TV critic, writer and 1980s addict Grace Dent unwraps the TV schedules for 1984 and finds it was a case of Orwell that ends well, on another festive fun-packed dash through the 麻豆社鈥檚 archives, examining all the small screen content that viewers were glued to four decades ago.
As Grace demonstrates, it was the Christmas that saw Band Aid first 鈥楩eed the World鈥�, there was another big hit with a new Miss Marple, and we were living in a world where Lycra and leg warmers were fashion essentials, Elton John was married to Renate Blauel, Princess Anne was denying reports that she wanted to be a lorry driver, and super soaps Dallas and Dynasty were enjoying their last few months on top before the imminent arrival of a new programme called EastEnders.
