But will you be a hit by remembering all of these South Tyneside scenes from 38 years ago?
Let’s Dance, Total Eclipse of the Heart and Red Red Wine were riding high in the charts while The Bill, Blackadder, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Blockbusters were all starting their run on TV.
Back closer to home, all these scenes were happening including fun days, a gym scene and cadets looking resplendent in their uniforms.
So join us as we reminisce on a great year for memories.
