Three more great episodes of Countdown. This is proving to be a very good start to Retro.
Cool!
The 1981 and 1985 episodes look good - IV with Adam & The Ants
Not generally a fan of the 1987 episodes but there's usually a few good things to make them worth watching.

Hi Clip Magnet
Unfortunately mate Countdown don't like to play the full videos. Shine is missing 40 seconds from the start, I Write The News is missing 20 and the cut off about 30 seconds for My Hearts On Fire. Luckily I have all 3 in nice, clean and full anyway but I might just do some editing and use most of the Countdown videos as that is a bit better quality anyway.
