Vince enthuses about the launch of the UK's fourth channel back in November 1982, and how exciting Channel 4 was in its infancy, with its remit of providing alternative programming and showcasing contemporary art. Plus scary animations!
Our randomly-selected UK Number 1 is 1974's proto-disco Rock Your Baby by George McCrae.
Jeremy dons platforms and glitter and gives a brief rundown of the birth, heyday and decline of Glam Rock, and pays respect to the Glam Rock era hit songwriters Chinn and Chapman.
