 500 questions across Film, TV, Music, Arts & Culture, Current Affairs, Food and Drink, Games and Toys, Celebrities, Sport, Fashion and Design, Technology, Crazes & Fads, Idioms and Sayings, and Books and Magazines.
