As Operation Yewtree closes in on The Wombles of Wimbledon Common, Jeremy and Vince confidently (if unwisely) don flared trousers, platform heels, pseudo-silk kimonos and glitter face paint in celebration of “the decade of lurid wallpaper, silly hairstyles and burly men warming their hands around braziers,” to quote lurid and burly historian Dominic Sandbrook. Jeremy wonders if TV’s Dr David Banner (aka The Incredible Hulk) has the worst employment history of any medical professional in history; Vince unpicks a dastardly scheme by ‘Scrumpy ‘n Western’ cider-drinking yokel-funsters The Wurzles to thwart a proposal by a taskforce from the Environmental Agency and North Wiltshire County Council to tackle traffic congestion in Swindon Town; and both men express sadness and dismay at the unwaveringly tatty and unappealing kitsch that forms the vast majority of Elvis merchandising.
The artists/bands rated and/or discussed are David Essex,
Jeff Wayne, The Wurzles, The Stranglers, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, Blondie, and Elvis
Presley.
