Title: Were teenagers in the 80's generally ugly? Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 21:30:30 I've been watching early series of awesome kiddies itv show Knightmare. I'm not sure if it's just the sort of people who'd go on Knightmare, but seriously, do these people have any standards?
I'm not one to leave claims un-backed up, so I'll find some pictures. Give me a min. Title: Were teenagers in the 80's generally ugly?

I might be being a bit harsh on number 1 and the other two might just be poor fashion sense, but they are all from the first episode. Title: Were teenagers in the 80's generally ugly?

Title: Were teenagers in the 80's generally ugly? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 21:49:25 Think you'd have liked the 80's show Minipops FB......here's an Observer review.
"Is it merely priggish to feel queasy at the sight of primary school minxes with rouged cheeks, eye make-up and full-gloss lipstick belting out songs like torch singers and waggling those places where they will eventually have places? The final act of last week's show featured a chubby blonde totlette, thigh-high to a paedophile, in a ra-ra skirt and high heels; her black knickers were extensively flashed as she bounced around singing the words 'See that guy all dressed in green/He's not a man, he's a loving machine.' Kiddieporn, a shop-window full of junior jailbait? And does the show thrust premature sexual awareness onto its wide-eyed performers?" Title: Were teenagers in the 80's generally ugly?

I just watched the first team to win it. Epsodes 4/5 of Series 2. They kept yelling at their dude to sidestep but not giving him a direction. Pure brilliance. They did win though, so fair play. Sidestepping seems to be the key in knightmare. The teams which keep turning their dude round all the time inevitably do shit, as they take ages shuffling about whilst their life force drains away. My favourite so far through my rewatchings is towards the end of series one when Folly (the jester dude) has an insult battle with the Level two guard. I think they were worried that they weren't going to have enough dungeon adventure to fill out the remaining episodes so padded it out with a bit of drama comedy. Pure brilliance. |
