For personal reasons, the year I wish could be written out of the 1980s. Too many bad personal memories too private to air on any public forum.
Anyway with things that aired in the media, here goes:
Eurovision Song Contest came from Munich in Germany.
UK entry "I'm Never Giving Up" by Sweet Dreams (6th with 79 points)
Luxembourg won with "Si la vie est cadeau" by Corinne Hermès (142 points)
Two nul pointers: Turkey and Spain
Breakfast TV launched: Breakfast time on BBC1 (Mondays to Fridays only)
TV-am on ITV from 1 February 1983 (7 days a week)
Culture Club - "Karma Chameleon" was number 1 for a few weeks in October
