Summary
A decade dominated by the collapse of the manufacturing industry, troubles escalating in Ireland, the Falklands war, AIDs and yuppies. Not to mention the country being run by one of the most unpopular leaders of the country since polling began.
Thankfully, the marriage of Charles and Di in a spectacular wedding lifted the spirits of the nation for a while, until Di promised to love, honour and then fracture the Royal Family with a string of embarrassing revelations.

I remember that.
We are taken through the in a very humorous and deadpan way. John O'Farrell has written and narrated this series and talks about some serious issues in a lighter way but still brings home the seriousness of the times. I have already recommended this series to my friends and hope they will enjoy it as much as I have.

Enjoyable race through a decade
I enjoyed the content but very disappointed to realise a whole credit is used up on one chapter that has been cut from what is clearly a longer book. This is not acceptable. The audiobook starts by announcing ‘chapter 5’ and that is all you get for goodness sake and I had the same experience starting ‘chapter 4’ with the 1970s book so will be taking this up with audible. They have effectively split a book into chapters and sold them off as individual books, makes sense now why the book is so short.
