    Anyone watching the 80's? I'm sure they just used the stereo we still have, although we have got a CD player!

    Yes I am but I felt more nostalgic watching the 70s one. We must have skipped the 80s technology - although Santa did bring us those small Nintindos (or a cheaper brand of the same). Our stereo was almost the same as the one in 70s and we had the exact same kettle.

    ETA: I love the 80s songs they're using!

    I was born in 1980 but we weren't very well off, so most of the technology in this episode we didn't get until the 90s. We didn't have a video recorder till about 1991, and my mum had no microwave until about 2000. I think I had my first CD player in 1995.

    Next week should be interesting, the technology in the 90s moved so fast.
  • i grew up in the 60's and 70's with a dansette record player (78's eh? Try explaining those to your teenagers!)

    Until my late teens I had a radio in my bedroom, - it was a plug in one that needed to warm up - about 5 minutes i remember!

    We got married in 1987 - and we didn't have a colour telly until cup final day in 1990!

    Yes, the website lets you watch it online and shows you when it's next on (BBC4 at 1am and it's also on at 8pm on the 8th).
