I disagree, I think that they got it pretty close, folks tend to forget just how many changes in styles and fashions there were through the 80s it wasn't all Spandau ballet and Duran Duran thank god. 1981 was still very much Saturday Night Fever with a bit of Fame attitude thrown in for good measure
The Jam, the clash, the Police, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Blondie and The Damned were all going strong. The New Romantics were just staring to make an impression
and the "alternative" comedians such as Elton, Fry and Laurie, Enfield, Mayall and Sayle were just around the corner.
Besides much of what I remember about the 80s was style over substance anyway
Just look at the Joan Colins Fan club

I take you haven't got a very high opinion of British television then.
