Bubble perms and aran sweaters

Good old Nick Heywood (swoon). All this 80s talk is making me dust off my bandana and ripped jeans. The 'before and after' gallery should be painful viewing. I've never worn jodhpurs but having heard that Nick is still getting away with it, I'm tempted. My guess is most of you have some 80s photos from this era tucked away somewhere. If you felt like sharing simonmayo@bbc.co.uk will gratefully receive them all.

2 shows today and Nicole Kidman leads the way onto the film show to talk Before I Go To Sleep. You may well remember SJ Watson coming on the show when thebook first came out; the film deal had been done then! I was impressed (and jealous) I have to say. She's very impressive I think (and amazingly tall).

And for the ARF we'll keep up the 80s thing with some 1981 fabulousness. Steve Davies wins the World Snooker. Chariots of Fire is released and Prince Charles and Lady Di married at St Pauls. And your host is patrolling the car parks of Worthing, sweeping steps and emptying ticket machines. Oh the glory of it all.

2&5 then...
