Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you! I had not considered the impact of the sixties on eighties childhoods, but you are right - it was everywhere! I actually think it was a good thing; I’ve certainly always been happier to embrace popular culture from different generations than my children, who steadfastly position themselves in the here and now. I feel culturally richer for it.
I watched the first episode of the rebooted Ecclestone Doctor Who with Sylvester McCoy in a theatre dressing room in Cheltenham in 2005
