Boney Fish & Boney M | The latest in Gnome Based Knowledge | Rick Minogue vs Kylie Astley
Loading player...
Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.
But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.
We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.
How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?
We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.
Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.
