This 1985 Countdown Episode looks good actually. I know Guru wanted this, so congratulations!... 'You're So Strong' live in the Countdown studio and some RARE clips is great on this particular episode. I just HOPE there is at least another Countdown. I was aiming for 3 Episodes BUT I know that is very unrealistic. So I am aiming for another one besides this. And hope it's from at least as early as 1983 as I am SURE 1982 ain't gonna happen :-(

Sad this might be the only Countdown episode this weekend - but we shall see.

1982 & 83 have gotten the short straw this year it seems unfortunately - a pity as there are some fantastic episodes from those years yet to be aired.

Anyone have a fast forward button so I can zip through to January 2013?

I SO want a 1983 and 1982 episode. I am DESPERATE for them :-( Crying :-(

That 1985 episode looks pretty good. And it includes one of my fave 80's clips "We Will Together". There are few clips that capture the essence of 1985 as well as that video
