Ep 51 Dec 82 Bing Crosby, Pale Fountains, Bucks Fizz, Culture Club, Madness, Ultravox, The The

It's almost December 1982 and as we open our advent calendar who do we find behind the cardboard doors? (it's the 80s, so no milk chocolate) Bing Crosby and David Bowie! We also introduce the Pale Fountains for one brief dalliance and bathe in the creative majesty of The The. Bucks Fizz get hot and bothered in the kitchen, Culture Club can't stop dropping hits, Madness win an Ivor Novello and Ultravox enter a Faustian pact!
