Sara Cox is weak in the presence of Alison Moyet, as she joins Sara to relive her 80s Yazoo and solo hits, alongside a host of classic pop videos from the decade to watch.

Alison talks about her formative years as a teenage punk, meeting the boys from Depeche Mode and hooking up with Vince Clarke to form Yazoo. She speaks warmly and passionately about the unfortunate break-up of the band and how they were later reunited. Life goes on into her solo career kicking off with a bidding war to sign her, the creation of her album Alf, her subsequent releases and writing with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.

There's a chance to see her videos for Yazoo song Don't Go and solo track Is This Love?, before Alison leads us through how life is being back on the road. We hear a choice of one of her favourite tracks from the 80s, plus Sara presents a selection of pop videos from the decade, with everything from Whitney Houston to U2 to Cameo.

Plus the Top 5 Megamix from this week in 1984, featuring the Number 1 cover of Dancing In The Streets by David Bowie and Mick Jagger.
