We start with The Beat and end with a Beat Surrender this week as we roll into December 1982 and the end of The Jam. Cliff Richard also limbers up for a run of Christmas Hits, we learn why we all briefly got fascinated by the pan pipes, Phil Collins goes Motown and goes massive and Malcolm McLaren goes from agent provocateur to artiste provocateur!
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! It's quite the episode.
