Moonwalker was released in 1999 as a strange way of linking together a string of Michael Jackson’s songs. It was a success and feature in a number of Christmas repeats to this day.
All I really remember about this film is the scene where Michael Jackson takes on the now embattled Wesley Snipes in a pop […]

This song sums up everything nostalgic about Christmas. Christmas in Australia just wasn’t the same without chestnuts roasting on an open fire or snow glistening outside. Bing felt the same way when he sang this classic as part of the 1942 classic “Holiday Inn” and later the 1954 hit “White Christmas”:

Everyone was singing it -on school buses, in pubs and around town. England, normally too scared to hope, was allowing herself to get all excited about the 1996 European Championships. England flags were all over: on cars, buildings and boats. Girls made red and white tops and the boys wore England shirts. Everybody gathered round […]

Unfortunately for the lovely Craig, nobdy could ever take him seriously again as a singer after Avid Merrion recast him as a character in the series “Bo’ Selecta”. Mocked for his street lingo and general cool kid antics, Craig David soon became better known as his alter-ego

Romeo & Juliet - the first time I cried at a film -and one of the last. Deeply upsetting for 11 year old girls the world over.

“Jack, Jack,” Rose whispers as he slips into the depths of the Atlantic…

Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light.
And then there was Baywatch.
We never missed a single episodes as normally disorganised brothers and dads managed to time their takeover of the telly to coincide with the weekly soft porn episode brought to you by David Hasslehof. I recently watched a re-run and […]

Another travesty of the one-hit wonder phenomenon. Good for charity though, a bit like the Peter Kay re-make of “Show me the way to Amarillo”, but much more annoying. Watch out for Jeremy Clarkson and Carol Vorderman in this video. You even get to see Mrs Blobby and Baby Blobby towards the end as well […]

The best morning show of th 1990’s. Ant, Dec and Cat Deely would run amok for a couple of hours. Ant used to try and beat the kids at the trivia quiz and he could be quite harsh -especially if he won. They impersonated most celebrities and we nearly got the long-awaited kiss on their […]
