Heh. I was never much into poodle haired widdle fest music - liked
some of it, but generally a bit of everything, much as now really.

Checking the old 45s collection, I see from tonights show I have Gary
Numan, the Clash, the Passions...and I'm not saying I wasn't a metal
head as well!

Anyway, I largely agree with this review:

I was laughing out loud at bits
I repeated some lines out loud
I noticed that their copy of Tennis Girl wasn't signed by Martin Elliott
(like what mine is)

But it doesn't have the fresh feel of the original.

Despite firing up the Quattro

Agreed.

And the music isn't as good, either.

But Gene Hunt makes up for it.

Don't get me started on the Quattro.. Gene Hunt driving a RHD Quattro in
July 1981 when they weren't made RHD until late '82.

I thought that the music was spot on for the era. There was even a
lovely cameo of I'm In Love with A German Film Star by The Passions which
was masquerading as soundtrack and not a song IYSWIM.

All it needs IMO is lots and lots of The B-52's who were in their pomp at
the time.

Every right thinking UKRM deconstructed Male's role model without a doubt.
