    " hair metal " was a derogotary term but at the end of the day metal was a bit of a joke in the late eighties , Def Lepard were less pop orientated when they started out in the early eighties

    rock of ages isnt a bad tune , i do have a soft spot for them , id go see them quicker than bon jovi ( if i got a ticket for free ) , sometimes you can accept that a band is sh1t while still sort of like their tunes

    Metal was joke in 80s? That’s hilarious

    There was a programme I think on Sunday night about students at an American law school. John Houseman was the professor.

    The Paper Chase? Very earnest stuff.

    I remember it being repeated midweek maybe early 90s.

    Very little info online about but it this article briefly refers to it and confirms it was an English wrestler called Tina Starr who was involved.

    The bould Tina is here in the pink leotard, quite a tall athletic lass but yeah Derek was a big guy which is one of the reasons I had my doubts about it being real. I dont remember him fighting back or physically trying to disengage with her. She clearly had a good deal of strength as she sent the male stage hand flying through the air, he wasnt a stuntman either as I remembered previously seeing him on the show directing something involving the audience.

    I saw this on tv live and even as a kid I figured out Gary Moore litterally raised the roof , just look at the audience after :)

    So, REALLY interested to see who remembers this.

    When RTE2 first came on the scene, this was one of it's first soaps it showed- I think it was actually the first programme on most evenings (around 6.30pm ) for about a year - Ryan's Hope

    Any takers?

    I remember one storyline played out over about a week or two, where Richard Thomas, who played John Boy in the Waltons, kidnapped some nurse or doctor he was infatuated with

    I loved ChiPs as a kid and Erik Estrada was was my favourite. One of my Grandmothers best friends was a set dresser in Hollywood and managed to get me an autograph back in the day!

    Def Leppard are a rock band from Sheffield who initially did better in the US than the UK. They hit the big time in the mid to late 1980s with their album Hysteria - a number of tracks from it were hit singles this side of the world.

    Hysteria is the Thriller of hard rock. Released late summer 1987; the hits continued into 1989.

    Their previous albums are great too. There was an excellent Early Years box released recently
