50 Years of TV: 1986 - Neighbours and Moonlighting with Jennie Paddon

But before we get into the TV, Jen, let's just cover a little bit of the stuff that happened in 1986.

It was quite a significant year of events that happened.

Not all of them happy ones.

But we'll start off with the UK and France signed the Channel Tunnel Treaty on March the 18th.

That's very cool.

Have you been through the channel tunnel?

Oh, loads.

But I have a, that's so weird you say it, because I vividly remember, which obviously was years and years later when it was completed, but I remember seeing those machines, the drilling machines, and that just being such a phenomenon, thinking that they were going to connect us.

It was, that was major.

I mean, yeah, I didn't know that that was when we was 10, but.

Yeah, I really remember that being a moment.

Definitely being a big part of what was in the news for about the next however many years until it eventually opened.

Yeah, it took a while,

right?

But this might be the start of my 50 years of TV bucket list because I've never been through the channel tunnel.

What?

I know.

Okay, you must.

No, you should never say must.

But yeah, do it, Adam, do it.

I tell you what is revelationary about it.

It's getting on that train and whether it, cause I've done it by car.

I've done both sort of versions where you get in the car or when you've got on the passenger train, both being the train, obviously.

And, um, It's just magical.

I still find it magical no matter how many times I've done it.
