80s nostalgia

Now you can recapture some true 80s magic, with the release of The Trap Door, the cult claymation TV series, on DVD for the first time. To celebrate we look back at what it meant to be a child of the 80s

You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank

Dungeons & Dragons was your favourite cartoon

Your lunch times were spent perfecting swan dives and backspins

You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits of Matt & Luke

You owned, or wanted a "Frankie says..." T-shirt

You have ever danced (or even worse cried) to Kylie & Jason

Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your wardrobe or make-up collection

You know who Berk, Boni, Drutt and The Thing Upstairs are

You ever did the top toggle of your coat up around your neck without having your arms in the sleeves, and knew you looked like a super-hero

You remember when the A-Ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology, and you can still sing all the words

Parachuting Action man was your favourite toy

Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt

You wondered why a popular kids TV programme told you to "Turn off your TV set and go and do something less boring instead"

You cried at Zammo's funeral

You wanted to be either Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys

You ever said "It's my ball, and if I can't be Kevin Keegan I'm going home!"

You have ever po-goed or space-hopped

You wondered why your walkie-talkie didn't have the same range as those in the Red Hand Gang

You tried to set up a "Famous Five" or "Secret Seven" gang with your school friends

You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of his Capri so it looked like KITT

You ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up

Conveyor belts regularly carried washing machines, deep-fat fryers and a cuddly toy

You could have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids
