1982

A look back at the music and news stories making the headlines in 1982, the year of the 20p piece and when Channel 4 exploded onto our TV screens. In sport, Scotland brought home 26 medals from the Commonwealth Games, and Jocky Wilson became the World Darts champion. The Pope undertook an extensive tour of the UK and conducted an open-air mass in Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park. It was the year when trouble erupted over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, The Jam and Madness were riding high in the charts, and an extra-terrestrial alien three million light years from home became the movie star of the year.
