I kind of agree, I've noticed very retro-style designs floating around a lot more recently. Maybe we're incapable of creating a fashion for the 00's!

This was a title on a recent essay my brother had to do at school and it got me thinking. it's right, With gameshow marathon, price is right, life on Mars and even the DOND phone has skyrocketed on Ebay, fashion is going 80's at the moment, does anyone agree in reference to tv?

Nostalgia runs in 20-year cycles.
In 1970s everyone recalled the 1950s; think Alvin Stardust, Grease and Mud.
In 1980s, the 1960s came back. The second British invasion, the second Summer of Love and Tracey Ullman.
I recall in the 1990s that flares (Joe Bloggs!), platforms and ABBA came back into vogue.
So in 2000s it's natural that 1980s are back. Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran have returned. Kim Wilde is back again. In 2003 leg warmers came back, I've seen shoulder pads return too. Somebody should tell teenagers that goths are so 1985. Yuppie wine bars have opened in West Bridgford, frequented by people in pastel suits. Mobile phones are as trendy now as they were 20 years ago... albeit smaller now. Only Fools and Horses is repeated all the time too!
According to that survey last week, 1986 was much better than today!
So between 2010-2019, will we be digging out our smiley face t-shirts? Will Pulp and Blur be storming the charts again? That's my theory anyway.
I hope in 2025 chavs don't come back

Thing is... one or two of the gameshows on Ant & Dec's "Marathon" only stopped being screened on ITV1 only about a couple of years before the "Marathon" came along (namely the two Brucie ones - Play Your Cards Right and Brice's Price Is Right).
Some of the other ones in the Marathon were last seen on ITV1 much longer ago. So, the fact that TPIR is the first thing to have been "revived" post-Marathon is actually quite disappointing. Seeing as TPIR was last seen (in the Brucie incarnation) not very long ago, it's hardly been away from ITV1 for long enough for the Joe version to really feel like a "revival" of something "vintage".

P.S. Two thoughts to stop people feeling old. There are still minors who were born in the eighties, there are still eighties-people in there default year, in a sixth-form collage, and up until a few months ago, people born in the eighties still in compulsory education, and most likely people born in the eighties who are still in comprehensive school if they were dropped down a year. So if that concept makes u feel less old, then I've done some good, if not, … oh well!
