Back To The Eighties

We're coming to the end of the summer, and what better way to mark that than reminiscing about some retro stuff with our old mate Brad from the TFYTC? We'll be talking about Transformers, Star Wars, Retrogaming and even some football of old, so make a cuppa, get some Pink Panther wafers in, and enjoy!

Leigh and Glenn look at one the JNT stories that truly did a deep dive into Doctor Who's own history, bringing the Brigadier back, no less - Mawdryn Undead!  They also discuss the big news - who's likely to take the showrunner reins now that Chibnall's on his way, and who could be the new Doctor?

We've got Wil Hodgson back with us today, for another lovely jaunt down Memory Lane, this time including such subjects as Star Wars action figure time travelling, school, Office Space and the Kray twins! It'll all make sense, I promise. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

We're a little bit late with this one, but it's definitely worth it for one of, if not THE most iconic Transformers comic book cover of them all! We're also back with the US stories, and a bit of a change to the UK comic, starting it's metamorphosis into the comic we'd all come to know and love...

Duncan from Stacebob and the Dweebs is back with us again, and as promised last time he joined us, we're talking about 1991's The Addams Family! Definitely a movie with one foot firmly in the 80s, we talk about how it updated the 60's show, how we remembered watching that show in the 80s, and everything inbetween! JOIN US. Or Thing will find you. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

He's back again! Our regular Star Wars guy Brad is back to talk about all things Lucasfilmy, as well as this time we have a good old natter about the current state of the Transformersverse! Turns out it's quite healthy, what with loads of fan-pleasing toys coming out, and the Beast Era finally getting it's due. But let's not spoil the podcast, take a listen for yourself!

It's the final of Euro 2020 today, and would you know it, England are facing Italy! Recorded just before they were going to meet Germany, Wil Hodgson sits down with us to talk of England and tournaments past, not only the football, but everything that came with it! If you're wanting to get into the mood, this is the best way to do it! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's time to look at this month's Transformers Marvel UK issues 19,20 and 21 from June 1985 - it's good summer reading as we end the run of stories from the UK, next month we go back to the cliffhanger from the US! Can Andy and Glenn take it?  If you want to follow along with us, scans can be found here: https://britishcomics.wordpress.com/2016/10/03/transformers/ Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's Sonic the Hedghog's 30th Birthday today, so please do join Glenn and special guest Timmus_TSET for a bit of a birthday bash! We talk about the blue speedster's origins as a rival mascot for the mighty Mario, his Genesis within Sega itself, and all our personal memories of spending hours and hours attempting speedruns! Happy Birthday, Sonic! Don't run too fast after eating all the cake.  Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Duncan from Stacebob and the Dweebs joins us this week to discuss 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - expect laughs and shocks galore as we explore this new take on Film Noir, complete with all the complexities with making not only a groundbreaking movie, but having to please two powerful studios at the same time! Also: Judge Doom. Bloody scary. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Amy and Kirsty are back with us this week, to talk about a Star Trek series that, whilst made in the Nineties, still had one foot firmly locked in the Eighties - Voyager! Join us as we talk about the genesis of the series, our favourite characters and episodes, and why Janeway might just be the best Starfleet captain of them all. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's an episode of endings and beginnings for the UK Transformers comics of May 1985, as "The Enemy Within" ends and "Raiders of the Last Ark" kick off, meaning that our mini-run of UK stories will be ending also in just a few issues time! There are also the usual other features, Machine Man, Planet Terry and the like, and also a few new ads, including a spectaculare one featuring the Insecticons...

It's back to 1977 for this episode, and the Chris Boucher story that fleshed out it's characters so much that there's been spin-offs and returns and even a hint of it being part of a wider universe entirely!  Join Glenn and Leigh as they encounter the Robots of Death, and try to avoid being the latest of the crew to be bumped off!

Eliza Hyde is back to join us this week, talking about another one of her passions  - Doctor Who, and because it's us, it's all about the Eighties period, on of the tumultous in it's history! From the end of the Fourth, to the end of the series (for a while, at least) it's all here, so step aboard the nostalgia TARDIS, and prepare for a wild ride!

It's time to welcome back our old friend comedian, barber, raconteur and all round great guy Wil Hodgson for a nostalgic ramble through the Eighties stopping at places like Public Information Film woods, and Long Forgotten Cartoon island! I think I might have pushed this analogy too far.  Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's time to look at what April 1985's Transformers comics frm Marvel UK had to offer! I'm joined as usual by my old pal from school (and the Smorgaspod) Andy, so let's take a look! There's the continuing story of "The Enemy Within" - will Brawn be taken down for his haywire behaviour? There's a very strange inserted real-life story of a submarine - and there's all the usual "fun" of the Chromobots and Machine Man!

It's off to Necros for the latest episode of Nerva Beacon, as Leigh and Glenn check out what's going on at the planet-wide funeral home of Tranquil Repose! Why has the Doctor been summoned there? And why is Davros just a head? And why were so many people woefully miscast? And just the hell was Clive Swift's problem, anyway? Join us to find out!

It's BTTE time again, and we have a brand new guest joining us, metal, nerd, YouTuber, Metal DJ and horror fan, Eliza Hyde!
