4. Those puppets

Gave me nightmares when i first saw them on that Genesis video

6. Me too! Almost as awful as the real thing.

I still can't believe we survived those times.
Some days I'm not sure we did...

7. I saw them for the first time a year or two before the Genesis video:

Sadly these are from someone's bad video tape, and they are missing some bits, but that's how it goes. There seems to be some legal issue with this particular program. You can't even get it on DVD. Enjoy these while you can- I doubt they'll stay up long.

11. Thanks!

I remember this show. It was devastatingly funny. Interesting how a show that embarrasses politicians somehow has "legal issues" and can't be found anywhere.

5. Say what you will about Margaret Thacher

Don't expect me to stand in the way.

9. Those days were the beginning of plutocracy.

Thatcher's death is perhaps the harbinger of what the young see as relief from us oldsters. But I want to say on my behalf, that my generation suffered, that the days of Reagan and Thatcher were hell. I understood the long term ramifications of jobs being shipped overseas and the 'bankrupt' Chicago Public Schools that required a state "bailout". But many of my generation didn't know who who the 'enemy' were. We were just learning the game of finance in ruining democracy then.

10. More truth in the form of comedic satire
