J-J-J-J-J-Jive Talkin'

And good morning to you too. What's happening at your place? My place has a selection of 80s gear strewn casually about the furniture...now if only find my 1987 Top of the Pops suit all will be well.

This is not pointless nostalgia you understand, this is all support for the mighty Sara Cox who starts her danceathon for Comic Relief today at 9.30. For 24 hours she will shimmy, boogie, strut, flounce, salsa, waltz, cha-cha (ok we get the idea, move on) in the studio. Whatever the track is, that's what she moves to. It is all 80s themed of course and our show is an all-request, write in show the way it would have been, way back when. We have quite a few 80's surprises too. You can watch the whole thing online, on the red button and iPlayer, videos, sweat and tears an'all.

All the music is lined up-playing the videos requires some planning-but your top 80s memories would be very welcome. Shows you went to, posters you cherished, records you loved.

Feel free to jive, boogie, salsa etc in support, then maybe wear a red nose. Meantime my big shiny shirts get to ride one more time....

Blog comments will be available here in future. Find out more.
