The year in which Mark Thatcher (son of the prime minister) was lost and found in the Sahara; Erica Roe streaked at Twickenham; Freddie Laker and John de Lorean lost their businesses; The Falklands War; Prince William was born; the Tudor warship the Mary Rose was raised from the sea bed; and Channel Four began transmissions. Music from The Stranglers, Toni Basil, ABC, The England World Cup Squad, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Culture Club, Kid Creole and the Coconuts and Madness.
